Both have the player control Sentenza Noria, commander of the Wolf Guard. The story begins in the events leading up to what will eventually be known as the Mage Wars and the creation of The Circle of Mages, sheding more light in what led to the disaster that set the stage for the original SpellForce. The game contains a couple prequels to itself in its own right one is mandatory and one is an optional scenario. Those who wondered what Eo was like prior to this event will get their wish granted as SpellForce 3 takes place about 500 years before this event took place. Those familiar with SpellForce know that a ritual involving some magic users led to a cataclysmic event known as the Convocation, with the first game taking place recently after this event tore the world asunder and its sequel taking place a few centuries in the future.

The SpellForce series has chosen to follow this path, which is not inherently bad by any stretch of the imagination since Dragon Warrior III and Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse were both triumphant entries in their respective franchises and even hold up well today if one can forgive the 8-bit presentation of the Paleozoic era. 'Fallen God' in particular is like 90% story/dialogs and 10% gameplay, I liked it, it is well made and was a cool journey, but I can't see a lot of replayability.Thanks to the likes of Dragon Warrior and Castlevania, making the third entry in a given series a prequel has become something of a normal convention in gaming. There's a thing anyway where SP3 is way better than the previous series, it is the story, really deep and detailed, long with a lot of twists, and also the interactions with your followers, this last thing is improved even more in 'Soul Harvest' and 'Fallen God'. I never had this issue in the previous games. I found very difficult to select targets inside crowd of people fighting. SP3 instead uses a different way to give attack/spell orders that I didn't like very much. in the first game was impossible to die, so it was more relaxing.Īnyway SP2 has a third person view and uses the same 'Click & Fight' interface to give order to your troops, so I still liked it. I also didn't like the fact that is actually possible to obtain a 'game over'. So these are both the first game of the SP3 serie:įor the rest I feel almost the same as you, SP2 had some improvements in gameplay, but it was over simplified and lost a lot of the deepness of the first serie. 'Spellforce 3: Reforced' is 'Spellforce 3' with a newer engine (the one that was improved in the next games of the serie).īecause the new engine also had some changes in the gameplay, the original 'Spellforce 3' was made still available with the name 'Spellforce 3: Legacy'. PaladinNO: I still don't know what SP3: 'Reforced' (.?) is. The game held zero interest for me, with no memorable moments (also, the whole SP2 expansion release was such a mess - and same with SP3 - I don't even know what the main game is called). I made it through the main game, and I gave up after that. Like, literally ruin everything with it (except the soundtrack, which was still good). Whatever they did with SP2, they completely ruined it as far as I am concerned. The one thing, that to me at least, made SpellForce 1 unique. And then came SpellForce 2, with a completely different gameplay, game breaking bugs.and no runestones, the one concept I had never seen before in a game of this genre. I can pretty much play through SP1 in my sleep. What a damn shame that is too - I own like 7 copies of SpellForce 1, retail and digital, and I have spent hours and hours and HOURS truly enjoying that game, with the expansions. I still don't know what SP3: 'Reforced' (.?) is.

Ugh, another prequel - I am SO fed up with that! A damn shame I just learned that, because once they managed to figure out how to make the SP3 releases make sense, I was planning to give it a go. Powergod: Be aware that the gameplay changes A LOT from SF3 to the previous 2 series, and even those are pretty different from each others.
