SpellForce: The Order of Dawn (PC)

 

SpellForce's unique combination of role-playing and strategy elements makes it worth a look for fans of either kind of game.

Spellforce: The Order of Dawn Review for the PC

 

RTSPG? RPGTS? RTRP...ah, who cares.

Even my own avatar's AI makes me want to scream. Like many RPG games, your avatardoes nothing without being instructed. My first avatar was an archer, who wasso stupid she wouldn't even shoot the enemy; meanwhile my generic archer unitswere running...

An innovative mix of gaming genres that gives the goods ... as long as you don't go online.

Innovative mix of genres; lots of customization

Doesn't really do any of the genres completely well; hefty tech requirements; multiplayer woes

SpellForce: The Order of Dawn

 

Typically I like to open reviews by setting a mood similar to that which is found in the game. I give a bit of the historical background of the plot and give subtle hints as to where things may be going. I like to write the introduction with a dark...

I wish it were possible to forego all fancy explanation and justification and simply tell readers to trust me and spend their money elsewhere. Unfortunately, unless I explain my opinion it will be impossible for what I say to have merit. I sincerely...

SpellForce: The Order of Dawn

 

Who doesn't want to be a part of an epic fantasy tale? Well, Spell Force is as epic as they get. In short, Spell Force could be described as a mix of top-notch titles such as Dungeon Siege and Warcraft III, with a dash of Age of Mythology: Titans and...

Great story, excellent combo of RTS and RPG elements, decent visuals, good AI and path finding, a true sense of adventure with an epic feel thrown into the mix

Rather unpolished, too easy at times (especially the RTS bit), units balancing, clunky interface, voice acting, steep hardware requirements

SpellForce: The Order of Dawn- PC

 

Fantasy games have always been very popular amongst gamers. In general fantasy games tend to be either strategy games or role-playing games but regardless of the genre the appeal of fantasy games seems to be limitless. Imagine a fantasy game that gave...

Games that attempt to combine genres don't usually result in the game being worthwhile with the different elements being so dumbed down that fans of either genre are disappointed. Whilst SpellForce has streamlined RPG and RTS elements, they are...

Spellforce: The Order of Dawn

 

I should warn you right away that I may be a dedicated, addicted gamer, but I have never cared much for Real Time Strategy (RTS). I tried Age of Wonders and flirted briefly with Warcraft, but I remain a dedicated RPGer. If you want to make me happy...

Voice acting has the same shortcomings of a few other European titles like Divine Divinity. I am a huge D.D. fan, having replayed it almost a dozen times, but the voice acting was never its strong suite. One wonders if the actors are more convincing...

Pretty decent RTS/RPG but the camera controll has alot to be desired....

Iv'e just started playing this one and i have to admit,it's a fun title. I'm a (NEWBEE) when it come to the RTS genre, so bare with me on this one. The game is advertised as having a blend of both (RPG and RTS) which is what attracted my attention so i...

Refreshingly different

 

Refreshingly different

I won't be repeating everything other reviewers have stated and stick to the main points: - This isn't a game for everybody; it's not a "true" RTS nor a very deep CRPG. If you can't deal with that, don't buy it. - It's a mix of both but on the light...
