Sacrifice 2000

Is it still worth playing?

Shiny Entertainment's 2000 real time strategy game for Windows, with elements of action, in which wizards fight each other with spells and summoned creatures. You view your wizard from behind, on the field, directing armies and casting spells. There are no workers. Creatures are summoned with souls, which are limited, so unclaimed ones have to be found, and mana regenerates constantly, faster near your altar. With mana come spells that harm opponents, heal damage or summon creatures, and the most advanced take the form of tornadoes and volcanoes. A match starts with a wizard and an altar, and you win by desecrating an opponent's altar through the sacrifice of a friendly unit. A strategy game where you are the wizard on the field still puts you in the middle of every fight today.
