Best hybrid action-RPG and STR
In short: - Not the best STR nor action-RPG, but the best hybrid of both. - Rich developed fantasy setting - Graphics are still good nowadays - A long campaign, plus the other add-on campaign, which make ratio money/lifetime worth it In long: This game is suppose to be a mix of STR and action-RPG, and there will be mission where it will be only an STR, other only RPG, other both. To be fully honest there are better STR AND better action-RPG, but the mix of both is quite well done, and far better balanced as in the first episode (which I also loved for different reasons). The mechanics are not to deep, but still allow good tactics, and customization of the main character (tip: don't try to mix your character to many direction, as in most of the action RPG). The fact having your main character leading an army as a commander, or a brutal hero depending of your orientation, is always something nice. Regarding the STR side, expect a bit of collect&build typical of the STR of 95-05, with building to make units. Not strongly original, but still well working. The setting is for me one of the strongest argument of this game. If you have played the first episode with all the extension, you will be familiar with the pantheon, legends and creatures running into this world. The guys of Nordic really made a good job here, having a developed coherency. Plus, you will having feeling to this world (ok not always), like when you will discover ancients location, you will really have the impression that you dig up something old. The character cast goes from average to good, but do not expect some revolution here. Graphically, expect a game of post 2005, so still ok if you are not regarding (I am the quite of guy which still find KOTOR 2 good-looking today), and quite clear. The campaign is quite long, even if some (few) mission artificially over-expand by having a huge enemy base to destroy with dozen of defenses. The mix of genre allows the game to alternate genre. However I recommend it for people which are bit hard-headed and have to fear to spend time collecting resources and building huge armies, as typical for the solo-campaign STR of this time. Oh, and you can have coop gameplay. All in one, that is, at least for me, a game that is worth its price, not without flaws. Spellforce 2 is like a buddy you like to have a beer with, he's not perfect, he will unlikely be your love, but you can still like it and have fun with. But I will not recommend if you expect a good RTS and hate action RPG, and the other way around.
