Tags: Ascaron Entertainment; SacredIn the worst review yet of Ascaron's Sacred, Gamespy serves up the punishment and "awards" the game with a meager 2/5 stars. It's a short and uninspired affair, mostly mentioning some general gameplay and bug issues, such as this:
Other than quest bugs, one of Sacred's most annoying problems is that the controls don't respond all the time. Sometimes you'll try to attack, but your character will just stand there, for reasons you can't determine. Other times, your combat arts just won't work, even when you've gotten them to work in the past. The game also seems to occasionally lose the last move of a combo chain after you've exited the game and restarted.
Having played the game for quite some time, I'd agree that it's somewhat buggy - but it sure as hell didn't reserve that infitesmal score.
