SpellForce is the first title to really provide both game types, fully-fledged and undiluted, cutting no corners and presented in a single interface. Sound complicated? It is, but thanks to a long hold-you-by-the-hand tutorial, you'll learn all of the complex game mechanics as you adventure through the game's prologue.
It is also in the prologue where you'll learn about how the 13 great mages fought with each other and ripped apart the world, because that's the sort of thing that mages are always up to. The land, which now lies in separate pieces, is connected only by magic portals. Darius, a survivor of the 13, seeks to heal the land and has summoned you to help. However, it seems that another of the 13 has survived as well and is clearly up to no good. And so begins your quest.
And the second is at Fragland with an overall score of 66.4%:
All in all, SpellForce isn't a bad RTS/RPG, it's just sad that in neither case it's a topper nor will become one. Despite the technical problems and the slow gameplay it remains a nice timefiller but kicking WC3 or Generals' ass is not really an item here.
