As some of you may know, my preferred type of game is basically Diablo/Darkstone - a genre which is sometimes dismissed as "action" RPG ;)

I like the ability to collect various bits and bobs and tinker with my characters to get the best setup with regard to equipment etc. At heart I'm a packrat and will happily dispense with the whole THACO/3rd Edition -v- 2nd Edition ruleset malarky in favour of carnage and mayhem. Call me shallow if you will, but that's just the kind of guy I am.

Now it's been a while since I saw something that really appealed to me, Dungeon Siege was a big disappointment, NWN was a nice distraction, but I never felt the need to replay it, Gothic II and KotOR were fun, but lacked a certain something. Divine Divinity, Morrowind and several others are sitting in their packaging sampled, but dismissed.

So there I was, browsing the wastes of cyberspace when I saw an article about a newly released game demo. The description seemed interesting, so I tracked it down and installed.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you SACRED. Old school isometric action RPG goodness, now with added horses! :D

Get Googling.

Or just scroll down our Misc. RPG's page and select the topic called 'Sacred' ;)

LOL [img]smile.gif[/img] There are a lot of Diablo clones out there, Mouse, some of them even noteworthy. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Start playing real roguelikes instead; they're cheaper, better, and folks will stop calling you shallow [img]smile.gif[/img]

I must say, I am very tempted by your opinion - If it's really *that* good, going over Dungeon Siege, NWN, Divine Divinity, all the way up to Diablo, then I'll sure as heck grab it!


Thank you for the reference [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmmmm - young Padwan, you have still much to learn in the ways of Moderators. We dispense wisdom and insights as we come across them [img]graemlins/starwars.gif[/img]

On the other hand, you could just claim I missed the earlier thread ;)

Yes Master. I must unlearn what I have learned." For once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate my destiny. :D

That didn't really make any sense, did it?

Any link to this game named Sacred?

Check the other thread for a link ;)

what thread? I don't see any thread mentioning this game.
