General Comments

Sacred has been compared to popular classic Diablo 2. It does seem to emulate Diablo 2's formula of fast paced hack-n-slash RPGing, adding beautiful graphics, a richly detailed fantasy world and a much more detailed storyline.

However, Sacred is certainly no simple remake and is quite distinct in many ways. Instead of Diablo 2's dark, demon-infested gothic world, Sacred is set in a traditional [some might say corny] fantasy world with elves, goblins, orcs and dragons [which look suitably impressive]. Rather than Diablo 2's randomly-generated areas, Sacred provides a huge, predesigned world to explore.

The character classes, skill systems and interface actually each deserve a seperate section but that would make this review way too long. Suffice it to say that the 6 available character classes are quite distinctive and interesting, but I would say the skill system and interface, though original, does not work quite as well as Diablo 2's did.

Sacred is clearly a labour of love with its wonderful graphics, detailed world and many innovative features. It is certainly one of the few recent computer games where I really felt I got my money's worth. Furthermore the developers are clearly committed to bringing the game up to its full potential with carefully thought-out patches and even a possible free expansion pack on the horizon.
