Good ideas, shoddy execution & the crash
After 90 minutes of playtime I decided to move on. While some aspects of the game seem good on paper, a mixture of underwhelming execution and a troublesome crash issue made me feel my time was best spent elsewhere. The game allows you to customize your main character's stats and choose from set number for your avatar. The gameplay is fashioned more like many fantasy RTS games of its time with RPG elements including your main character gaining levels and acquiring gear which will persist throughout the story. My negative experiences occurred immediately as selecting the Options button crash the game on my Windows 10 machine. You can bypass this by forcing the game to run in windowed mode by modifying a shortcut for the executable, however this forced the game to run at the smallest resolution despite altering the config.lua accordingly. This crash is quite jarring as I felt like discovering this solution took a bit of research and a few things (namely graphics and music volume) needed tuning. While the voice acting is forgiveable, the UI and the gameplay pacing was not. Navigating the UI elements was unintuitive, usually requiring far too much shuffling around. I cannot understand a Worker needs to be manually stopped from his current job before being commanded to build. The game moves at a snail pace. Points of interest are far apart, everything moves and performs things at a snail's pace. I'm sure this game has the potential to be fun once you give it the time. However, that's a tall order when an endless stream of outstanding games exist. In fact, there were times when I was reminded that Warcraft III, a game released years prior, executed many of the shared similarities better and I couldn't help wanting to play Warcraft instead. I won't fault anyone favoring SpellForce, but for me: I think my time is best spent playing something else.
