Video Game Reviews of Sacred: Gold Edition
Customer Review: A HUGE adventure game...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this game for a few weeks now, and thus far I've logged some 25 hours on it. The gameplay is your run of the mill hack-n-slash diablo-esque sort. What sets it apart are the absolutely HUGE locales - in the 25 hours I have spent running all over this game's vast environments, I have only uncovered 9% of the game's map. The graphics are pretty, 3D characters placed on 2d backgrounds, but the renderings are sharp and attractive. The voice acting ranges from cheesy to excellent, and the deathcries of the fallen enemies are a sweet song to the ear. There are truckloads of items and loot to be found, and you'll doubtlessly spend much time accumulating gear and unloading it at the various merchants. The action is fun and fast, and there are ALWAYS enemies to be had. The gore is fun, just fountains of spraying red on the screen and satisfying puddles of viscera that slowly form and seep under the corpses of fallen foes. The music ranges from superbly orchestrated goodness (the desert track comes to mind) to mediocre synthesized blandness. There are some fun references to outside pop material, and you'll have a hoot just reading grave markers. The skills are a fun addition, but I found myself relying more upon plain good old melee combat. The questing is good but not great; you'll find yourself doing many quests that consist of "go and fetch this item and bring it back to me." Many of the NPC characters say the same things over and over again, so speaking with them isn't heavily encouraged. Still, a very solid title. You can get the whole Sacred Underground collection for less than 20 bucks here on Amazon, and if you're a fan of the genre, you really can't go wrong. It's fun. I even got my wife playing it. I also recommend Divine Divinity.
