Description

Spellforce introduces hero-based real-time strategy, a new genre that delivers the action and tactics of a RTS blended with an immersive RPG experience.

A long time ago in a world beyond imagination, 13 dark mages unleashed the power of the elements, shattering the continents like glass. All that was left were few islands, connected by magic portals. Now, the evil is back – stronger and more powerful than ever – to finish what was started. The prophecies speak of a new hope, a human damned to immortality and bound to the power of the blood runes. To drive the evil from this splintered world, the rune warrior must unite the races and change the destiny of many…

In SpellForce, gamers play a rune warrior on a quest against a dark force plaguing the world. SpellForce blends real-time strategy (RTS) and role-playing (RPG) elements with a compelling storyline and combat. RTS fans will enjoy the opportunity to build armies and wage epic battles, sending their troops against over 100 finely detailed enemy units. RPG fans will be immersed in an intense fantasy world while guiding their character through quests, casting spells and defeating evil.
