The human heroes in the campaign had liner tech trees that required the unlocking of certain abilities before others, though providing a large number of potential leveling paths and final states. Of course, this leads to power spikes as heroes are brought up to speed in the game, but I saw that as largely a positive thing in the context of Spellforce. I was pleasantly surprised to see that all heroes share the same level, doing away with the challenge posed in WarCraft 3 of leveling each hero individually (sometimes quite a challenge for the second and third heroes you add).

Heroes each have their own tech tree, with players allocating points to abilities and stats on alternating levels: so, when the hero reaches level 2, they are allocated an ability point, and when they reach level 3 they’re allocated a stat point.

Players can have up to 3 heroes, a little like WarCraft 3, but each faction has a larger stable than in Blizzard’s game (there may be some WarCraft 3 references in this article, but the games are far more different than they are similar. In Spellforce, players manage a number of different types of entity. Switching over to the campaign, I was able to ease my way into the game’s mechanics a little more gradually. This isn’t a problem per se, but did lead to a little bit of frustration as I jumped right into a skirmish match expecting to feel my way around, and promptly running into the walls of my incorrect assumptions over and over. Spellforce 3 was a little harder for me to ease my way into than the average RTS. What follows are my impressions from the handful of hours I was able to give the game this past weekend. Was this game in the vein of WarCraft 3, or Battle Realms? I had little idea what to expect, but the concept and the art direction interested me. I’d never heard of the series, but was intrigued by the concept. Thankfully “cataclaw,” an RTS player who I met thanks to our mutual appreciation of the Company of Heroes series, pointed out to me last week that Spellforce 3, an RTS/RPG hybrid, was having an open beta on GOG this past weekend (November 24-27, 2017, for those who may read this in the future). I try to stay abreast of what’s coming up in the strategy game space, but miss out on them far more often than I’d like.
