"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. That game is still being developed, and we'll have more news about both Sacred Citadel and Sacred 3 relatively soon." "Sacred Citadel, a downloadable title developed by Southend Interactive, is a co-op side-scrolling brawler set in the world of Ancaria. Sacred Citadel is not Sacred 3. Looks sort of fun, right? Now then, here's the official word from Sacred HQ: I am, in that respect, an incredibly versatile human being. But I'm up for hacking and slashing from a side view as well as a top-down one. Honestly, though, it doesn't look half-bad. As a prelude to the in-development Sacred 3, then, it's a bit of an odd choice. That's because it's a self-described "co-op side-scrolling brawler set in the world of Ancaria," which is quite the far cry from the Sacred series Diablo-ish ARPG lineage. If it was, the entire planet would be rent asunder by a volcanic eruption of enraged fans that'd spew out into the streets and converge on developer Southend Interactive's offices. Sacred: Citadel is scheduled for releaese on Xbox 360 (via XBLA), PlayStation 3 (via PSN) and Windows PC (via Steam) in 2013.First up, a disclaimer: Sacred Citadel is not Sacred 3. In addition to an array of ranged attacks and the ability to dual-wield melee weapons, the Ancarian Ranger also carries a “trap-box” and is able to lay down all manner of deadly contraptions with which to disable his foes. The Ancarian Ranger silently draws his bow, takes aim and rapidly launches his shots against these winged enemies, taking them down quickly. The fluttering wings of these insects creates a terrible noise on the battleground. The Khukuri Shaman cannot evade this attack and gets hit by one of the spikes, flung by one the beasts. That lasts until a group of fierce flying beasts swoop down on our three heroes from the high cliffs. While the action is moving back and forth on the battlefield, no side seems to get the upper hand. The Ranger is, unsurprisingy, a ranged class, and the press release gives this account of his battle prowess: The Khukri Shaman and Safiri Warrior have already been revealed, and the Ancarian Ranger now joins them – with the fourth and final protagonist yet to be announced. Deep Silver and Southend Interactive have revealed details about the third of four playable characters in upcoming side-scrolling hack ‘n’ slash Sacred: Citadel.Ī side-story to Sacred 3 (currently in development for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3), Sacred: Citadel retains some of the series’ RPG sensibilities but transplants the action onto a 2D plain.
