It's used for opening chests, talking to NPCs, picking up loot and even trading treasures among party members in co-op mode. With the face buttons taken up by spells and weapons, that leaves the left bumper as the main action button.
Tapping one of these in battle will swing a weapon or use a spell, depending on your setup, and holding the right trigger gives you access to another bank of slots. Then you can open spells and map them to your controller's face buttons. If you want to tweak your spells, for example, you'd hold down the right bumper, choose combat arts and browse the four categories (which are relative to your character class). My High Elf, Elf Girl, picked a light path (c'mon, she's an elf) and chose to worship Kybele because she thought it would look good on her driver's license.Ĭhoose one of the above and it pulls you into a menu that you can drill down into further. Once you pick your class, you must pick a dark or light path and then choose which deity you will worship. Whether you choose a High Elf, Temple Guardian, Seraphim, Dryad, Shadow Warrior or Inquisitor determines what weapons, spells, mounts and equipment you'll be able to use in your adventures. There are six character classes to choose from, and each comes with his or her special attributes and abilities, in true RPG fashion. The action takes place from a third-person perspective that allows you to zoom in close for an over-the-shoulder view or far in the air for a top-down look. If you've played games like Diablo or Too Human, you'll get the idea. Sacred 2 is all about exploring the gigantic game world (we're told it's 22 square miles) and collecting the myriad loot that falls from the cold, dead hands of your vanquished enemies. But from what I've played of the alpha-level preview so far, it's clear that Ascaron has retained the hardcore PC vibe of its predecessor.
The console version of Sacred 2 is still very much a work in progress, and there's still a lot developer Ascaron will need to take care of before the game launches for Xbox 360 on March 24.
