Summary
In just six months, Ascaron's Sacred has earned itself a solid reputation as well as a loyal fanbase. And to draw even greater numbers to the role-playing epic, the company has unleashed Sacred Plus - a worthwhile package containing the original game and a wealth of new bonus features.
Made free to download to those already in possession of the original game, Sacred Plus comes with two new gaming locales, a variety of new quests and sub-quests, more adversaries, new bosses and new weapons and armour. The world of Sacred has never looked so good.
Telling the epic tale of a fantasy world shadowed by a familiar and threatening force, Sacred pits players as a brave and skilled warrior as they embark on an adventure to bring a merciless being to his knees. This approach to role-playing games, with regards to story telling, has always been popular in the genre, and it works extremely well in Sacred.
As well as offering an in-depth story and hardcore RPG experience, Sacred boasts an element of action-based gameplay in combat. To begin with, players are able to choose from a selection of six playable characters, each of which hone their own set of special skills and abilities. These characters include Battlemages, Wood Elves, Gladiators, and Vampiresses. Whatever your decision, it will noticeably affect the way Sacred is played as far as your approach to battle is concerned.
And that's where the action element of play comes in. Using a selection of combat moves and magic spells, players can combine their talents for single-click attacks. There are also sections of the game where horseback combat is an option, and with thousands of weapons at your disposal, some parts of your adventure will seem more akin to a bloody hack and slash affair.
Sacred Plus delivers a great role-playing experience that not only brings with it a ton of extras, it reminds players who missed the original game just what is on offer.
