Great improvements to a great game!

Thank you for the free upgrade to the reforced edition! I have not been able to transfer my original save game over of 10+ hours playtime, which would have been nice. However, this forced me to start a new game; which already within 6 hours the improvements are evident. For example, loot drops are much more balanced and plentiful, especially for the goblin meat needed for one of the side quests. Also, the RTS elements are less of a chore, as previously it was such as grind to complete these. I will not list all the positives, as there are many other reviews that do a great job of this. Although, I will summarise that the lore is interesting, scenery is beautiful and the characters have enough depth to keep you engaged in the plot. The only negative that I have is the back tracking to areas previously completed. However, there is enough of a change on re-visiting these to not make this feel too much like a do-over. Lastly, I've not played Spellforce 2 but I have played the original 'Spellforce Platinum Editon' for a number of hours and this is by far better in every aspect. If you want a game that is entertaining with an interesting story, this is well worth a purchase.

Ein gutes Prequel

Ich hatte mir mit dem Kauf dieses Spiels viel Zeit gelassen, weil ich damals die Demo gespielt habe und ein wenig enttäuscht war. Als es nun mal wieder im Sale war, habe ich dann doch zugeschlagen. Und jetzt, 60 Stunden später, bereue ich schon fast, es nicht eher gekauft zu haben. Zwar finde ich den ersten Teil immer noch besser (vor allem wegen der Quests und der Story), aber dennoch hat mich das Spiel die gesamte Kampagne hindurch gut unterhalten. Gerade die sehr simplen Mechaniken, sowohl im RPG-, als auch im RTS-Bereich haben Spellforce schon immer ausgemacht. Und in die gleiche Kerbe haut auch Spellforce 3. Das bedeutet, wer ein Spiel sucht, das ihm strategisches Können abverlangt, ist hier falsch. Aber wer Spellforce 1 mochte, wird auch hieran seinen Spaß haben. Nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil man hier die Vorgeschichte spielt und "die Entdeckung des Allfeuers" (mit der laut SF1-Intro alles begann) und die Bildung des Zirkels quasi miterlebt.

Most polished entry, not as enjoyable

The game fixes most of the stuff that was wrong with previous entries, zone maps, custom keybinds, even radial menus to make the usage of skills more comfortable than ever. why am I not having fun with this game then? I think it boils down that it moves away from the hero focused gameplay to the zerging tactics of RTS, you have to build and churn out units as fast as possible to overwhelm the enemy before they do the same to you, your heoes are paperthin weak and no longer can tank 8 enemies by themselves. I feel the game has moved too far into RTS territory for my enjoyment. If you like RTS games you will surely love it, but there are better action RPGs for me out there.

A worthy successor!

A little disclaimer beforehand: I played all the Spellforce games in succession over the last months so I have the timeline burned into my brain. Someone who did not play all these games beforehand with the same fondness for the series like me will have a vastly different view on this. First and foremost - This game oozes fan service for fans of the games and it fills in a lot of the stuff from the previous games, since SF3 and its Addons play before the first two games. It was just so great to play with circle mages in your party, while exploring the very nice and pretty world. Grimlore now are the masters of world building to me! Everything looks timeless and pristine. Some maps remind me of those model train courses or dioramas of small landscapes. This game world is so screenshotworthy. On top of that, even if you did not play the previous games you get a campaign in the veigns of Warcraft 3. Of course not these massive CGI trailers, but the dialogues and the engaging characters with all their intrigues are just remarkable for a AA production. It feels really polished at this point. The RTS gameplay might seem a little bit shallow to fans of Age of Empires or Starcraft, but it did its job well enough. I was in it for the campaign and played it on normal difficulty. So I have no clue if this is an indicator for people who prefer a bigger challenge in their RTSes, but to me it was serviceable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this to people who wished for a story driven RTS.

Fun, beautiful and imperfect mix RTS/RPG

Disclaimer: this review is based on SINGLE PLAYER (~50h played). Pros: - Absolutely beautiful: each map is crafted with an artistic eye and attention to detail. It's a joy to explore the world; - Controls: while there can be a lot going on at times (controlling an army, an RTS base and a group of heroes), the game does a great job of providing shortcuts to function effectively in real time, and even those who do not wnat to learn a bunch of hotkeys will be able to play; - Interesting characters: the NPCs are believable, and interecting with them doesn't feel like a chore; - Fun to spend time with casually: the campain is never challenging (at least, not to seasoned RTS players); rather, it allows you to explore the world (wich is the best part of the game, anyhow) and achieve objetives at your own pace. Cons: - Loading screens, and quite a few: acessing each map is preceded by a loading screen, and the game often expects the player to traverse several in a row (i.e., when no active RTS base is controlled). You may be required, for example, to go from an RTS map to the world map (short loading screen), then to your main base (long-ish loading screen), then to a building (short loading screen), then to a different level (short loading screen), then back again to the world map (trhough 3 loading screens) to acess a different RTS mission (long loading screen). It gets old; - The story is more suited to an RTS than an RPG: simply put, don't expect to make a lot of deep and meaningful choices; - Disparate quality voiceover: there are minor inconsistencies in quality, though the overarall level is quite good. Also, text and voice occasionally won't match; - "Leisurely": Both the RTS and the RPG aspects are not particularly deep (in the campaign, at least), which makes the game fairly easy. As reviewer ToeSuckingWizard put it: "While each one of its parts might not hold out against a “pure” game of respective genre, the mix makes the game something uniquely fulfilling."
