Put 65 hours into the campaign, i don't regret it. Could need a bit more polish though, i run into a few bugs and picked up a lot of misc items that i couldn't use except for selling them. However i do like the entire Spellforce franchise so i'am a bit biased :D.
Good RTS+RPG, too bad that you can't build in any place on map. The story it is above average, good graphics, I like how I can zoom and rotate camera(like in Sacred 2).
...twice the price. This game may feel good until you compare it with other RPGs launched last years. I've played Divinity: Original Sin, so to me Spellforce 3 feels just unfinished.
It says RPG - but there is no role-playing. Plot is mostly linear, choices doesn't matter. Character classes are tiny and doesn't give much tactical variety. There is no abilities usable in storyline.
It says RTS, but there is no strategy - all RTS missions has one scheme "take bases -> build army -> win mission". The game encourages you to manage resources, but to me it feels like developers just try to take the player's time with micro management because they can't offer anything else. And missions doesn't matter globally - they just advance you in the story.
Graphics are nice, but poorly optimized - PC requirements are way too high for this graphics compared to other games launched in last 5 years. Again, Divinity was 2 years ago, and it is mostly looks better with much lower requirements.
So, it you are Spellforce fan, you should like the game, but if you played some popular RPGs from last years, you might feel disappointed.
i bought this then it set for 2 months because i didn't like the controls. BUT they arn't bad and when it gets moving this game is really great. Great vioce acting, story and graphics and play!!!!!
