Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Review
The SHORT Version: Sacred 2 has some serious bugs, glitches, and interface issues – but despite all that it provides a fun addicting hack and slash experience. Quest, Loot, Grind, Level, and Fight Massive Bosses with your friends. This game rules at least until Diablo III comes out
The LONG Version:
Sacred 2 is one of those games that’s really fun despite its own attempts to fuck it all up – The problem stems from the interface – you can tell that this game was developed 100% for the PC and then the developers sat in a room afterwards and said okay; How the hell are we going to put this onto a controller without changing the game design?
Its not that its difficult to navigate it just that it take some getting used to. The developers made some odd choices of buttons – like LB to pick up items and RB to pull up your inventory – if you play co-cooperatively, you will accidentally open up the trade dialogue with your partner constantly when looting. And for some reason the developers chose to not have a real “PAUSE” in this game – which leads to a lot of getting youre ass kicked when your taking a bathroom break or busy doing something. Did they honestly expect me to play this game all the way through in one sitting?
The reviews for this game haven’t been stellar so far. Reviewers completely tore the PC game to shreds. We tried our best to stay away from all some of the negative things being said – but damn have they been complaining loud.
Well i’m happy to tell you that except for some guys like the A- review from 1up, the rest of them are wrong.
Sacred 2 is definitely a better game on the console if only because your willing to put up with some of its shortcoming because your sitting on the couch with your buddy having a great time. And really that’s the only way to play Sacred 2 – with friends. Though I strongly recommend playing this game at least 1-2 hours before doing so because it’s going to take you that long to get accustomed to its odd design.
The game does borrow heavily from its big brother Diablo II, essentially you point click kill and loot – or in this case you hold the attack button instead of clicking. (which pissed me off, I wanted to mash buttons to attack).
I am a Loot Whore.
I love beating the crap outta things standing in my way then ripping the coolest items from their lifeless cold bodies!
I can forgive the lackluster plot only because this game takes me to so many damn locations it always feels new to me, Green Plains, forests, volcanic islands, deserts, and swamps. If your looking for epic story its not here.
While you may not get the story elements from some of the more big budget games, what you will get is deep combat which is welcome since that makes up pretty much the entire game. You’ve got a whole bunch of things like direct damage, ranged, area of effect, damage over time, heals and drains, summoning creatures, and all sorts of really cool stuff – not only do you get a massive amount of attack options you can combine them to be executed at the same time! Thats really when the game really gets to the next level.
The developers know their craft, it’s a mindless hack and slasher! With an addictive leveling system. And its got a great sense of oddball humor.
Could it use some more polish? Definitely. But the world is so massive you’ll be playing this forever with your friends or solo. Quest, grind, loot, level, and fight massive bosses….all can be done with your friend sitting next to you on the same screen, drinking beer and eating junk food. This game rules at least until Diablo III comes out.
7/10

GAVIN’S SECOND OPINION
I want to like this game. I really do. It takes me back to the fun of Baulder’s Gate. But I have a hard time accepting this game as it is now. WHY THE HELL DID THEY RELEASE A BROKEN GAME? I lost every attempted character due to corrupt data. Angry Joe and I died on a trap, then respawned on the trap and died again, then respawned outside of the cave on top of each other and froze the game. I killed things off the screen with a bow and arrow while Angry Joe ran in circles being chased. I could not target who I wanted to. The menus are complicated but self explanitory if I cared. I want to run and gun. And let’s talk Epic Rats. We got our asses handed to us by one. A rat. I hate this game as it is now. I want more male characters to choose from. I want a game that works. I dont want Emporer Palpatine to die in the first tavern of the game. Time has not been kind to the guy since his apprentice threw him into the Deathstar’s core. Fix the game and I will love it. I am sure fun times will be had by all.
I rate this broken POS 4 out of 10. A fixed game would rate much, much higher.

Hi! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Many thanks!
Excellent blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!

