- Sacred 2 is fun for what it is, but ultimately fails to capture the old Diablo magic. Combat is nowhere near the tight, tactical paradise that Diablo II could reach in its better moments, and the framerate is a constant drag. Targeting spells like meteor showers or teleports is slow and clumsy on a gamepad, and the AI for followers is pretty broken.
Adam Biessener · Sep 22, 2009 Reviewed on X360 - Sacred 2: Fallen Angel is actually a surprisingly engaging RPG-meets-hack-and-slash affair. Despite issues with its main plot-line and unnecessarily large map, this is the perfect couch RPG. Once you pop, it's kinda hard to stop.
Sammy Barker · Jun 15, 2009 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Sacred 2 is an odd bird indeed. Nearly every second I played, my brain screamed that everything is wrong; I shouldn’t be enjoying the dull and drab mess. Simply put, there’s nothing like Sacred 2 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It’s a hack-n’-slash game with what I believe to be the right stuff -- a delicious mix of grinding, looting, and rewards.
Jim Sterling · May 28, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Sacred 2 isn't the greatest hack-and-slasher, but it's a slickly put-together one with tons of quests that will give you dozens of hours of playing time both online and off. Even with its repetitive missions and other design issues, like so many other reasonably well-crafted kill-loot games it has a way of getting under your skin and keeping you entranced for hours at a time.
Brett Todd · May 15, 2009 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - The true draw here is the combat and class customization, so if you've got a few friends around, it could serve as a solid distraction for a while with its options for online play while you wait for something better to come along.
Charles Onyett · May 13, 2009 Reviewed on PC, PS3Read full review - Though the console version seems to generally improve upon the game's controls, it also is visually less impressive than the PC title and is technically behind the curve - loads of patches have fixed a lot of problems with the PC outing. Nonetheless, whichever platform you choose, you won't be disappointed with the hack 'n slash goodness the game provides - even if you've done it all before.
Jonathan Marx · May 12, 2009 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Sacred 2 is definitely worth checking out, particularly if/when the game is patched. If these kinds of games aren’t your cup of tea, there’s nothing new here that will change your mind or your opinion of the genre. If it weren’t for all the bugs, Sacred 2 would get a better score, but as it stands now it needs some significant patching to reach its full entertainment potential.
Aerox · Dec 08, 2008 Reviewed on PCRead full review - PC gamers who've been salivating over the prospect of the next Diablo will undoubtedly seek temporary solace in the familiar gameplay found in Sacred 2 and be willing to turn a blind eye to the title's annoying bugs and occasionally repetitious play mechanics just to get their fix. Indeed, overlook the few minor irritating aspects of the game, and you'll find Sacred 2 to be surprisingly enjoyable.
NATHAN MEUNIER · Nov 11, 2008 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Sadly, others will find it too hard to see past the pop-in, framerate, poor animation and niggling bugs. Had Ascaron reigned in the content a little, and polished a smaller game to a higher standard, the score below would have been at least a couple of marks higher.
Dan Pearson · May 25, 2009 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Sacred 2 is the best Diablo clone since Titan Quest and its excellent expansion, Immortal Throne, and while the compulsion to play is there, the unholy alliance of clicking and collecting works and works well. The minute that compulsion fades, however, you'll be gone and unlikely to return, lost in a storm of unfettered hype for Diablo III while the realm of Ancaria sips at its T-Energy, stares into the middle-distance, and weeps.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
T Energy has been flowing through Ancaria since time itself. This mysterious power forms the beginning of all life, is the source of all magic and the origin of all thought. For an era, it was the angelic Seraphim who watched over the T Energy and therefore over the fate of the entire world. They passed their knowledge on to the High Elves, so that they could benefit from T Energy. But the High Elves let the power over T Energy tear their society apart, and war and strife broke out. Worse than that, the T Energy itself went out of control, turning negative and creating destructive evil in the land.
Developer: Ascaron
