Does not look to good imho :stuck_out_tongue:
I remember it beeing so good… but now seeing this I feel just… meh :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve personally never played Sacred 2. I only played Sacred:Gold, the first game.

Sacred 1 imo had better art style. I don’t know whether or not it was better than Sacred 2 in other aspects as well. I’m still hoping that they do a Sacred 1 remaster eventually.

Looks nice. Why no Sacred 1 remaster however?

My thoughts exactly.

It’s out and it’s a dumpster fire.

Well that’s too bad. Will wait for patches and hope they fix the game.

I wish they will make a proper Scared 3 or Sacred 4, but that seems unlikely in the short run:

I wish developers would drop their shovels and stop digging up the graves of old classics. I’d rather stick with buggy and potentially unfinished messes that are the old games than dealing with their ‘demasters’.

I feel more confident in trusting a community fix from a shady website that makes my CPU fans speed up than whatever crap modern devs put out.

Sadly I have to agree. A lot of this stuff is trying to sell nostalgia or something. Just shows a lack of creativity as well imho. Nothing wrong with the original with the community patch.

If you dig deep through Steam/GOG, you’ll eventually find a new title that’s worth playing -

Thanks for the tip!
I have actually played Tower of Kalemonvo and enjoyed it, will buy it soon.

Skald - the graphics is not for me at the moment, i cannot tolerate such style, though the game should be great

i saw Svarog and comparison to Gothic (one of my favourite games) is promising, maybe will try it later.

Hah, interesting.

I tried Tower of Kalemonvo yesterday and not sure I like it. It’s not bad, but the combat seems a bit strange with no way to defend yourself as far as I could tell.

For Skald, I don’t mind the graphics. I think it has it’s charm, but the gameplay wasn’t doing it for me. It was ok, but not exciting enough for me to keep playing.

I do like Svarog a lot, though I haven’t finished it yet. The atmosphere is nice, the skills can have interesting combinations. The world is well crafted. Pretty cool imho.

I would like to add Din's Legacy on Steam (and the older Din's Curse on Steam ) more in the vain of Kalemonvo, but a bit more wacky :smiley: You can combine multiple classes into a big mess and it has some dynamic world stuff going on with factions and things. It’s not something I play a lot, but it can be quite fun from time to time.

Interesting. I discovered Soldak’s stuff back when I was searching for Diablo clones. Ended up discovering Grim Dawn before i could try the Din series of games. Is there an overarching plot with an end goal in their Din games, Zombasite or is it just “mow down monsters endlessly” ?

I think it’s mostly random. :sweat_smile: You can form relations with towns and it can carry over into the next map/challenge, but it’s mostly bashing monsters. Some maps are dungeons where you have to escape, others are defend the town, and there’s some other variations, but it’s been a while since I played it tbh.

Grim Dawn is far more interesting in any case :stuck_out_tongue:
