More can be said of SpellForce’s triumphs in a summary. Its success at blending all of its parts together into a smoothly flowing, finely-crafted whole are more than just the final word in the development of the game; it’s a testament to the thought that went into blending the best features of two of the most complex genres in gaming, and creating an interface that’s easily accessible and suitably detailed. There are some rough edges, but the overall feel of SpellForce promotes ease of play, depth in character and story development, and brilliance in execution. I haven’t played a new RTS as worthy of my attention in a long time, and SpellForce exceeded my expectations and filled the hours of play with good old-fashioned fun.
