What it is
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel is a role-playing game set in Ancaria, a fantasy world threatened by a spreading energy that brings mutation and terror. The conflict between Light and Shadow shapes the campaign, where players can follow either side. The listed Gold Edition includes Fallen Angel and the Ice & Blood add-on. That add-on expands the world with two regions, a playable character, and additional items, enemies, weapons, and missions. Character development lets you configure one of seven characters, while quests, weapons, and armor give plenty to pursue across the world and its dungeons. A carrier imp can be called to carry collected treasures, and players can ride a mount into battle. Sacred 2 is developed by Ascaron and published by THQ Nordic. It is listed for Windows and PlayStation 3, with Steam features including single-player and Family Sharing; the Steam platform listing is Windows.
