The high level of attention needed to manage its frenetic combat was mentioned as a flaw. Sacrifice was praised by reviewers for the novel designs of its creatures and for its humorous content. Complementing the graphics of the game were the voice work of professional actors, such as Tim Curry, and the musical compositions of Kevin Manthei. By adjusting the required level of detail, Sacrifice can be run on various machines with the highest possible quality of graphics. The graphic engine of the game uses tesselation: thousands of polygons are used to display an object and as lesser details are needed, the number of polygons is reduced. Sacrifice was created by a small team of developers most of the work was done by four key personnel. Aside from a single-player campaign, Sacrifice offers a multiplayer mode, in which up to four players can play against each other over computer networks. To defeat an opponent, the player's wizard sacrifices a friendly unit at the opposing wizard's altar, thereby desecrating it and banishing the enemy wizard. Players customize their attacks by choosing from spells and creatures aligned to five gods. There is no system of workers the players' wizards collect souls to summon creatures, and their mana-energy for casting spells-constantly regenerates. Unlike many of its contemporary real-time strategy games, Sacrifice places little emphasis on resource gathering and management.
