Jan. 2025

My personal contender for the most underappreciated game ever, this 3rd person RTS-RPG might have been ahead of its time. Despite the graphics being obviously dated (with some models even being funny to look at), the game holds up surprisingly well mechanically. Army management shouldn't cause problems to anybody with RTS experience, the character you control feels responsive and targeting is intuitive, though do expect the occasional jankiness. Sacrifice's replayability factor is truly astounding. While any single playthrough will be relatively short, each chapter gives you the choice to serve one of five gods. Even though some of them might eventually withdraw their favor and not always be willing to extend it back, the number of possible mission permutations remains staggeringly high. Finishing each chapter gives you access to the chosen god's abilities and army units, so depending on the path chosen, you might end up with drastically different builds each time you finish the game. The plot of the game is dark, engaging and narrated with not-exaggerated flair. The occasional banter between the gods gives them personality, and provides some non-intrusive comedic relief. Depending on your choices, the story might unfold in many different ways, though always heading toward the same end. You might witness different events, listen to different dialogue, find new allies and fight new opponents each time you replay Sacrifice. If there's any game I'd like to see remade - it's this one.

One of the best game back in the days IMHO. Still very good today. Has some unique gameplay & mechanics, like terraforming - for a game that is almost 25 years old that is quite impressive. Definitely needs a remake. And definitely recommend to play it!

Sept. 2024

Legitimately one of the best cult RTS games of all time, if you know you know. Also imagine a world where you play a game that doesn't have crippling bugs in it. This is that time.

June 2024

I don't know why I'm writing this after all these years but this game truly is amazing. No strategy game has come close to this in terms of story, gameplay and innovation. I would absolutely love this classic to be remade and would happily pay whatever the asking price was. A truly great great game.

April 2024

This is my all-time favorite game there has truly never been another game like it if you can get past the graphics the game will knock your socks off!
