The story is where this game really shines. You portray an alien wizard who escapes his ruined dimension to a new, even weirder one. Five gods rule this new world. Noble Persephone is the goddess of life, simple James controls the Earth, bombastic Pyro controls fire, wicked Charnel rules destruction and death, and the haughty Stratos (voiced by Tim Curry) is master of air. They bicker and fight throughout. It's your choice whom to serve before each mission. In addition, each mission you complete bestows upon you some of their unique powers and monsters. Because the campaign is dependent upon which god you serve and when, you'll end up with vastly different power combinations each time you play.
The game plays like Activision's Battlezone remake from a while back. It's played like an action game--you can see from behind the shoulder of your wizard character--yet it has Command & Conquer-style real-time strategy components. You have to harvest souls from fallen enemies and troops, summon and control your own army of fascinating monsters, and control the magical resources known as Mana Fountains. The game is daunting and the action may be too frantic for some, but all its components are detailed in an impressive tutorial and tips are scattered throughout the game.
Add instant action play, a host of maps, a complete game editor (ensuring fan- created levels will flood the Internet soon), and a stable multiplayer component, and you'll find unlimited value in the game. Sacrifice is more than just a quirky new PC game, it's a bona fide classic. --Bob Andrews

A Fun game despite the bugs.
I found this game to be quite enthralling, and when I first played it I was using OS 9.2 on my G4 466. That's when I found the first bug, the game uses cutting edge techniques to get enough preformance (mainly with memory management). The game would only run in 9 with 512mb or less.
I removed some memory to get down to the system requirements, dispite some bugs I got through to the last level a couple times (it was too tough for me, and I just plain enjoyed exploring the other sides of the story).
Since then I have upgraded to OS X full time, and upgraded to a Radion 8500. The system seems to crash a whole lot now, though it is predictable. Most often while desicrating an alter while having too many units in the area. I really don't know if this is the cause, but by pulling back all extra units I have been able to get past many 'crashy' spots.
With all of the trouble that I've had with this game I still wake up and play it first thing in the morning and think about it constantly. I feel that it was worth it even if an incompleat product - you should keep this in mind however before you purchase!
I eagerily await a new computer that MAY play this better (it's possible that something that I upgraded is conflicting, or a I may have a memory chip that isn't up to par for the game...)

Also I'm now running the latest ATI driver, and the most current Sacrifice update.
