Cooperative hack-and-slash action comes to consoles next week with Ascaron's Diablo-esque title Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. For those interested in the prospect, the console versions of the fantasy game's multiplayer mode support up to four players online and two offline.

Sacred 2 is already out on PC, with a free demo to try. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions ship May 12.

    Has anyone played this on PC? Is it any good?

      I'm playing it right now and I quite enjoy it. I'd seen a few reviews placing it around the 70's (which really isn't bad out of 100%) but I'd tag it around 80-88% so far. It's got a good set of features, I've not noticed any glaring bugs (or bugs in general, so far) and it has some interesting character development choices to be made. I'm also liking the character archetypes to choose from. I like it a bit more than Titan Quest, if that's saying anything. Oh and it's fairly funny, to boot.

      This could be a LOT of fun on the 360.

      Its the best thing ARPG on market right now. Period.

      6 classes, most of them are hybrid, means you can spec into 3 different skill trees for further customisation.

      None of that usual barbarian, mage, ranger crap.

      Heck, you can have a Shadow Warrior, and make him a melee-centered necromancer, so you can summon skeletons while tanking everything.

      There are 3 unique mounts per character. 6 unique armor sets for each class. Highest level - 225. 5 difficulty levels.

      The game map is also massive. Surface world is 22 square miles, not to mention numerous dungeons. There are 2 campaigns, Shadow and Light, and you can be either one, a bad guy or a good guy. Plus there are 6 gods to choose from that grant you various powers and benefits.

      The game looks stunning on a high end PC system, especially with PhysX effects.

      And there's NO MANA, so it doesn't feel like another Diablo clone. And you can combine spells into combos, up to 4 spells per combo, so your caster can string like 4 massive AOE spells into one devastating combo.

      I can go on and on. The game rocks. It is quite possibly better than Diablo 3.

      There's 4 player co-op. You can store loot you find for other classes in your chest, and your other characters can access that stuff the same way. You can sell items on the fly at reduced selling price, so no more trips to the vendors to sell off your stuff.

      There's more than 800 quests. Plus you can skip the main storyline and just walk around the place. There's no loading screens, no nothing. THe whole map is accessible to you from the get-go.
