Sacred 2 Gold is a hack-and-slash ARPG often described as a Diablo clone. I highly recommend installing the community patch. It addresses numerous crashes, bugged quests, and other issues while adding some quality-of-life improvements. For example, without the patch, active buffs deactivate every time you get on your mount, forcing you to recast them manually. With the patch, buffs stay active until you decide to turn them off. Unfortunately, not all problems are fixed—quest markers still sometimes appear in unreachable spots, and the UI occasionally disappears, requiring you to open and close the map repeatedly to fix it. At least the crashes are gone. While the game can be a lot of fun, it also has its fair share of bugs and frustrations, and emphasizes quantity over quality in many aspects. Combat and character-building are solid, although the customization is limited, and classes are gender-locked. Instead of relying on typical archetypes like warrior and rogue, the game has unique classes such as the Seraphim, Dryad, and Temple Guardian. The loot system is extensive, with plenty of weapons and armor to discover, and the skill tree offers a lot of depth for building your character. Graphics are decent for the game’s age, with detailed 3D visuals from a top-down perspective. The semi-open world is vast and divided into biomes like grasslands, swamps, deserts, icy regions and more. The draw distance feels limited, sometimes affecting visibility. Fast travel is available through city portals, and resurrection pylons return you to specific points upon death. Navigation is smoother than in the original Sacred, with environmental obstacles replacing obvious invisible walls, though there are still places where it looks like you should be able to pass but can’t. Later game areas feel less fleshed out, with more linearity and fewer side quests available. Exploration in general is rarely peaceful, as enemies constantly spawn around you. The aggro system is inconsistent—some enemies right in front of you ignore you entirely, while others charge at you from far away. The sound effects and ambient sounds are good, but the voice acting is mediocre at best. Only the main character and a handful of NPCs are voiced though, while the rest remain silent. I really liked the theme song by Blind Guardian. The campaign offers a choice between light and shadow, essentially allowing for a good or evil playthrough, but the story is fairly basic. Difficulty levels include bronze (easy) and silver (normal), with higher difficulties unlocked after completing the game once. Some quest givers tell you they can’t help you right now and to return later. This might indicate these quests are tied to higher difficulty levels, but since I only played through the game once, I am not really sure, and they could very well be unfinished quests instead. Over 500 side quests sound impressive but mostly boil down to repetitive tasks like killing a number of specific monsters, collecting items, or escorting NPCs. The escort missions are one of the worst I have ever seen in a game. NPCs can’t be instructed to wait somewhere and always wander into danger, drawing more enemies and making these quests a headache. Side quests fail if the person dies, so you constantly have to drink potions to keep them healthy. The game auto-saves frequently and only provides a single save file per character, so if you mess up a quest, you’d need to Alt+F4 to restart from your last save point. There’s no manual load option, and returning to the main menu requires using save+exit. Your base movement speed is slow, so having a mount to travel faster is great. However, mounts aren’t invulnerable and don’t have visible health bars, leaving you guessing when they’re about to die. You can only make basic attacks while mounted and constantly have to dismount to use your combat skills. Since you are fighting constantly, this back-and-forth becomes a hassle. Staying on the mount and relying on basic attacks feels dumb, because what’s the point of having skills if you can’t use them? The unique mounts you unlock later in the game solve these problems, but they aren’t available early on. Another annoyance is accidentally entering caves because you stand too close to an entrance. You also need to dismount to trigger the loading screen for a dungeon, then call your mount again once inside. This process feels unnecessarily tedious. I think Sacred 1 is still the better game, and let’s not even talk about Sacred 3.

Old, but gold! I Still love the Game ! very important for the functionality of the game: got to the darkmatters forum and follow the instructions of the installation for the community patch and the Enhanced Edition. Otherwise there will be a lot of game chrashes under systems with Win10 or 11 I play with Gold Edition + CM 1.60 + EE 3.2 Community Patch: https://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/28498-sacred-2-community-patch-installation-guide/ Enhanced Edition: https://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/357-sacred-2-enhanced-edition/ Have now about 100 hours of Gameplay with win 11. Game chrashed just two times. If the HUD dissappears, just use a Cave entrance or teleport to fix it.

This review assumes you obtained the necessary patches to get it working. Without, do not bother as the game will frequently crash and sometimes not even open at all. There are all some fantastic conversion mods for updating the visuals as well, but are not required to get it working, just the patches. The Great: - stupidly huge map and quest count - characters and skill trees that break the mould of your typical ARPG's - tons of items with some customizing of said items also available - lots of humour; this game parodies many of the tropes used in these games The Jank - You'll need to shuffle your cameras position now and again, especially in caves or some building doors - You'll stop caring about the main quest in approx 5 minutes or less - You'll care about mini quests even less - tiny glitches in ai behaviour sometimes Overall - huge game and massive time investment; this is for those who use ARPG's to unwind with some brain-dead action after a long day at work, not for those looking for some deep story layered over the ARPG experience. It is dated in many ways, but in many others Sacred was ahead of its time by including QoL elements we now take for granted.

As much fun as it was in 2008. Get yourself the "Community 160" patch and you good to go. So far it crashed once in 10h of playtime, but didnt lose any progress. Most quests work even so it feels abit clunky from time to time. Clicking the silver quest marker on the map helps to update it! Also taking screenshots, can teleport you to a random location, for whatever reason

I've played this game longer than 22 hours cause it doesn't count offline hours, but I love this game. You always have things to do and different quests depending on which side you choose. I played this as a kid and still to this day as an adult, my favourite part of this is riding horses. Don't get me wrong, the game is old and there are mechanics that really frustrate me like missing your hits on enemies. Yet there are a lot of pros too. The customisation is advanced and the graphics too (still old retro but not terrible). I recommend this game if you like RPG and fantasy as everything you do leads to a bigger story. If you have time, I recommend hyper-fixating on this game. Personally, I haven't tried the multiplayer option cause I have no one to play with, but playing alone is great too! So if you're stuck on what game you want to play, try this one.
