| Sacred: Review @ Gamer's Pulse |
|
Gamer's Pulse has smacked up a <a href="http://www.gamerspulse.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=435" target="_blanK">review</a> of Ascaron's action RPG 'Sacred'. Their rating is remarkably low as compared to other scores we've seen so far - a mere 29/50.<blockquote><em>Point and click. That's all I've been wanting lately: a simple, point and click role-playing game. As the processing power of computers continue to rise exponentially, the role of point and click RPGs seems to diminish. Titles like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic combine traditional role-playing elements with third-person action that steer away from old-school point and click games. Sacred attempts to reinvigorate point and click role-playing games, but fails to energize a genre that has seen better days and better titles.</em></blockquote> |

Geez, while I'm not a fan of these Diablo-style games, how can this guy call some of the most beautiful 2D backgrounds ever made "deplorable"? Maybe he needs a new monitor or new lenses, that would also explain his problems with the darkness at night. |

Two words put this schmuck in his place: Co-op Multiplayer.
Games that have this are incredibly rare, and since this mode is the most fun, I'd play the game if it looked considerably worse (say, Darkstone graphics)... |

I find that this review is accurate.I understand that other people love this game but i just not like it.
My reason for not liking it is
Bad A.I
Immersion is continiously broken with bad references.
Too repetitive combat and too many enemies. Seriously this game combat reminds me more of Lionheart than Diablo 2.
I really like the horse idea and the use of regeneration time instead of mana.
-----
Finally the world is huge but non interactive .
I have tried to like this game but i simply cannot.
Mayby if they fix the multiplayer some months later i will give it a second try. |
