    A complete disaster and insult to a Sacred franchise.
    Basically it's a mobile game on PC.

    A cela s'ajoute la VF ou plutôt les voix en général, car les doubleurs et doubleuses ne font que retranscrire ce qu'il y a à retranscrire... à savoir des voix débiles qui racontent n'importe quoi pendant qu'on "joue", comme une espèce de caricature qui se voudrait spirituelle mais qui fait pschiit, comme si on pétait à un dîner de la Reine d'Angleterre pendant que Benny Hill passe en accéléré.

    I cannot understand why they called "Sacred #" a game that clearly is not. If it is to target fans is an unworthy scam, some defenders said "is not a Sacred game but is a good casual game" but in fact is a bad casual game too, repetitive, with constant shameful jokes and even the graphics are worse than Sacred 2!
    But there is hope! The ex-Ascaron team is developing Unbended. Stay tuned!

    When PC gamers talk about a game being "dumbed down for the console 'tards" this is exactly what they fear. I'm not saying that's what happened, but what did happen was no different. There is nothing in this game that makes it part of the franchise. Perhaps the story may hold as canon, but the rest is a travesty.

    The main problem of this game is that was sold as a "Diablo" clone but it is a "God of War" or "Dante's Inferno", only action with some skill customization. But even if we make the comparison with its correct genre competitors, it is still better to play any others.

    This game can't satisfy anybody. For old Sacred or just RPG-fans it's just like a spit in the face, for new gamers... Well, it's kinda playable, I think, but why Sacred then? Yes, I know the Tomb Raider series has a spin-off like that, but it wasn't numbered as a sequel! Why can't you make a new title for this abomination? It's not sacred - that's for sure.

    Sacred 3 is not a real Sacred sequel. The open world, that is not open, but so linear and boring. When u take the story and theme and make a totally different game then Sacred 1 and 2, the gaming community is stunned. Action based game with a bits of rpg, that is so linear and so repetetive.

    An absolute disaster. From Sacred 1 degraded to Sacred 2 which is then degraded again to what is now presented as "Sacred 3". No loot system, button mashing 24/7, terrible dialogue, voice acting is a big slap in the face, wouldn't even call this Sacred 3.

    I bet anyone giving a rating greater than 0 is god damn generous.

    This is pure **** it's NOT a sacred game, they simply called it Sacred 3 and didn't release gameplay footage to get pre-orders.

    They knew it was **** this is nothing but milking Sacred.

    Do yourself a favor, don't buy this if you expect a Sacred game.
    If you don't mind playing an action RPG with no loot system, no open world and very very very few skills, then go ahead, waste your money.

    Now for the developer keen games:
    -No communication no word no news regarding this game since release
    -Rumours of abandonment, no patches or updates (as proof they removed everything concerning this game from their site)

    As for Deep Silver:
    It might have been deep silver's attempt to make the game better, and decision to change the direction of this game, but this was clearly the wrong direction, as shown by the majority of the community and the low scores of the game both on steam and on other sites like this one.

    The core elements should have remained the same, an open world, lots of loot, lots of skills to choose from, equipment upgrade, and immersive level ups. And should've made changes that complement these elements, not get rid of them altogether.

    If this game was called sacred citadel 2 or sacred adventures or something like that with the price of 5-20 usd at most, it might have recieved better scores and reviews. However, they didn't do it, and it probably cost them a lot. Good job Deep silver and keen games, enjoy the angry mob and low user scores and reviews.    … Expand

It's ok, but you've seen it all before; endless brain dead fighting against never ending hordes of enemies. Some of it is downright stupid, as if designed by an idiot: For example, some enemies have "shields"; they are invulnerable unless you break their shield. To fight them, you press a key - and their shields instantly break (Literally; It happens with one keypress) and then you can kill them. Why the hell would anyone carry a shield into battle then? What kind of idiot would think this makes a fun, interesting or challenging fighting system? Note to Deep Silver: Fire whoever designed the fighting system. Keep whoever did the graphics. Fire whoever pushed for the closed world system - instead of an interesting game where I choose what to do, we got a piece of **** that tells me where to go and what to do.

    I payed $50 for a game it took me about 1 hour to get bored and tired of. The limited number of moves that seem to be the exact same on all the chars is terrible. The lack of an open world makes it boring.

What about Elder Scrolls? Sacred has, or more precise had, a basic formula that many people enjoyed and like Elder Scrolls and Fallout, expected. Here are the two biggest issues for me about this game:
    1) It should never have been called Sacred 3 and it is no secret why they did it. If it was named something more along the lines of 'Sacred Citadel', that would have been more acceptable.
    2) The voice script is HORRIBLE. Maybe if I was 10 I would enjoy it, ....maybe. This alone makes this game just about unplayable.

    I also saw that some of you say that we should have watched the gameplay trailer before we bought it. Well, the I did, and the gameplay trailer really didn't show the specifics at all. It could easily be looked at as still an open world game.

But to ask €50,- AND require people to buy a day-one DLC with the (probably) coolest character in the game, it just an insult to both gamers and the industry. It truly is hard to say a good thing about the game when you see the price, but the graphics are kinda nice.

    However hard you may try you will not find any reason to play Sacred 3. It is completely unclear why it deserves full price, when its natural place is among the f2p mobile games. There’s nothing left in Sacred 3 that we used to love in previous installments. And there’s nothing new that could inspire our love for the Sacred 3. [Oct 2014, p.92]
