With all my grousing, though, I’m still glad that Phenomic put the effort into Spellforce that they did and I hope that future expansions or variations will be able to iron out the kinks in the otherwise compelling and engrossing gameplay. For anyone hoping to find a more traditional role-playing experience in a real-time strategy game, Spellforce is definitely worth a look. Let’s hope that Spellforce leads some RTS enthusiasts to know the joy of the RPG and that we’ll see more attempts at genre-blending that are this thoughtful in the future.
