    I played it a long time ago, but I think I can resemble my thought about it.
    It's one of the few games I never finished.
    Its graphics are simply beautiful considering its age and the controls are very good. I guess the sounds were quite alright as well, but I usually don't use game music, therefore I can't rate that part of the game. What made me annoyed: - it's a straight rip-off    I played it a long time ago, but I think I can resemble my thought about it.

    What made me annoyed:
    - it's a straight rip-off of the Diablo 2 title.
    - Endless killing and endless respawning of enemies make it very frustrating, specially when you just want to run through a map section where you already cleared everything and everyone, spellcasters make you "freeze" and force you to spend long minutes to kill everybody again even if you just wanted to pass by them.
    - Bugs...

    From my 38 years old perspective, a game that gives you the duty to repeatedly kill over and over again is simply disenchanting.    … Expand

    The Sacred Underworld expansion is the natural progression for any Sacred fans still playing the original release. With the Underworld expansion installed, Ancaria is now officially 40% bigger with even more to see and do, it doesn’t quite forward the game much but it does offer a diversion until Sacred 2 hits the shelves.

    In terms of what the expansion offers, I would say it has 2 good new character types and a very good expanded single player experience. If you are a fan of the original Sacred, you should definitely spend some time with this.

    As before, there's nothing here that's massively wrong, but nothing exactly right either, and in particular, nothing that "Diablo" didn't do just as well. [July 2005, p.99]
