Time for a new turn on the critically acclaimed SpellForce-Series. The epic fantasy saga is finally available on mobile devices, offering a whole new angle to the franchise. Leaving the story of its PC ancestors untouched and comes indeed 100%-story free, the Premium Game will offer turn-based strategy and tactics instead of real-time. CRAFT YOUR FANTASY EMPIRE Creating an own Kingdom turn by turn is the main goal in the 13-Mission long adventure mode or the free game, where you are facing your AI-opponents on randomly generated maps. Choose between the Dark Elves, the Orcs or Humans as playable races and ally or fight six neutral factions. Send your troops to conquer cities, to claim mines or farms and to search for treasure. EXPLORE NEW LANDS Your race’s hero will lead your army on their search for glory, treasures and valuable resources to exploit. Because your ever-expanding empire needs them to prosper. When you find new cities, you can muster new unique unitsand command them in any battle that lies ahead. BATTLE YOUR ENEMIES While your heroes explore the realms, you will meet your opponents on the battlefield and will exterminate them in simultaneous turn-based combats. Played out on hexagons, you’ll send Archers, Catapults, Knights or Dark Elf Necromancers against beasts & enemies like Spiders, Shadow Nightmares or Barbarian Berserkers. While you plan your actions, so does your enemy. When you both execute your plans, you’ll see who the better strategist is. EVOLVE YOUR SOLDIERS SpellForce: Heroes & Magic is also an Role Playing Game. Your hero and your soldiers both gain experience and they both can find magical items like swords, armor or other equipment. When you level up, you can learn new skills and of course seasoned warriors are more valuable on the battlefields than fresh recruits. Features: ● No microtransactions, no lootboxes, no ads, not a single Free2play mechanic. Just a great game. ● Craft your own fantasy empire: Expand, Explore, Exploit and Exterminate. And no, we don’t think it’s a 4X game – do you? ● Lead your Heroes: Carry the battle to your opponents and defeat them. ● A world of magic: Heroes and units can cast Lightning Strikes or Fear Spells, can stun foes or heal companions. ● Simultaneously turn-based combat: Plan your armies’ actions while your enemy does and execute them at the same time. ● Items, Level ups, Skill-Trees: Individualize your army with fully fledged RPG mechanics. ● 3 Playable Races: Orcs, Humans, Dark Elves & their iconic heroes await your commands. ● 6 Neutral Races to ally with or fight against: Gargoyles, Shadows, Elves, Dwarves, Barbarians and Trolls are either loyal companions or fearsome enemies on the battlefield. ● Over 30 different units to muster and to lead into combat.

This game has a lot of the components of a good mobile game, but in the end, it’s just way too easy to be interesting. This is a game that would really benefit from allowing the player to procedurally generate a map and adjust difficulty but instead the game has the player play a bunch of pre-generated maps. If you get a few crossbow men, pretty much all of the fights on the map are completely trivial. Combat is really not challenging or interesting at all. I played through five or six of these maps, hoping it would get more challenging and it never did. So I just uninstalled. ### 2/5 — Không hay *2024-09-27, version 1.2.4* Không hấp dẫn lắm ### 5/5 — Xin việt hoá game *2024-03-09, version 1.2.4* Trò chơi rất hay nha mọi người. Update Vietnamese , please! ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2023-11-11, version 1.2.4* Bernostalgia game jadul dulu, tp ini versi terbarunya sdh hd, jgn ragu beli ini game, kalian pasti suka, mksih sdh membuat game ni ☺️ ### 1/5 — Позорники *2023-10-15* Хоть бы постарались ### 3/5 — Good game *2023-06-13, version 1.2.4* Game hay nên có nhiều chế độ chơi hơn ! và có tiếng việt ### 5/5 — Das beste HoMM Spiel im AppStore *2022-10-16* Anhand anderer Rezensionen habe nicht viel erwartet. Und siehe, das Spiel übertrifft alle meine Erwartungen. Wer Heroes of Might and Magick oder Ages of Wonders mag, der liegt hier ganz richtig. ### 4/5 — Fun but not without its flaws *2020-12-28, version 1.2.4* Overall a fun strategy rpg. I have encountered a bug where moving workers around on the city page caused a worker to disappear if you didn’t drop it perfectly on the square. I found no way to submit this bug from the app. Fix the bugs, create a feedback system in the game itself. ### 1/5 — Wtf *2020-06-28, version 1.2.4* I’m not sure why this game cost money. ## Frequently asked questions about SpellForce ### What is the gameplay like in SpellForce?
