This is a review for the Reforced Version.

SpellForce 3 combines the strengths of many RTS games and adds ARPG level hero systems to mix up the formula. Imagine Warcraft 3, but with the army size of SC2 and economic complexity of Age of Empires.


A great story set in a deep fantasy world with believable characters. Play at your own pace and choose what order you want to do the missions in. Lots of optional dialogue, with great voice acting. Some missions are just an RPG with a hero party, others are that+RTS.

Just like campaign, but very limited on story. Feels like repeatable missions built for coop. And you can take your custom hero into skirmish if you like. If these were more unique maps, I'd have given it a 10.

Fun survival mode with just a basic hero and random items in shops. High score goes to leaderboard. Play alone or with friends.

There's 6 asymmetric factions, but in this version you unlock 3 - Humans, Elves and Orcs. They play completely differently from one another. Play with max 6 players in any combination, including free for all. 18 total skirmish maps.


Replays, Spectator Mode, Ranked Mode, Leaderboards are all available. Hotkey customization is a little messy but gets the job done. Need better servers. If prior two are improved, this would would be a 10/10.

There is no RTS on the market that matches the graphical fidelity of SpellForce 3 as of 2021. You will be blown away 100%.

Masterpiece tier.

Versus Edition allows you to play skirmish for free with 1 race and get a taste of the campaign with the prologue.

I'm going to be covering quite a bit of SpellForce 3 going forward. Be sure to check out my media below:
