Summary: Refreshing game, but cherry on top is missing
Review: After playing Diablo 2 for the last few years, I was really excited to see Sacred released. It's different, yet the same from Diablo 2. The graphics are superior and there are a TON more things to do. They smartly programmed the experience gain, too. No more level 80 in one day. The skill variations are VAST, so you could make several different builds of one character, so...it might take you a few months.

The single player mode is the winner with this game. You can do quests at your own pace, explore at your own pace, etc. Multiplayer on the Net is a little shaky. Wanna do a campaign or mission on multiplayer? Good Luck. I have an extremely difficult time questing in multiplayer. It seems all the quests are already done or in progress...that is the frustrating part.

The battle graphics are smokin' HOT! They will bring a tear to your eye!!

Verdict: Excellet game that needs a few finishing touches put on multiplayer. Then this will truly be the "Diablo Killer".

Summary: Like a much improved Diablo
Review: Anyone buying this game should first of all download the 1.8.6 (or whatever version is current) patch from the official Sacred website. It fixes a lot of minor annoyances, including not being able to heal your horse when you drink a healing potion.

That aside, this game is like a beautifully rendered, modern-day Diablo. 3D character models and items set against gorgeous, photo-realistic backdrops make for an exhilirating gaming experience. The lush, detailed forests; the snow-capped mountains of the north; the harsh deserts of the far south - it's all here, and shown in amazing detail.

In short, Sacred is like a much improved version of Diablo. If you've a love for adventuring, for questing and "dungeoning", it's a must-buy.

Summary: Tried the demo
Review: Demos don't always show the full product but if this storyline continues on in the manner that it is, a player will spend many hours exploring this new world.

It is very similar in feel to Diablo II but with some excellent additions including the ability to combine spells and weapon styles into one easy button that you can push.

Distance always proves to be an issue in many RPG's. This game provides an easy to get there horse system and if you forget where you parked your animal, just whistle by using the easy to hit horseshoe on you character's picture. This game even has horse upgrades.

Six character classes include some of the old favorites like a gladiator "tank" and some new ones, like seraphim (angel) and vampiress.

This game is even boasting a similar online setup as Blizzard did with Diablo II. So if you played Diablo II like I did all day and night, your wait for a successor is almost over. Twenty - four hours and counting!

Summary: Awesome game, just like diablo seris
Review: Everyone says its buggy but i've played it for a few days straight :-) and i've had one bug, but i downloaded the newest patch and it has ran just fine for the longest time. not only that but i only have a 2 ghz comp, 64 mb video card. it runs just fine. my advice is just get the newest patch from the sacred official website.
the game is great though. the world is absolutely huge and i love games that allow free movement over the land. in diablo you had to go from quest to quest through one path. this you can go explore the world before you even get half way through the main quest. if you liked morrowind you'll also like this. the graphics aren't as 3d but this is a big, fun game.

Summary: Caution Laptop Users
Review: First, I gave this game a single star for one reason. I couldn't play it. It might be a great game and bought it based on recommendations made here. However, when I got it home and loaded it on my laptop (866 PIII-M, 1 GB mem, 16 Mb Video), it actually hung my XP system - impressive! I set all display and sound options to the minumum, downloaded the patchs, got the latest DirectX runtime (9.0b) and still it would not load. If you look in the readme file the company mentions that the game may not run on all laptop tops due to their inability to test every integrated video chip configuration and I guess mine was one :(. So, if you're thinking of installing this game on a laptop please be aware that there may be problems. I'm not saying it won't run (I had the minimum recommended system requirements but not the recommended requirements) but be prepared to be frustrated and ensure you can return the game if it you have too.

Summary: Diablo? It's even better.
Review: Firstly, I haven't run into any of the bugs or game crashes that some of the other reviewers reported. The game runs smoothely and flawlessy at all times on me computer which isn't really high-end as I am just about ready to scrap it and buy a more current gaming machine. All their rants of crashes and buggy gameplay are probably due to their not keeping their graphics drivers updated or probably have something else running in the background. My only problem was getting the game to run while I had ventrilo running. That is the only thing that caused the game to crash. For this I give the game 4 stars. Would have been 5.
This game is for lack of a better word, AMAZING. I haven't had as much fun in an RPG since Ultima VIII or diablo. I didn't like diablo 2 or Baldurs gate. BG was way too boring. This game is very fun to play. The inventory/Items system is straight out of Diablo. The combat is hack/slash like Diablo but with added skillsets to perform special moves and combinations of them. The world is pretty big with alot of cool suprises if you stray from the mainquest paths on the map. The map system is sweet and easy to use giving you the ability to zoom in and see everywhere you have already been. I could go on and on about every aspect of this game but I'll stop here.
I was an Avid RPG gamer but the last few yrs I have barely played any due to the types of games coming out. This game has renewed my love for the Genre and i have been playing nonstop for the last 3 days.

Summary: really fun...
Review: i bought this game on a gamble, not sure what it was really like...turns out it's great! if you like Diablo II you'll like this one. i think that Sacred does have better graphics and a bit more humor than Diablo. there's also a few features that are far superior to Diablo such as you don't get tired when you run, if you import a high level character the merchants automatically have stuff that fit your skills, and so on. you can play this game with multiple people, which just adds to the enjoyment. all in all i love this game.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: what ain't no country I heard of
Review: I do not know what or where this game is from or made for but it seems windows was not it's 1st intended place to be played as I could not get it to work and shelved it after hour of trying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For Diablo fans!
Review: I don't know what to say. This game is just totally amazing. I gotta say to you, after I started playing this game my life got better. My mom won't let me play any games unless I got good grades so now I do better in school instead of failing like other reviewers who plays games and also I can finally play a real Diablo clone! Like it says in PCgamer review (82% rating for PCgamer magazine), I also trully think this is the first well made Diablo clone and everyone who is a Diablo fan will love it. It might not have everything that Diablo has but it sure does come close. And this time you can play up to 16 people online instead of 8 people which makes it more fun. In my opinion, Sacred's single player missions seem actually better than Diablo's single player missions. The multiplayer is about the same but Diablo still stands on the top. Just think of this game as another great expansion for Diablo 2 with better graphics, better single player levels, and up to 16 people online. You don't even need good computer to run this game. My recommended system for this game is only P3 1ghz, 256mb ram, and GeForce 4 or Radeon 8500. It didn't work so well on my cheap Celeron 897mhz, 256mb ram, and GeForce 2 but I finally got a new computer last month to fully enjoy this game with no slow downs or bugs. My new system is AMD Athlon XP 3200+ , 512mb ram, Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 256mb video card and I ran the game on highest settings. This game a trully one helluva game and any Diablo fans or RPG fans should definitly get this game.(...)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Barely works, and support is lacking
Review: I got this game a few months ago and I have only been able to keep it running for a few hours of gameplay. And the company's technical support doesn't know anything at all about their product. I let them know what is wrong, give them crash logs, everything...and they still can't figure it out. It got to the point where I gave the game to my friend and I just play it at his house all the time now. Don't get unless you know EXACTLY that it is going to work.
