Its a completely different game from the other Sacred 1 and 2, they are really nice rpg with huge loot, open world, arpg huge modification style, but this, this have become an arcade hack n slash game, with almost nothing related to the sequel (only 2 things is related is seraphim and arcadia!), this would makes Sacred fans become frustrating toward Deep Silver. I also have played Sacred 1 and 2 and totally not agree with how this game have became, feel like i got cheated because it have the name of Sacred
About the game, i feel its not THAT bad itself if it don't have the Sacred name, nice graphics, quick and fun action, but thats just everything, too simple modification, only able to bring 2 skills to the field -_-, constant character (no different skin or suchs), ultra repeatable playing (like 5 games modes repeat over and over again, u will probably see all on the first 2-3 hrs playing), really childish jokes.... , dodge should have follow ur arrow button, not the mouse (they screwed it up), the beginning is too hard but the later is really mindless playing (mobs high hp, u strong), Co-op is fine but the boring gameplay also drag it down (1 turn wheel, 1 become sand bags for mobs to attack)
By the way if any Sacred fans come here and read this, should know there is hope if you still wanted a Sacred-likes game in the future. The older developers of Sacred 1 and 2 are now working on a new arpg game called Unbended, and they need suport, so please take a visit there and gives some bucks to make the game truly Sacred game
Just imagine if Sacred 2 have Sacred 3 graphics and hack'n'slash quick gameplay....it should be far even better than Diablo 3, but they messed it up, even lot worse than Blizzard did to Diablo 3
