New Review for an Older Game
921269
With Sacred 2 now gracing shelves, there may be some of you out there wondering about this, the first game in the series.  Sacred is still one of my favorite games of the Action RPG genre.  The game can be a bit 'buggy' at times, but the characters are quirky and the world is both huge and intriguing.

Since there have been many great reviews regarding the overall experience of this game, I will only point out two things for the would-be buyer.

1 - Yes, this game will run on Windows Vista 32 bit only, but NOT on 64 bit.
2 - In order to run the game on Windows Vista, the latest patch will be required to fix one error that prevents the game starting.  However, this patch can be rather difficult to find because the game is old. (Even the manufacturer's website does not make it easy.) Search for "Sacred v1.8.26 patch" to find a reliable and safe source for this update.

Hi good afternoon. Currently I have problems with the game, showing a 150-1031 mistake, a defect with the other games I have no problems. For this case, which I will return the money or I can post another game. In the picture, you can see the evidence.

My son has played it before and loves it. That is why we tried to purchase it even though it is an older game. Still lots of fun to play.

Bought it from "onlinedrivein" and he won't replace it or contact us, so now we will try and buy it again from another source.

I'm so happy this came out with a new version. I loved this game in the early 90's and now get to play it with my kids. The new cards make a more interesting game. I don't think there's anything that can't be countered now and the new weapons align with the regular game. Just a incredibly simple and entertaining game

This is a very well regarded game from last generation and I am glad to get a remastered version to try out. I am happy that I received the steel book 1st print edition today (06/19/2016).

If you're like me and have played all of the versions leading up to this one you'll like the new version.  It can get to be quite complex if you let it.  Have been playing one game almost a month now.

The game works as if brand new and I am happy the even re-invented the game as Old & New so you wouldn't have to choose or purchase two separate games!!! I love this and I am very happy to have made this purchase I still like the OLD version much better :)

The game works great. Absolutely no problems so far (purchased March 1). I would definitely recommend this game to anybody who wants this older game at a cheaper price.

Is another game I played years ago and liked, but because I have a new computer graphics were a little disappointing. You probably not the game fault. But dealing with the seller was a good experience and would definitely do it again.

This is an old set of the HeroClix game, one of the first sets actually. As such, the rules and certain other aspects are outdated. It's still useable, and perfectly capable of holding its own against more modern sets, but those familiar with the more modern sets will notice a few areas lacking.
As for this particular order, it looks like mine has water damage, but I'm not sure if that was a problem with shipping or storage at the shipping site.

Amazing game. Sure its a little old, but its awesome. The multiplayer is best done on Gameranger, or if there are other ones I'd love to hear.

I like the revisions they made from the first edition. It was a good game before, but now its even better.

This IS old software BUT it can be used with most newer systems...  The color settings are easily adjusted in the control panel.  The game operates normally on older systems and in Windows compatibility mode on newer systems.

So this averages out the other review to closer to what it likely is.

This is a new version. Not like the old version. It only has 3 pieces to go around the board instead fo the tradional game that has 4. It has weird new rules and cards that did not make much sense.  I would not purchase again but would seek for the older version. It is more fun.

I owned this game under the Fantasy Flight tag a few years ago but sold it. Having regretted that decision, I bought this new version under the 1A games tag.

This new version plays just like the old version with several improvements. First, it comes in a smaller box which is more storage friendly. The first edition under Fantasy Flight games came in what was usually referred to as the "coffin box" and was the largest game box i ever owned.

Second, the rules have been clarified and reformatted to allow a programmed learning so you don't bite off more than you can chew. This game is quite a bit heavier than say, Axis and Allies or Memoir 44, so the programmed learning is great. My 10 year old son and I were playing our first game within minutes.

The third change is the addition of some new pieces that weren't present in the first addition such as the M10 tank destroyer, german self propelled guns and specialization tokens that were only available in previous expansions.

The only knock I have against the game is the molding for some of the vehicles. They're decent, not bad enough for me to knock off a star, mostly because I knew from the previous game I owned. If you're a hard core miniature gamer, you might be a bit disappointed. I'd compare the quality better than Memoir, about the same as Axis and Allies.

All of the other components are superior to most other games I have. The artwork on the map boards are outstanding. All cardstock components are heavy, durable and have a nice linen finish to them. The card decks are very nice as well.

Overall, if you're looking for a squad level game, like Avalon Hill's classic, Squad Leader, but more approachable and visually appealing this is your game. 1A games did a great job of carrying on the Tide of Iron series and negated my regret of selling my old version. This latest version is definitely new and improved.
