The original Spellforce didn’t exactly take off over here in the UK, which is a shame as it was a brave attempt by Phenomic to merge the two genres of real-time strategy and role-playing. It wasn’t exactly bad either, receiving very solid reviews with some analysts even considering it a classic. With the developers always planning for the original to be the first part of a trilogy, respectable sales were hoped for and thankfully the Germans delivered in this department making the game a best-seller over there. So the release of the expansion marks Phenomic’s second attempt to really make Spellforce take off.
