SpellForce 3 Reforced + Soul Harvest & Fallen God standalone expansions

[ArchAngel]

Isn't this expansion something for the phones? Why are people here excited?!

Soul Harvest is a standalone game with a 20 hour campaign

Isn't this coming out today?

I never finished SP3, campaign got killed by a game stopping bug in one of the missions near the end. I never bothered to replay it although I did enjoy what I played.
I just might check out the "trial" version of this stand alone expansion if the game is more stable at release than the last one.

All I care about are the mechanical changes to the factions. Spellforce 1 & 2 were heavily flawed, but they had some of the most diverse and unique factions in the genre. Spellforce 3 factions are bland and generic as fuck.

 

[Lacrymas]

I wouldn't say SF1 had diverse factions, at least not the "good" races in the first campaign.

Personally, I found 2n Spellforce the best, minus the bugs. Their version RPG/RTS hybrid was different compared to say WC3. I am curious if the expansion can bring that excitement back again.

Is this expansion bringing such changes to the factions? I played a few skirmish matches vs AI, it was OKish. Played more like starcraft 2 that some classic RTS.

The worst thing i hated about Spellforce 3, despite its other merits is that each character has locked skill trees That made me give this up.

 

[Rahdulan]

It gives me Warhammer-y vibes.

Let's hope it's not TOO similar.

First impressions after a few hours of the campaign and some skirmish matches.

• Beautiful menu music

• They fixed the three biggest complaints with the gameplay. Factions are more diversified, resources are global, and heroes are no longer limited to several active abilities.

• There are three new skill trees. Demonlogists, Druids, and Beguilers (bards). The old skill trees are modified as well.

• You only get to choose two skill trees, but every combination has a unique synergy ability. That means there are 72 synergies in total.

• There are dozens of UI and QoL improvements that I've noticed

• The campaign has been stable and bug free so far.

• There's now co-op and PvP matchmaking.

It's too early to comment on the quality of the main campaign, but for $15 it feels like a substantial improvement over Spellforce 3.

Great to hear, kinda wish they would make a director's cut of the original campaign with those changes, they sound like a great improvement.

Another cool addition is that you can create custom party members in singleplayer. They don't even need to be human.

"Besides that we also are getting going on a rework for the maingame to offer the general improvements we did over the last year in the Soul Harvest cycle also for the main game and its story mode."

 

[deama]

What the hell? 10 minutes in and I wanna reinstall the game already? I don't even know why?

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

so they aped titan quest/grim dawn with choose 2 trees and maych for the expansion? Good to hear. Just hope each tree is more diverse and not railroaded like SF3 OC.

 

[thesheeep]

Bought already. Wonder when my backlog will reach it, though

Well thankfully Soul Harvest is playing a lot nicer in windows 10 than the original campaign did so I don't have to grab my older W7 computer.

Also, I think they're porting over the base Spellforce 3 campaign into Soul harvest? New solo game gives an option listed as coming soon.

 

[Parabalus]

How are the bugs?

SF3 on release needed constant patching after the initial few hours, is this playable out of the box?

 

[Yosharian]

What's this game like?

 

[Alienman]

Great to hear, kinda wish they would make a director's cut of the original campaign with those changes, they sound like a great improvement.

They might. When you start the game there is a tab for Spellforce 3 inside the game, but you can't press or play it yet. There is also a tab for another mysterious scenario.

Edit: Notice someone already pointed this out
