SpellForce III: Reforced

About

SpellForce III: Reforced layers deep role-playing with real-time strategy in a fractured fantasy world. You lead characters through a war-torn land where mage rebellions have collapsed into chaos and a deadly plague threatens all life. Build bases, manage armies, and make choices that shape the fate of warring factions. The story follows events before the previous games but stands on its own with dense dialogue and branching paths. The game balances tactical combat with character development across multiple platforms. Its 2021 release added refined mechanics and co-op options for local and online play. Players highlight the strategic depth of managing resources while juggling RPG progression. With over 25 hours of main content and varied difficulty settings, it appeals to fans of complex narratives and military tactics. Available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Storyline

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.
