Good, but only if...

It's a very good game. Very unique mix. I have spent many long days playing it, few years ago, and i love it. It will keep you entertained for a VERY long time. Why only 2 stars? Well... Spellforce does NOT support any "high" resolution, or widescreen resolution. Also, according to CD Project curtomer service it is NOT compatible with i3/5/7 processors. If you have an i3/5/7 processor you will have two options : 1 - Constant crashes 2 - Game will not launch at all I wish that info was included in the game description before i purchased it. Hope it helps,

Mediocre at best

The promo price of $4 was hard to pass up and I'm glad I didn't spend the full $9.99 on Spellforce at a later time. The blend of an RPG and RTS was an interesting twist, but for me the experience rang hallow as the game progressed beyond the early stages and I found myself caring very little for the world, the lore, and my own character's development. There are horrible balance issues in regards to game mechanics that become increasingly obvious as you progress further. Mage and rogue types eventually become useless while the strength/stamina hack and slash fighter build is overpowered the entire way through. Companions are uninteresting and are mostly cannon fodder for the dungeon crawling aspects of the game which requires no strategy beyond point and click. The loot is unvaried and uninteresting. I only found one weapon the entire game I thought was unique or even worth getting. The RTS element is deceptively entertaining at first but there is no tangible variety in the six playable races beyond personal preferences of what you think is visually pleasing. Enemies come in easily dispatched waves, exhibit no tactics beyond just mauling whatever they run into first, and you can pretty much kill any monster or mob by just kiting them. Resource management is a joke as everything is close at hand and requires no aggressive decision making on the part of the player to acquire new strongholds or outposts. There is generally only one, maybe two, entrances to your base and can easily be walled off with buildings causing all the laughably easy mobs to be funneled down into a kill zone. Overall the game was too long and I my first mistake was probably choosing to be a Heavy Combat Arms strength/stamina build as playing as anything else was grueling and felt like punishment. The RTS element isn't bad but extremely weak in comparison to pretty much any other RTS of its era. Ultimately I recommend only buying and playing this game during the promotion period or if you've exausted all other alternatives in both the RTS and RPG genre.

Greatness resotred by gog

Ugly graphics, great music, great worldbuilding, good gameplay and epic story, exactly how I remembered it. I remember playing it on windows xp, back in 2008(game is from 2002) and playing this game for hours, and now? This game doesn't even need nostalgia to look good. Graphics:yep, they got quite ugly quite quick, yet it has some charm to it. Gameplay:rts with great resource mechanics mixed with tpp if you want, tho it doesn't add much. Story: can't say much without spoiling anything, tho i give it solid 8 Buy,wait for discount or avoid like fire? Buy it, just do it and immerse yourself in this game for a loooot of hours

Amazing concept, somewhat poor execution

Spellforce has amazing potential and from the get-go you'd think it can certainly live up to it. However it's the little things that take it down. Quite simply it's boring and not that well designed. Here's a list in no particular order: The voice acting is pretty bland. Fog of war resets everytime you leave area(which I found very annoying). Level design could use a lot of polish. Story could use a rewrite. RTS component could use an overhaul starting from the design of mechanics/races right down to how the engine handles the RTS play. RPG controls were on the right track, but still need a fair bit of work. How the engine handles certain things like aggro could use a bit of work. And finally: Devs could benefit from a bit of brains so that they realize when to stop adding things and start making the things that are there work together well so that what you get is a finished game, not an ad-hoc mix of different mechanics. They quite simply bit off more than they can chew.
