Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
Since the last big announcement by Blizzard, fans of hack & slash speak more than Diablo III. It is true that the series is at the root of its kind, not talking about no "diablo-like" and that the protected by Blizzard which is already very impressive, but it seems no question of an exit before several months so why not focus on games coming out today? Author of very nice of Sacred that four years ago Ascaron actually returned to the front of the stage with a series simply entitled Sacred 2: an opportunity to forget Blizzard few hours?
While retaining the action and nervousness style Diablo, Sacred first name had a competitive edge by increasing significantly the richness of the universe. The world Ancaria is much larger than other securities offering of its kind, the quests are more numerous and all have a touch of "adventure" far from unpleasant. Among Germans Ascaron, no visible change a winning team. Thus, the world Ancaria is still in the program for this second opus, but the developers went even further by enriching their world yet. According to official data, we can indeed count on an area of about 70 square kilometers with over 500 quests to be done and a good sixty dungeons to explore. All of which promise of course a lifetime enormous, but starting from the beginning ...
The creation of character is a little disappointing
Like any good hack & slash self-respecting, part of Sacred 2 began with the creation of his character. Alas, we must admit that this side is, Ascaron is a little pale figure with a rather limited customization of our avatar. We have a choice between two facets of the campaign (shadow and light) and, especially, six classes of characters that are quite different from those proposed in Sacred first name (excluding Seraphino of). These choices must of course to address the game so significantly different specializing instead on the fight melee, weapons of distance or magic ... This selection, we opted for a tutelary deity and adventure can begin! Contrary to what one might believe, moreover, it is not here to pick up where we left Sacred first name. The history of Sacred 2 began actually some 2000 years before the first version.
In the world of Ancaria, Energy T occupies a special place.The powerful substance, including the origin of the magic world, is under the control of high elves for centuries, but a real civil war erupted in the noble people. Other races have the opportunity to attempt to take power on Ancaria and what had to happen happened: Energy T out of control and brings chaos to the world. It is in this context at least tormented the players to intervene, perhaps, prevent the Apocalypse to occur. This is more or less county throughout the game, but not be clear now: the scenario of the game is not what we remember most. The increase is quietly, but not really exciting and it is better to see this story as a way of staking our adventure, a simple thread.
