Tags: Ascaron Entertainment; SacredNot too much to say here except that Sacred has been reviewed by Quandary, awarding it 3 1/2 stars out of 5 (Above average). The review basically goes to explain the reviewer's experience with the game, with not so much criticism as commentary on how the game works. Here's a snippet:
All in all Sacred is certainly a game for fighting fanatics. I thought the combat was too constant but it is an action RPG. I also found occasionally that it didn't go as smoothly as planned. Sometimes it took some extra clicking to get my character to start fighting, in the meantime she took some damage. But this wasn't constant and she certainly shaped up to be a consummate champion. If you're not looking for an intricate story and lots of character interaction then there's quite a fun and hectic journey to be had through the troubled land of Ancaria.Hectic is a good word for the combat interface, which I found to be troublesome at best, painfully annoying at worst, especially on the horse.
