It's been eight years since Blizzard created Diablo, effectively turning the action and RPG genres upside down. However, as this legendary title crossed into the record books, the search for the successor to its throne spawned almost as quickly. While some games have tried to figure out what made the town of Tristram so addictive to fight through, none have actually come close to its actual formula. So, at first glance, you might think that Encore's latest title, Sacred, is simply just another clone following in Blizzard's footsteps. Yet it manages to capture some of the spirit of Diablo better than most clones we've seen, primarily because of its vast game world, and a number of creative spins on the action/RPG formula that significantly boosts its replayability.
