FileFront Forums - Inspirated by Vittavat180983: A Dutch Sacrifice Review...

Ok Idolater here is your review.

Dave Perry showed us all his tricks with Messiah but now is it a bullseye. His new RTS wil change this genre for ever.

Unique.
The most strategy games have something of eachn othere, makes some tanks and let them fight for a expensive mineral, and there is your game. "Sacrifice" has this too, but in another way. Sacrifce is like Myth because the camera is the same and you aren't doing anything really on resoucre management. Sacrifce also has something of Populous (Bullfrog) because you're going with spells and creature's in the batle. But rthat's all Sacrafice has from other game's, the batlefield is unique, its a thing on itself. (The next part is also in your review in the dutch 1) The creatures are so rarely created, that you'll ask yourself how many pills the creators took by making this game.

Mana
As in every magic world mana is one of the most inportant things. (This is notentirely true for Sacrafice, I corrected some parts in this review that wre wrong) At the start, you'll choose a wizard, and then you'll choose wich god you'll serve. All the gods have diffrent spells and creatures. But you must travel with your creatures to find and win a batle. The levels are huge and then we mean huge! You must batle against wizards of other tribes, they have other creatures and spells. Now comes the important part oif Sacrifice, souls. At first you have your altar. At your altar you can sacrifice souls that you'll aquire by killing your enemies. With souls you can summon new creatures and can kill MORE enemys to gain MORE souls. The gods are :

Pyro the god of fire ( PU said: A big fat ** with hairt that is continbuosly on fire.)
Pesephone: the god of life ( A mystrious babe)
Stratos, god of air ( A airboitle with a ballon as head.)
James, god of earth (Earth worm Jim)
and Charnel, god of strife (Wrong French accent)

Serve anyone
Depending on the god you choose, you'll get diffrent spells and creatures. The god's and goddes will try to "taunt" you in her/his service. Every gods creature look diffrent. Pyro's creature look like burning coals and James's creatures look like rocks. If you completed the game you can at least play the game 4 more times.

Controls
The controls are very effcient, using only the mouse and the least aamount of keys. You can give the most commands with your mouse, like defend and some formation. The wizards movements are triggered with the wsad- keys.
It takes a while before you have the contols under your control.

Graphics!
The graphics of sacrifice are FANTASTIC! IN 800x600 is the world beatifu. We're not even talking about 1280x1024 in 32bit color. A Geforce is a must! Valleys and mountains, almost ANYTHING! This is also true about the spell efects. Walls of screaming heads, volcanoes, whirlwinds and thunder storms. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Voices
THe voices are something extrodianary .
If yuo click on a creature, you'll expect the creature to give a war cry! Nothing is true! You'll hear a Proper English voice!
Soe creatures have high voices, while others have low voices. One word: RESPECT.

+Superb Graphics
+Big batles
+Best magic ever
