SpellForce 3 review
by Curious_Cat

I really enjoyed this one, with one annoying exception. In the RTS portions, unit have two modes: useless (aka, stand in place) or "pursue to the ends of the earth". If you're not paying close attention you can lose all your units because the enemy WILL kite them into the middle of their base.

SpellForce 3 First of all, I can't share some bad Reviews. I've also played all The SpellForce Parts before that and yes these were different, but not necessarily better. Ok Part 1 was really better, but Part 2 wasn't much better, I'd even say worse than Part 3. But everyone has their own Opinion. I myself have only recently received SpellForce 3. The SpellForce Series does not belong to my Favorite Genre, but I play everything if I'm interested. Since I played the SpellForce Series at the Time and wanted to play the Successor, it has now come to this. The Game has an exciting Story line and has me directly tied up and zooed me. Pro: + good Graphics + very good Setting + good Soundtrack + exciting Story + funny conversations + animated World + lots of History, from the SpellForce Universe Contra:-very bad Camera guidance-a bit confusing at the beginning-Language overlaps when you get too fast into new Zones come, and you grade in Conversation-Hardware hungry, on full Details Gameplay: So it's real-time Strategy and a little RPG. Basically, in many Cases you build a Base, you build Units and Defenses and Upgrade your Heroes. Heroes are limited to 4 in a Group, Units are limited to the Amount of Seats you increase with Buildings or Bases. There are 3 Factions that can be used. People, Elves and Orcs each offer different Units. The Real-time Strategy is clearly noticeable but of the RPG Elements many things are missing, but this is no longer tragic. There are many Weapons and Clothing that offer different Stats and enhance the respective Heroes. Depending on the Skillation, a Combination of Tank, Healer, Long-distance Fighter and Melee fighter is usually the best Choice to have the Upper Hand in any Situation. Since the Game can also be a bit tough At difficulty level "normal," you should pay attention to your Skillation and Skills. But just as a 4-man Hero group almost everything falls over, unless you want to take an Opponent Base, but for that you build your Units in the Background. Verdict: A worthy Successor to the Spellforce Series, even if it doesn't feel that way. Somehow everything feels different, maybe because it was a few Years ago, when I last played SpellForce. The Game can score with the exciting Story and overlaps the bad Camera View. If you Have a slightly higher Map and you turn the Camera perspective, there are incredible Bugs. However, you get used to it and you know a little later how far you are only allowed to rotate so as not to have a jumping Camera all The time. When we are there, I am approached and have lost heart. In the previous Parts you could get much closer and you could also see a Ghost. If you keep your Eyes open, you see a lot and you can pick up a lot. It has already captivated me myself and I will gradually bring the Game to an End. I myself can't rate this Game badly and honestly, I don't know why the Game is partly still being torn up. I myself have not seen or found such strong Flaws that make the Game bad. Worse than Part 1 but better than Part 2 and thus the Thumbs up. However, I myself would not claim it would be worth €50, rather so in the €30p Range. For more Reviews of me Subscribe here and at pleasure also like to join my Group.
