Ryanrocker 200 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hey there guys, just some little pics I took from the teaser trailer of Sacred Citadel that will hopefully get us excited about this next game! I know I am ready to rock with these new characters, how about you guys? Safiri Warrior Khukuri Shaman Ancarian Ranger Mounts Deep Silver just announced Sacred Citadel, a standalone single-player and co-op title set in the world of Sacred. The developers have described this one as the prologue to Sacred 3. Expect, the third installment in the Sacred series sometime next year. "The events in Sacred Citadel will act as a prologue to the next chapter of the Sacred story and will unveil an intriguing secret about the Seraphim that will directly relate to the action RPG Sacred 3, currently in development by keen games and to be released in 2013." The official word is as follows: Three warriors unite against an evil that threatens to enslave the once peaceful world of Ancaria. Lord Zane's Ashen Empire has created an army of Grimmocs, modified Orc henchmen at war with the Seraphim. Only when these heroes unite and use their skills to support each other they will stand a chance! Deep Silver today announced the side-scrolling action brawler Sacred Citadel, a new standalone title that is set in the rich universe of Sacred. Sacred Citadel will reinvent the familiar arcade feel of classic brawlers while setting a new standard for the future of side scrolling hack and slash games. There are several playable character classes, such as the Safiri Warrior, the Ancarian Ranger and the Khukuri Shaman, each with a different skill set that can be further individualized through RPG features and collectible items. Each character will also have the ability to dual-wield two exchangeable weapons, use combo attacks and perform double jumps. All of which combines into a fluid and unique arcade game experience with sophisticated graphics and spectacular effects. The player will also be able to ride mounts, use war machines and spend his hard earned cash in towns all over the world of Sacred Citadel. Sacred Citadel will also offer an engrossing multiplayer mode: as up to three players can join forces against their enemies in seamless drop-in/drop-out coop mode. The events in Sacred Citadel will act as a prologue to the next chapter of the Sacred story and will unveil an intriguing secret about the Seraphim that will directly relate to the action RPG Sacred 3, currently in development by keen games and to be released in 2013. Sacred Citadel will be out in 2013 as a digital download title for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system through PLAYSTATION Network, through Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and through Steam and other ESD partners.

gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Firstly Ryan, thank you!. You've spent a lot of time on this for the community, and have showcased the three new rising stars for Sacred! You know, when I first saw/heard the trailer, I was surprised hurt angry scared! Then, after we heard that the portal is what sacred-world is about where they will start their first two dalliances with the franchise... Sacred Citadel and Sacred 3...I sat down and got to look at this trailer with a new-found satisfaction coming from my need for Sacred 3 sated with Deep Silver's Release date of 2013. The trailer is good. It's the best trailer to come for this series, as I've kind of always thought the stuff done by Ascaron was... *cough* cheesey *ducks* This trailer has some very polished game-play, and the music is great. It's been a loooooooong time since I've done platform, and something like this with multi character, tons of beautiful physics... who doesn't like the archer shooting up the enemiy into the air like a juggling ball to pieces before it;'s destroyed... little things like this all add up to a great "feel" for a game. I am wondering whether by calling this a prologue...does it mean that the ranger, khukiri and Saffiri will star in Sacred 3? In fact, you know... I wonder...is this a kind of Diablo 3 with a variation? I mean lots of kills, multi play, perhaps not as many quests and tons of powerups... Maybe this game will have the fun factor that Diablo 3 was missing with it's huge need for Auction House? gogo Link to comment

birne 9 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Gamasutra has just released an interesting piece on Southend Interactive and Citadel: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/176502/Never_doing_the_same_genre_twice_with_Southend_Interactive.php Edited August 27, 2012 by birne Link to comment
Steerpike1 53 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah, it might be easy to dislike Sacred Citadel as a concept, but they really are putting the work in. I love the concept art so far. I wonder if any of the characters will carry on into S3? Link to comment
Etherian 76 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Big Ugly looks insane & ready to die! I remain, Link to comment
czevak 57 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I wonder if any of the characters will carry on into S3? Definitive yes on that one. Link to comment
TornadoX1 46 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Steam get the release date: http://store.steampowered.com/app/207930/?l=english Not my game, but looks like fun. Link to comment
Mystix123 60 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 That's encouraging news. I've been waiting for this on consoles for a while, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long for it. It'll be something for my cousin and I to play alongside Sacred 2...possibly replacing GTA4. Link to comment
Ryanrocker 200 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Preordered the game today! Can't wait for release 1 Link to comment
Dobri 55 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hmmm... I kinda like it, but to me it looks like Sacred - Cadillacs & Dinosaurs - only with better graphics and some cool-looking spells and abilities. Might still be fun though. 1 Link to comment
ShadowBlade747 2 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Gotta wait another year for the next Sacred installment? Damnit xD At any rate I may purchase this game. Even if its a side scroller I played Castle Crashers and found it entertaining. Still I'm none to happy about the year wait :L Link to comment
Mystix123 60 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Console players rejoice: Citadel will be out on the 17th also. Also, the "Seraphim Mage" has been revealed as the final class! Maurice is answering questions via Sacred World and Playstation Blog today also.

Ryanrocker 200 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Awesome, great to finally see the final character! From the videos I got that she was some sort of battlemage (sword and magic), but that PS Blog makes it seem like its just an offensive mage? Then what does the shaman come under? Defensive mage? Link to comment
Mystix123 60 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Correction to my original post: PS3 gets it on April 16th, then April 17th for PC and 360. That seems to be it Ryan. Seraphim is the offensive mage, while the Shaman is a buffing/debuffing mage (with some healing abilities). Edit: It could be because I've been watching some Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 tournament matches lately, but does the Seraphim remind you a little bit of Storm (from X-men)?
