Sacred Critic Reviews

Sacred made me forget how disappointed I have been with many RPG’s over the last few years, was wonderful to play, and provided many hours RPG paradise.

Sacred sets out to be little more than you’re typical hack and slash feast but with gorgeous graphics and a storyline/sound effects to match, but why shouldn’t we all devour it anyway?

It’s a massive, massive game that never gets boring and one that’s so easy to get into and so good-looking that anyone wanting good old fashioned RPG action would be stupid to even consider purchasing anything else.

A unique skill system, intriguing characters, and seemingly endless exploration await anyone willing to stay up to the wee hour playing this addictive title. I have played it obsessively since loading it, and I am just getting started.

The sheer amount of content alone and the general high quality feel of the game is enough to make this a must have for most RPG fans. If it wasn't for the bugs and the glitches, this is an easy 90+ game.

Its massive world, open-ended feel, deep arsenal, vast array of quests, epic story, good graphics/sound and addictive combat adds up to a game worth buying.

While it had many elements that were highly familiar to me, there were enough unique elements to keep the game fresh and fun.

There are no breakthroughs in terms of general design involved, but the open-ended gameplay and an admirably lengthy single-player campaign is enough to the fancy of any gamer. If we disregard the relatively weak plotline, this is really an enjoyable RPG experience with enough content and replayability to keep you occupied for days.

People don't typically play action-RPGs for their riveting narratives. They want fast-paced combat, lots of environments and beasties, and tons of cool magic weapons, armor, and loot. Sacred's got all that in spades.

Fun, addictive and quite compelling, although the repetitive nature of the gameplay does it no favours and certainly won't win over those who require something a little deeper and more meaningful. The game at least captures some of the spirit of "Diablo."

If you are new to the genre and looking for a good entry level game then Sacred Plus is definitely a great game to start with and its available at budget price.

If you’ve already played the "Baldurs Gate" series, and find yourself eager for another world to immerse yourself in, give Sacred a try and I’m sure you wont be disappointed.

The sheer amount of sound effects and spoken dialogue is quite impressive, and the musical score isn’t too shabby either.

The variety of characters offers a wide range of style to play the game, whilst the sheer size is guaranteed to impress fans of the genre.

Sacred takes the best elements from the RPG genre and fuses them with a great deal of style. The polish, attention to detail, and obvious love that went into this game makes up for its minor shortcomings.

The biggest thing in Sacred that sets it apart from the crowd is the fact that you can ride horses into battle, trampling your foes beneath you or scampering away to pound them with magic or arrows from afar.

One of the better action RPGs to come along in a while. There's a massive amount of depth, and the number of characters provides a lot of replayability.

If you enjoy action-RPGs and have been discouraged by the general lack of quality in all of the "Diablo" inspired games out there then you should give Sacred a try.

A great-looking, generally solid action role-playing game that provides a few interesting gameplay innovations...But its combat system is also somewhat finicky and unrewarding, which is a significant problem for what's fundamentally a hack-and-slash RPG.

Even with all its letdowns and bugs it’s still an enjoyable and addictive game that you’ll be going back to again and again.
