SpellForce 3 Reforced Reviews

I don't know what it is about the balance in this game, but its hard as #@!% for me. I really wanted to like it.

Coop and multiplayer is not availble in Russia.

SpellForce 3 Reforced delivers a stunning blend of real-time strategy and RPG, with beautifully polished graphics and responsive, intuitive UI. The epic, branching campaign and diverse hero classes offer deep customization—whether you prefer a mighty warrior or a devastating spellcaster. Improved enemy AI and larger battlefields make every encounter challenging and thrilling, and with integrated DLC, robust mod support, and stable multiplayer, SpellForce 3 Reforced is a must‑play for strategy and adventure fans!

Fun for a bit, but the RTS is 'ok', and the RPG the same. Together they make for a 6/10 experience. As for the RPG side, the talents and skills are quite interesting, but your heroes will quickly reach such a power spike that the party levels (not RTS parts) are boring and trivial. Furthermore the story suffer from being quite 'generic' and the writing is pretty bad, but the voice acting is fairly good. Sadly, it doesn't take long before you groan to see every NPC have so much to say, and yet say nothing meaningful at all. Once I began zoning out or skipping 90% of the heavy exposition, I uninstalled the game. Which is a shame. As for the RTS elements, it's fun but also ultimately meaningless. None of the special units matter unless you play on hard difficulty, you can use simple soldiers and archers to achieve practically anything. You keep expanding your base with outposts, but there is practically no reason to care about them, so you build watch towers around them. It feels like a lot of wasted potential. Get it on sale, it'll give you at least 10 hours of enjoyment.

Good game that I enjoyed. The story is fantastic and the RPG elements are really well done. The major downside to the game is the RTS element with the AI constantly rushing you, leaving you not time to plan or do any other strategy than rush back (personally I like to turtle and launch a massive 1 wave). It's kinda headache inducing, but it is still enjoyable. Hidden gem of a game, give it a go if you like story driven RPG's ... with a brain bursting RTS section!

Really goofy for a remake. Enemies barely react to hits and animations are poorly made. Dubbing is quite cringe and UI is a mess. Nice graphics though.

This game is nothing short of amazing. An interesting mix of RTS and RPG two genres I really love, this game offers an excellent campaign when it comes to characters which are very impressive and interesting, voice acting and story, it's a long campaign (which is great) with a lot of content and lore offered with excellent map designs and soundtracks. The campaign can get a bit tiresome on harder difficulties which can be easily resolved by changing the difficulty anytime you want, with no achievements related to that which by itself is really comforting. The PVP mode is also a lot of fun, the base factions are nice and the matches can get pretty intense. Spellforce 3 Reforced is a solid game with a great campaign and good PVP gameplay. I definitely recommend it! Specifically for anyone that appreciates great solo campaigns (which can be played in coop also) and enjoys Fantasy games.

I really want to like this game. But, the balance during troop and base building game play is horrible and just frustrating. I like to be challenge but, the AI mobs spawn none stop. They are unfairly stronger than the troops I can put out. I really wanted to finish this game for the story, but I'm going have to put it down for now.

SpellForce 3 + Expansions. ------------------------------------- A Throwback Done Right I grew up with the original SpellForce games and I can honestly say SpellForce 3 feels like coming home. From the moment the music starts you get that same warm feeling of the old days. The mix of RTS and RPG is still here and it works just as good as before. You build your base, gather your army, then go on a quest with your hero. The story is solid and has enough twists to keep you going. It respects the lore from the older games without just copying it. The maps are well made and full of small details to explore. The voice acting is good and fits the tone of the world. The UI takes a bit to get used to but after a while it feels natural. Then there are the expansions. Soul Harvest adds new factions and a darker tone to the story. Fallen God brings a fresh point of view and new mechanics. Both expansions make the world feel bigger and more alive. They do not feel like afterthoughts but real parts of the game. The devs clearly cared about keeping the SpellForce soul alive. Yes there are some bugs here and there but nothing game breaking. If you loved the first SpellForce you will feel right at home here. It is like meeting an old friend and seeing they still got it. Enjoy the game.

It's a decent 7/10 game that doesn't take a whole lot of risks but tells a decent RPG story. It feels like playing a homebrew DnD campaign. Some parts needed an editor, and it drags on a little toward the end but overall I enjoyed it and it didn't waste my time.
