SpellForce - The Order of Dawn is no small feat: with high production values, an epic quest, and an evenly mixed formula of role-playing and strategy, along with 6 races to play as, there is hours upon hours of play here. Unfortunately, the strategy portions are incredibly dry with a repetitive system of destroying spawn point after spawn point. Saved by interesting, although not entirely varied, units, and a role-playing portion that feels like a mixture of an online and party-based role-playing title, with the player taking one cross-trainable hero throughout the entire game and having the ability to summon heroes to form a party, there is no doubt that SpellForce is both charming and addictive. Strategy fans should be weary of checking it out, but for those who want to dabble in a few genres at once, Phenomic's offering should provide a unique and enjoyable experience.
