Sacred Citadel: Beat up genetically modified orcs
Some things are simply timeless. Like a well cut suit, Disney songs, or running across a 2D environment slaughtering everything in your path. Deep Silver's new side scrolling brawler, Sacred Citadel, is looking to get a piece of that arcade nostalgia pie. Three heroes -- a shaman, ranger, and warrior -- must join forces and fight off a bunch of super-orcs. I doubt it's particularly important. What is important is that it looks pretty gorgeous, has a variety of deadly weapons, loads of combos and power ups, big boss battles, and a lot of flair. Players can also ride engines of destruction and mounts. Since riding lizards in Golden Axe is one of my fondest arcade memories, I can appreciate this. I can only hope my current co-op binge will last until 2013, when the game is set to launch on Xbox Live, PSN, and PC. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)As long as it doesn't come with a bunch of stupidass DRM including but not limited to SecuRom or GFWL, then count me interested. love me a good brawler, still I hope this will be more Streets of Rage 2 with simplified fighter controls and not the crappy brain dead instant attack button masher with block mapped to a trigger button that is Castle Crashers.

| 2:00 PM on 04.19.2013 Review: Sacred Citadel |

The Sacred series is never going to give Diablo a run for its money, but it's always had its own unique charm. It's a fairly standard dungeon crawler with its own element of silly humor, and that's been enough to earn it a pl...more
