    SpellForce 3 Review: A Beautiful Combination

    SpellForce is a long running series that was first released in 2003. It melds both RTS and RPG into one game creating a hybrid that interestingly works quite well. With the release of SpellForce 3 it continues to build on those ideals and advance an already impressive series with multiple additions. During my playthrough it reminded me of my time with Baldur's Gate or Divinity while also including elements of Warcraft; keeping me interested until the bitter end.

    SpellForce 3 takes place around 500 years before the Convocation in Eo (the world of SpellForce). This event was caused by the Circle Mages that consisted of 13 power hungry wizards and sorcerers. The game itself is a prequel to SpellForce: The Order of the Dawn and plops you into the daughter/son of a rebel mage named Isamo Tahar, a charismatic man who turns against Queen Ayelith to gain overwhelming power. Through General Sentenza Noria's command the character you control is saved from execution. You then join the Royal Army in hopes to atone for your fathers sins. The story thus far has been entertaining throughout my playthrough, but the characters you encounter are less than interesting and typically bland.
    [...]

    The Verdict
    SpellForce 3 houses some interesting ideas and executes some of them quite well. However, the characters didn't quite catch my attention and I was more than a little frustrated with some of the bugs. Nevertheless, my journey through Eo was an enjoyable one.

    Score: 8 - Great

    The Good
    • Beautiful Landscapes
    • Complex Combat
    • Fascinating Combination of RPG/RTS
    • Loads of Skill Customization
    The Bad
    • Less Than Fantastic Voice Acting
    • Multiple Bugs
    • Uninteresting Characters
