Sacrifice is a real-time strategy game published in the year 2000. Players control wizards that are able to cast spells and conjure armies of creatures using magical energy known as mana. The objective of the game is to desecrate the enemy's altar.
The campaign of Sacrifice follows the story of a vagrant wizard known as Eldred. Upon arriving in the ethereal realm, five Gods – Persephone, James, Stratos, Pyro and Charnel – offer him a home, but Eldred must settle with only one.
Early on in the campaign, the Gods hear a prophecy that foretells their destruction by a traitor amongst them - a traitor that only a wanderer will defeat. As a result of this, the Gods' once harmless bickering transforms into all-out warfare, and Eldred must pick a side.
Sacrifice was praised by many gaming critics for its impressive graphics, audio and story. IGN considered Sacrifice the best strategy game of 2000. The European Computer Trade Show dubbed it the Best PC Game in its show. It was also one of PC Gamer Magazine's Top 100 Games for eight consecutive years.
Despite its notable qualities, Sacrifice did not fare well in the market due to poor marketing and unfortunate time release.
