Overall, Sacred is one of the better action RPGs to come along in a while. There's a massive amount of depth, and the number of characters provides a lot of replayability. It also presents some interesting ideas that could be the potential direction the genre could go in. The somewhat clumsy combat schemes and ignorable plot are the two largest things that hold Sacred back, along with the instability issues.

Sacred is in some ways definitely a deeper RPG than Dungeon Siege or Diablo, since it's less linear and quests are more frequent and varied, but its gameplay isn't as polished as in those games. Sacred is a welcome addition to the genre that distinguishes itself by incorporating a few novel gameplay tweaks. However, the game's success is ultimately limited by an unrewarding character development system and by combat that is too frequently tedious rather than engaging.
