    Even though it lacks fresh ideas, Spellforce: Conquest of Eo offers hours of fun with its rock-solid gameplay loop. The turn-based combat is accessible and fast, there are plenty of spells to research and things to do in every round. Just don't expect a game that you will keep revisiting for a very long time.

    Conquest of Eo brings SpellForce closer to 4x than to traditional RTSs. Despite this choice, the game still lacks something to feel as fresh as it could have.

    SpellForce: Conquest of Eo is a good reason to return to the universe, but it feels far less epic in scale when compared to the previous titles.

    SpellForce: Conquest of Eo strips away a lot of what makes the franchise unique and doesn't replace it with anything exciting.

    Spellforce: Conquest of Eo is a delightful spin on the 4X strategy genre. However, it remains just a step away from being truly ambitious with most systems continuing to play the second fiddle to the overall exploration and management.

    A competent, if not groundbreaking change of pace for the SpellForce series that is a good foundation for future additions.

    I played a lot of Might and Magic in my day, so I thought I'd give this a go.

    I'll be honest and say I this don't like this game. You are    I played a lot of Might and Magic in my day, so I thought I'd give this a go.

    I'll be honest and say I this don't like this game. You are asked to do a variety of things, the relationship between which, is not well explained. It feels, to me, counter intuitive. I personally think this game would have been better had it tried to do less and tied ideas together.

    In summary, feels like a disjointed, complex mess, that could have accomplished more, had it taken the simple lesions from Might and Magic and built upon them.    … Full Review »

    I used to play Age of Wonders II back in the days and this game reminds me of the good old days.

    The fantasy is quite generic but the combat and the progress system is really interesting.
    The fact that it's Steam Deck verified and the relatively low price makes it a must buy for the players who love fantasy 4X games!

    EDIT: after more hours I raised the review to 9 because it's really addictive and has a lot of content.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. 21€ (now 30€) on launch day, I feel like I robbed them!
    A lot of people compare it with might and magic or age of wonder, but the campaign map and the crafting system reminds me a lot of TW Warhammer, which is a very good thing.
    I especially like the very short battles, that can be challenging, but if you find the right tactic (f.e. holy water crafting with the alchemist will destroy undead hordes in the south) the dynamics can change drastically. And with the huge map, as well as the various factions and quests, you won't get bored after a few playthroughs.
    Game of the year for now, at least for me!    … Full Review »