Good post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every day.
It will always be helpful to read articles from other
writers and use something from their sites.
Hello i am kavin, its my first occasion to commenting anywhere, when i read this article i thought i could also make comment
due to this brilliant post.
I hardly drop remarks, however I browsed through a few comments on this page Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Angry Review | The Angry
Joe Show. I actually do have a couple of questions for
you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or do some of the responses appear as if they are written by brain dead individuals?
😛 And, if you are posting on other sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post.
Would you post a list of every one of your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
No Definitivamente mucho a conocer este tema .
Me gusta todo el que has hecho .
I thought the game was fun to play so I had been waiting for the 3rd, that was going to come out in the fall of 2013 so what happened? Was the game canceled or is it being pushed back too?
the fucks with the censoring
if we have just signed up but I really would appreciate to see a specific letter (Lorelei Lee’s) is there some place i can possibly look at it or obtain a copy somehow?
“That’s an EPIC RAT!” Why did you not throw your holy hand grenade?
For me an RPG NEEDS a good story and Sacred 2 just didnt cut it- couldn’t get invested in it. Same reason I couldn’t get into Dragons Dogma
that sucks the controls suck on console…..
whats worse is when PC games… you cant click on menus, you have to scroll thru it, as its totally made for console…. shit, they cant let you click around.. some games i forget which…. those assholes haha
aw man ur bringing it down for a big manual?
…
me and my buddy were saying how like, WTF .. call of duty has like 2 pieces of paper manual… for such a big budget game… couldnt they make a list of all the guns and perks and killstreaks and stuff…. its asthetics really, but come on it looks pathetic to have a game with barely any info in a manual…
like look at the original zelda.. lists all the enemies and stuff, you know.
i mean they are getting lazy with the game, with call of duty at least.
Usually I do not read article on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do so! Your writing style has been surprised me. Thanks, very nice article.

Thank you for your whole effort on this site. My niece enjoys setting aside time for research and it’s really simple to grasp why. My partner and i notice all of the dynamic manner you make reliable guidance by means of this web blog and as well as attract participation from the others on the article and our girl is certainly starting to learn so much. Take advantage of the rest of the new year. You are doing a really good job.
Aww, it’s such a shame you didn’t mention the in-game Blind Guardian concert 🙂 That alone makes it worth buying the game ^^
It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I want to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article. I want to read even more things about it!
I wish to voice my gratitude for your kindness supporting those people who really need help on this situation. Your real commitment to getting the solution all over turned out to be pretty interesting and have surely made workers like me to realize their pursuits. Your own valuable recommendations indicates much to me and substantially more to my colleagues. Thanks a ton; from everyone of us.
what a wonderful way to start blogging
Grreat Review of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel! This is my fav game!!!! Bookmarked!
Angryjoe you are wasting our time and yours as well playing European games on console. Can’t you just make one 10 second review and call it; “European games on console SUCK. (Now I don’t know maybe there is a good European console game out there that has been original made for the PC but for the love of simplicity let me remain ignorant)
First I read your review on Risen am completely confused. Horrible graphics? Bad combat system? Tons of glitches? The opposite of those are some of the things I liked about that game. The console must have really ruined that. Although if know that if I did not play Gothic I would probably not like Risen as much as I did. And you are 100% right that the game company should have put more work into the game. Always felt it was missing something. But I my point is that it sucked on the console.
Now Sacred II. Most of the problems you mention are again because the console version sucks.
Following my logic the Witcher 2 will suck on console. Possibly even if it comes out on console first. Lets wait and see, eh?
Long story short, fuck European RPGs on the console. I am a pissy. (PC)
Welcome to the world of PC gamers…. this has been converted from PC to console- around 1% of games are converted from PC to console. PC games are converted from console – around 90% of PC games are converted from console to PC . PC gamers get dumbed down, shallow, badly optimized converted games all the time and console owners don’t give a damn and don;t give PC gamers any support – so I am laughing at all the people who bought this game on console and saying ‘serve you right for not caring about us PC gamers that go through the same thing 10 times more!
Just saw the review which you gave a 7, but your site says a 5.. am I going crazy?
Nice blog. Thank you!

Actually you can fight a dragon in Fable The lost Chapters (Extended version of Fable) bst to find it on Ebay if your interested. By the way your one of the best reviewers I’ve seen on the internet, keep it up!
Lots of good information there. Thanks for sharing that. Can’t wait till the game comes out. There are similar discussions going on, if ya wanna discuss some things about the upcoming Diablo 3 beta check the diablo 3 forums at http://www.d3owned.com
Hi guys!
Two things:
The Developer (a german studio) went bankrupt after the game.
And
The live band ingame (at the end of the Review) is called “Blind Guardian” and is one of the most popular Fantasy-Metal-Bands. They recorded a whole album based an The Silmarillion called “Nightfall in Middle-Earth”! Check it out!
Maybe a third thing… Great Review Angry Jose. As usual!
I honey your articles very often because they are written in an understandable coherent. So I can learn them although I come from Austria and have any problems to understand English stories.
I honey your articles really much because they are spelled in an understandable coherent. So I can study them although I come from Germany and have any troubles to interpret English articles.
well im will be playing coop with my freind and we are laughing our asses off we love to kill things on solo but coop sounds outstanding so my mom os buying a xbox live card so we can coop
