Oh hey, that sound from Metrico seems familiar. Maybe because they took it from one of the Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) speeches in Fight Club, or the song "This Is Your Life" from the soundtrack but replaced The Dust Brothers music.

"You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

I used to listen to that song just before sleeping every night.
...I was very depressed then.

Got Sacred 3. Its ... ok. Just lucky I picked it up very cheap due to voucher and an old credit I was owed.

Graphically it is quite beautiful, though no manual camera panning, no loot, no world travel, no inventory and upgrades are only offered at the end of each level. Other than that, its grinding battles without the gradual perks of a collective inventory.

It plays like a side-scroller with button mashing but no impressive power-ups. Not good.

Its a game that makes fun of itself in narrative, but no one is laughing; Imagine crickets chirping. Awkward.

For all those curious ones who want to try it, wait till sales or bargain bins much later. Maybe DLC's will add a more rpg elements by then? Doubtful.

I'll play it till I've finished, but I'm not impressed enough to really admit its worthwhile, except if you have nothing else to play for a few minutes.

@Scarshi I enjoyed Sacred 2, but this sounds worse in every way as you describe it.

@OHGFawx @Scarshi Once I finish this wannabe Sacred game I'll go back to Sacred 2. Its not as pretty, but it ticks the right boxes.

Diablo 3 and even Torchlight 2 are better than this and much more challenging. That's saying a lot.

Do yourselves a favor and watch either TotalBiscuit's video on Sacred 3 or any other gameplay before purchasing it (I recommend that you don't).


It's not the old Sacred you remember (the Diablo clone)..it's a consolized hack and slash game with no loot and character progression (skill trees).

@Darkhol0w it wasn't "consolized." Ascaron went bankrupt after Sacred 2, Deep Silver bought the rights and just figured it was better to take the game in a new direction rather than make a faithful sequel to a game that bankrupt a company. And Sacred 2's console version was pretty much identical to the PC version, just without the DLC.


Maybe if Sacred had ever been more than a niche franchise they could have delivered something more similar to Sacred 2. Can't blame them for seeing Ascaron's bankruptcy as a reason to seek out a new audience for the franchise.

@Ish_basic solid points. Very solid points. I'm curious to see their sales numbers to see if it works out for them, as right now all I hear people talking about is how bad this game is, and how it isn't a true sequel.

@Ish_basic @Darkhol0w They could have at least let the old audience know that they weren't going to get what they expected. They did very little of that.

If they wanted a new audience for a new game, then why slap the Sacred name on it? It seems they wanted the best of both worlds. To draw in the old audience with the name, and a new one with a game that doesn't relate to that name. It's dishonest, and shows greed as the main motive for its creation (not to mention the day 1 dlc and absurd price tag)

Really want metrico. And I thought road less traveled was coming to vita as well. Too bad I can't get any of them because I don't have enough room on my memory card

Nice underline hidden sarcasm pun in the beginning there about Sacred 3 :D. I agree with the guy below about how Sacred 3 can be summed up as bad. They took a decent-alright-ish franchise and completely ran it into the ground and made it go from decent to just straight up bad. Happy I read about it first on steam forum before wasting money.
