SpellForce 3 Reforced Reviews

good game

Miss the days I played this one my old computer.

Way harder than I anticipated. I guess I gotta gitgud.

Wow, the RTS on this game is so bad, worst spam fest I've ever seen in a piece of junk game. Avoid at all costs.

created an account to play multiplayer, couldnt log in to play multiplayer and my brother had the same exact issue.

Have no idea about the gameplay, bought it to play online with a friend and it required a THQ Nordic account to play multiplayer. No big deal, created the account and tried to log in. Login Failed. Timeout. Login Failed. Reset Password. Login Failed. Timeout. Login Failed. Installed on a different computer in a different location. Login Failed. Timeout. Installed on a 3 computer in a 3rd location on an entirely different internet provider with all open ports and firewalls down. Login Failed. Timeout. If you're going to require a login to play the multiplayer portion of your game, then at least have your servers working so that people can play. If you made a stupid requirement then it's on you to maintain that requirement.

At a first glance, this game seemed like a perfect fit for me - a Warcraft 3 with stronger RPG elements? With quite pretty, modern graphics? Sign me in! Unfortunately this game is simply bad. While the rpg missions seemed like more expanded Warcraft 3 no build missions which is fun, the whole experience is totally ruined when you get to actually building a base. The RTS mechanics in this game are trully terrible. I honestly see no point in playing this game. If I wanted to play a pure rpg then there are plenty of better options than this, and as a real time strategy this game is simply not fun.

Played through the game when it came out and had a lot of fun. Played through the expansion as well, no issues. Tried to pick it back up with the Reforced edition and get into the Journey mode, but it hard locks my computer after a variable amount of time, making the game completely unplayable. I would have definitely recommended it before, but the Reforced edition has been out for years and the hard locking issue is simply unacceptable and the fact that it has apparently not been addressed is baffling.

6 One of the few flaws of this game is that Prof. Twiddle or Flink McWinter doesn't show up. Dave's butter knife was here at least and is good on a tank/meat shield character. Other then that the economy and worker system was a nice call that allowed you to focus on combat, the scale of combat gets pretty crazy even if the computer cheats with resources, AOE spells are your godsend so never make a character without one, didn't expect the almighty katana or nagamaki to show up in the game but is still welcome, and finally screw you catapults. For mods that don't break immersion I suggest the following: Treasures of EO , Unique Bandits , Level cap 70, Undead fcation, and SpellForce 3 - Universal Reforced Content Patch

I was looking for a mix between age of mythology/starcraft 2 and a story based game system where you move around the world like diablo. I found it with Spellforce. I would recommend to anyone looking for more then just a Build, Attack, Restore, Win or monotonous gameplay where you can expect whats coming.
