This is, of course, a plus for an RTS game. When I started walking arond the Greykeep, I couldn’t help myself and started watching around. Graphics and the level designing is gorgeous. So you won’t be watching your character’s eye animations when you are trying to manage your army and your heroes.Īfter you jump into the game, you will see that SpellForce 3 offers a feast for the eyes. But, on the other hand, this is an isometric RTS game. The customization is not really solid to be honest. Unfortunately, when you start creating your character, you realize that there are not many choices. It takes a little time when you start creating your own character. This part can be considered as the tutorial part. The game starts with a quick sequence where you control a couple of special characters. Let’s start with the character creation and the main characters of the game. So, let’s start talking about the game itself, shall we? Just like what you will do when you get it, believe me. And I apologize that I didn’t want to rush the main story because I really wanted to enjoy the game. In order to fully experience the game, one should probably spend weeks. And the main campaign requires so much time to finish. Not because I have been a lazy bastard, but because the game itself offers a huge RPG game with tasty RTS sequences. And now, I stand in the same position with this one.īefore we start, I would like to tell you guys that I didn’t have the enough time to finish the main story in SpellForce 3 . I cannot even tell you guys how many hours I had spent in Custom Maps of that game. A well balanced hero management with RTS elements are impressively satisfying when it is done correctly. And I can easily say that I still am a huge fan of this. Personally, I was a big fan of the impact of the hero management mechanic of Warcraft 3 on the RTS side of the game. In the past, I had seen many RTS – RPG mesh ups. And it offers a unique taste with a good and balanced mixture of these two genres and their elements with beautifully designed music and visuals.Īs a person who never had the chance to play any other SpellForce game, I was a little skeptical towards SpellForce 3. SpellForce 3, latest game of Grimlore, THQ Nordic, latest example of the SpellForce franchise and the game which mixes the RTS and RPG elements is here. And today, we stand in front of a good example of this ‘improvement’. Rather than developing one type of game with only one focus, developers from these studios have improved the future of gaming industry. ‘Mixtures’ of different game genres emerged from many developer studios. And video games, as an art form themselves if you ask me, have experienced the same transformation. It has been like this for many years now especially in literature, music, cinema and many other art forms. Many genres from other art forms has been mixed up with other different disciplines in order to create something new and innovative.
