In battles, players have access to a system that allows them to activate combat skills and spells depending on what is selected - if an enemy is selected, players can dictate which characters attack it, and what skills/spells are used on it. However, death does not permanently end the game – if a player has activated a monument called a "bindstone" on a map, then their character will re-spawn at if should they die in battle. By increasing certain skills, players can equip their character to using new types of weapons and spells for combat. Alongside their character, players can summon immortal warriors (deemed as "Runewarriors" in the game) who act like additional party members to help in exploration of the game world and combat, as well as armies of military units - done through gathering resources, building structures, and then recruiting units that are unlocked as a result - to help with large-scale battles.Īs with traditional role-playing games, player-created characters can be assigned to one of three classes - fighter, archer or magician - with different stat points and allocated skills when being created. In the game, players take on the role of a character that they create (an avatar) who explore a variety of maps, conducting quests and killing monsters, and earning experience to level up, improve skills, and unlock the ability to wield new equipment. SpellForce is both a real-time strategy and role-playing video game played from the third-person perspective. The success of the game led to it spawning two sequels: SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars on August 21, 2006, and SpellForce 3 on December 7, 2017. Both the main game and the expansions were later re-released as a package titled SpellForce Platinum Edition in November 2005. The Order of Dawn received favorable reviews, with two expansions later released for it by JoWooD Productions: SpellForce: The Breath of Winter in June 2004, and SpellForce: Shadow of the Phoenix in November that same year. The game was released in Europe on November 11, 2003, and in North America on February 11, 2004. In addition to the game's story campaign, players can also engage in skirmish battles, and multiplayer matches. The game combines elements of role-playing such as taking on quests, equipping characters and improving them when levelling up, alongside real-time strategy elements focused on gathering resources to construct bases and units. The story itself focuses on an immortal slave who is granted their freedom in order to investigate growing troubles amongst some of these islands, which soon brings war to their inhabitants.
