It is the year 518. The rebellion of the renegade mages, known as the Mage Wars, has been quashed by the Crown. However, it was a Pyrrhic victory: Whole regions have fallen into anarchy, refugees roam the lands in search of shelter, and a mysterious, deadly plague called the “Bloodburn” has arisen and is spreading rapidly. In times like these people cling to any sign of hope they can find. The Purity of Light, led by a charismatic man called Rondar Lacaine, claims that mages are the source of all misfortune – and that only the second coming of Aonir, the father of all gods, will return Eo to its former splendor. The story takes place before the acclaimed SpellForce: The Order of Dawn. Expand

    Long load times in coop, and there is unfortunately almost as much loading screen time as playtime on final mission in coop. ExploredLong load times in coop, and there is unfortunately almost as much loading screen time as playtime on final mission in coop. Explored everything thoroughly and finished after 40 hours, though we only managed to craft 3/11 artifacts and upgrade Isgrimm's armor once. There is more to the game we haven't played, like the pregame scenario, Journey mode or competitive. Expand

    Abysmal balancing on circle mage difficulty (hardest mode) campaign mode.

    Enemy AI very obviously cheats. Rush them early and you'll see
    Abysmal balancing on circle mage difficulty (hardest mode) campaign mode.

    Enemy AI very obviously cheats. Rush them early and you'll see that they have upgraded units and an insane army right at the start.

    If you're gonna add a difficulty tier, PLAY TEST IT!!!

    It's a shame because the presentation is great. Good graphics. Good voice acting. Interesting story.

    I'll bookmark this game for a few years from now, if ever they rework the braindead ultra-cheating AI.
