About ReBorn mod

ReBorn is a global balance patch-modification for Sacred, developed and released by the OverLookers clan on July 29, 2018. The mod includes many balanced changes, adds new mechanics and fixes some bugs.

For the first time in Sacred's history, ReBorn added HD resolution!

ReBorn mod has the following goals:

1. Improve and develop game balance, mechanics and gameplay.

2. Increase difficulty, but, unlike other mods, save possibility to complete game from scratch without cheats and using bugs (proved in the stream-series “from 0 to 216”).

3. Accelerate the leveling of the character, making reaching 216 level more accessible.

4. Correction of bugs and shortcomings of the game.

The main idea of ​​ReBorn is an emphasis on the mechanics of different types of damage and resistance. We believe that this is a key feature of the game (why do we still need 5 weapon slots, if not for different types of damage?), But in the original Sacred this mechanics has little effect and can be ignored.

In this regard, in ReBorn, almost all big bosses received extremely high resistance to one or more types of damage, so the player forced to use different types of damage and will not be able to use, for example, only poison. Abilities of the characters were also refined so that the player did not find himself in a situation where the required type of damage was not available to him.

ReBorn mod is optional and starts with a separate "exe". This means that all changes, including character changes, work only when the mod launched – you can always return to the original Sacred with the same character without any problems! You can transfer from modifications to the original (and vice versa) only items and under certain conditions.

ReBorn is not just a mod, it is a new word in modifying Sacred and a colossal work done. There are no official editors for Sacred, source code is not available, and unofficial fan editors are very limited, which makes modifying Sacred extremely difficult, so without special skills you can only change textures. Proof of this is the fact that ReBorn is the first mod with such extensive and elaborate balance changes, and the third existing balance mod at all (before were the Veteran made in 2009-2010 and the mod from DarkBloods made in 2011).
