Spellforce Gold Views
SpellForce Gold Edition, includes The Order of the Dawn and Breath of Winter, plus the expansion pack Shadow of the Phoenix. In SpellForce' single-player action, players will enjoy a unique mixture of RTS and RPG elements that offer the player exciting gaming challenges through a persistent game world with a continuous, gripping storyline and numerous sub-quests. The series offers multiplayer action where up to three gamers can play cooperatively over a LAN.
Gold is not only the colour of the most wanted olympic medal, but also the sign of winners. And SpellForce is indeed a winner, the innovative game surprised players and press all over the world. A new genre was created, and the game placed itself in top chart positions worldwide, selling far beyond expectations, especially in Europe. SpellForce
Of course, SpellForce Gold's mages aren't the rabbit-in-the-hat types, but the role-playing breed, a far more dangerous cauldron of squid. They just love to cause chaos with fireballs, lightning, summoned skeletal minions, acid arrows... so it's no real surprise that when the land of Eo convened a circle of 13 wizards to guard its destiny, the power went to their pointy-hatted heads and in-fighting wrought a terrible destruction on the realm.
In spite of a clump of such minor flaws, SpellForce Gold is a very addictive and well worked combination of RTS and RPG. As the Gold edition, it contains both the fully patched original game and the expansion campaign, both of which are challenging and lengthy. For twenty quid, that's a lot of gameplay hours.
