First, I gave this game a single star for one reason. I couldn’t play it. It might be a great game and bought it based on recommendations made here. However, when I got it home and loaded it on my laptop (866 PIII-M, 1 GB mem, 16 Mb Video), it actually hung my XP system – impressive! I set all display and sound options to the minumum, downloaded the patchs, got the latest DirectX runtime (9.0b) and still it would not load. If you look in the readme file the company mentions that the game may not run on all laptop tops due to their inability to test every integrated video chip configuration and I guess mine was one
. So, if you’re thinking of installing this game on a laptop please be aware that there may be problems. I’m not saying it won’t run (I had the minimum recommended system requirements but not the recommended requirements) but be prepared to be frustrated and ensure you can return the game if it you have too.

The people that actually play the game dont care if your computer doesnt play the game. if u cant play it then its your computer cause mine isnt top notch but good enough and i can play it no problem with no gliches or anything.
otherwise i have polayed it through and it is a great game. a pure hack n slash and just like diablo 2 cept bnet way better. if you like d2 then you will like this cause it is awesome gameplay and lots of fun to play. i only borrowed it and the day i returned it i bought it. its awsome and buy it.

So far i have only played the demo version of this game. It is not as addictive as Diablo 2 LOD but the graphics make up for that. I think that Encore has a lot of work to do on fixing those bugs though. There are lots of places for improvement. For example i called my horse and my characted disappeared until my character mounted it. That kinda freaked me out. I hope that Encore polished the rough egdes of this game a bit, and it might just be as smooth as Diablo 2 and Ultima Online.

I have NEVER had so many problems with a game as I have with this one. Mind you, not every game that comes out is perfect, but at least they could have made the darn thing able to START without having to hack the file and UNCLICK all of the “supposedly” great features!!
I’m glad that I bought it used for a cheap price!

I’ve had this game for an hour, and it has crashed 5 times. The first three times took my PC down completely. The PC itself is a nice AMD 2500+ with a Radeon 9800 PRO, 1GB dual-channel RAM, and it runs today’s high-end games like FarCry and UT2004 without a hitch. Obviously the fault lies in Encore Software’s shoddy coding.
After I lowered the game’s video settings to their lowest level, I was unfortunately able to play the game. The gameplay is straight out of 1997, with an inventory and fight system that is clunky and hard to use. The graphics were very poor even for compatibility mode, and the voice acting was dull.
Sacred is marketed as being ‘like Diablo’. This is an incomplete statement. The game is ‘like Diablo,’ only if one removed all of the fun, enjoyment, and excitement from the game.
Actually, that’s unfair. I suppose there is a certain amount of excitement in waiting to see if your computer will crash ‘this time’.
The developer’s website doesn’t seem to have patches linked, but I was able to find the 1.66 patch via Google search. This patch fixed some multiplayer issues, but did nothing to improve the stability of the game.
I’m very tired of having to pay to beta-test poor software. I took this game back within 2 hours of buying it, and will steer clear of all other Encore products — though if they last long enough to produce anything else I will be suprised.
