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 Evil Islands.

Despite all the dead bodies, it’s truly a nice morning.

As far as the story is concerned, you can expect a few interesting moments. Rohen is the only Circle Mage that survived the Convocation; the great plague that nearly destroyed the entire world of Eo. After the cataclysm, Eo was nothing more than an archipelago, floating on the astral ocean. Rohen is struggling to reunite all the races and restore the world to its former glory. Another surviving Circle Mage, the one responsible for triggering the Convocation, opposes him. Anyway, the whole storyline seems to be similar to those we've witnessed in titles like Rage of Mages, Etherlords, and Evil Islands, all created by Russian development team, Nival Interactive. Though both Nival and Phenomic have the same publisher (Jowood), they swear that idea had not been borrowed, nor were they aware of any similarities with the material from the aforementioned games. Oh well, I guess nowadays people won't mind if a concept was stolen… oops, I mean "borrowed" as long as the game turns out okay. From what we've experienced, Spell Force is not spectacular or anything, but it's enjoyable enough to keep you occupied for quite some time.
