Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Multiplayer Preview

CDV unleashes the sequel to their original Diablo-killer. Multiplayer impressions inside.

By Andrew Sztein, GamingExcellence

 

 

June 12, 2008 - At a CDV press event in San Francisco California, CDV Software was gracious enough to take us through the latest Sacred 2 build, including a detailed run through on the multiplayer aspects of this anticipated title.

 

For those who missed our single player preview, Sacred 2 is a Diablo style hack and slash RPG with a heavy emphasis on magic spells, differentiated character classes, and collecting rare loot to make your character more powerful.

 

The multiplayer aspects of the game tie directly into the single player mode in several ways. First, no matter which mode you choose, the game is played on the same enormous world map. Mario Kroll of CDV informed us that the map covers “22 square miles of varied terrain and will take six hours to walk from one corner of the map to the other.” Across the map are unique regions such as the northern Seraphim Island (a volcanic wasteland filled with tough enemies), a high elf region with a Mediterranean type climate, a human region similar to medieval England, and the expected desserts, marshlands, orc and troll regions, and tropical areas. Unlike Diablo, the map is not randomly generated, giving the game a hand-crafted feel that is more detailed and lush than any hack and slash title to date. Perhaps best of all, the game world is completely seamless, with nary a load time after the initial game load.

 

Whether playing single player or multiplayer, players will be using the same character is either mode, which is great for players looking for a little help on a particularly difficult quest or those who intend to play exclusively with friends.

I hear you about the opened tabs. Welcome to my world Monster, it's too bad about having whole articles here. For Copy rights, we're supposed to only bring in a part of the article, while having readers read the better portion of it on the original site.

Sorry about the tabs.
