Visually it is quite lush and comes across a bit like a knights and armour version of Company of heroes, you can zoom right in to see the troops on the ground or you can pull back and survey the battleground. Base building was perhaps more prominent in Lord Of The Rings but becomes ever more important in Spellforce 3 as you progress. But the idea of Hero units and their abilities and cool downs is certainly common between the two. I guess the main difference there is that the story for the Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle Earth was so well known prior to the game that it didn’t require quite as much fleshing out and so the focus could be more on the RTS elements. As with your main character your companions will also level up and to stay successful you would do wise to balance their skill set with yours, complimenting your ranged attackers with strong front line heroes and a touch of magical assistance never hurt anyone.Īs much as the first impression of Spellforce was that it was Baldur’s Gate with RTS elements it actually ended up reminding me a bit more of another game I remember fondly, The Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle Earth. Much like Baldur’s Gate your party will grow and contract over time depending on what your path requires. The standard tree structure is used for enhancing abilities with focuses on spells, ranged combat and brutal force being among the areas you will want to develop. As you follow the story and make your way from battle to battle you naturally accrue experience and periodically get to level up. As mentioned earlier the game is arguably primarily an RPG, so developing your character is important to your progression. Often RPG’s do indeed work best when the story is well developed and conflict is infused within… well it certainly is here. So clearly the story is writ large throughout the game. Sure enough your lineage comes into play and you will be shunned for the sins of your father… but that won’t stop you forging your own path and making your own little imprint on history. Stuck between being the child of arguably the most despised mage and your path towards becoming a battle mage for the very society your father shook to it’s core… you are obviously in for some fairly rocky times. You learn of a great change in society… the point at which mages were generally outlawed… then you learn that your main character is the child of the mage that caused this giant shift. Spellforce 3 begins with a preamble of sorts. You don’t always need to build a base or rouse an army… but just as you will find yourself soldiering through and developing your main hero/s you will have plenty of occasions in which you need to set down roots and let your forces grow.īut perhaps (as usual) I’m getting ahead of myself. But where it strikes a different chord is in the added element of RTS gaming. For anyone interested in RPG games it’s hard to ignore some of the early classics such as Baldur’s Gate and there are absolutely splashes of that throughout Spellforce 3. We have very generous core working hours, providing you with a lot of flexibility to adjust your working hours around your life, not the other way around.There’s no question about the inspiration for Spellforce 3 (well other than presumably Spellforce 1 and 2, obviously). If you just want to do your work and then spend time with your family, that’s also perfectly fine, but we will never stop asking you if you’d like to join us. That might mean playing table football, hiking, bouldering, going to the gym, playing video/board games, or just having some drinks. We are a team, which means that many of us spend a lot of time together outside of regular office hours. Instead of a noisy open-plan office, we are distributed across several rooms, providing an atmosphere that allows everyone to focus on the task at hand. We recently renovated both of our office floors and can now provide a cutting-edge, air-conditioned office space with modern furniture, including ergonomic chairs, electric height-adjustable stand-up desks, and of course, a lot of high-tech equipment. The area is home to several supermarkets and a variety of restaurants, and coffee and soft drinks are provided in the office, helping make everyday life even more pleasant for our team. This allows our team members to comfortably live in the city, the surrounding countryside of Munich, or even in other larger cities like Augsburg that offer high-speed railway connections to Munich. Our office is located in Maxvorstadt, a vibrant district in the heart of Munich, within walking distance of Munich Central Station.
