GameSpace
Rating: 8/10“The game is far above the average, but with little things like control issues, bugs and AI behavior met frequently enough to sour the impression.”Pros:
- Unique mix of RPG & RTS
- Beautiful aesthetics
- Deep systems
- Clunky controls
- Lack of precision in commands
- Bugs and glitches
- Visual clutter
GameWatcher
Rating: 7/10“SpellForce 3 is a unique mix of strategy and RPG mechanics that miraculously loses very few of either. It asks no knowledge of the previews titles, and features co-op and PvP multiplayer modes in addition to the rather long single-player campaign. Ironically, in an age of MOBA’s ad strategy-less strategy games, this years-old staple of game design feels surprisingly refreshing.”Pros:
- Beautiful and often responsive combat
- Amazing soundtrack
- Good graphics
- Significant base-building aspects
- Interesting lore and dialogue
- Bit to focused on micromanagement
- Units are quite hard to select or precisely control in battles
- Character development is rather shallow
Hardcore Gamer
Rating: 8/10“2017 was already a great year for RPG’s and SpellForce 3 adds another entry on an already impressive list as the year comes to a close.”Pros:
- Blending of genres come together smoothly
- Delivered on the potential it showed while still in development
- Gives a unique experience
- Might not be the deepest individual RTS and RPG experience ever created.
- Hardcore CRPG or RTS fans might find the game systems for the respective genres less complex than some of their favorites.
- Not the most original idea for a plot
IGN Italia
Rating: 6.5/10“With a full-bodied campaign of about 30 hours, it is not the contents that are lacking, but rather the sense of wonder that should push the player to discover them completely.”Pros:
- Interesting background idea
- Long-lived campaign
- Poor characterization of heroes and factions
- Uninspired aesthetics
- Assorted berries
