“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

Cons:

• 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

Cons:

• 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

Cons:

• 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

Cons:

• Poor characterization of heroes and factions
• Uninspired aesthetics
• Assorted berries
