Critic reviews
- 8.0At the end of the day, I'm also assuming that all this difficulty stuff won't matter to a lot of you, because the game really is great, and worth playing no matter whether you're a fan of the series, a fan of real-time strategy games, or even a fan of role-playing games. It's unique, fun, and challenging in all the right way. And hey, if it stresses you out, you'll know early enough.
- 8.0Building on its predecessor’s mixture of RTS and RPG elements, SpellForce 3: Soul Harvest provides an engaging recipe that we don’t often get nowadays. A stand-alone expansion in the traditional sense, exploring its 20-hour long story campaign means uncovering a plot with significant consequences alongside a handful of charismatic companions. Whether delving into ancient ruins as a party of four or leading armies on the frontlines, Soul Harvest’s unique blend of RTS and RPG is one worth experiencing.
- 8.0Overall production values are great with all dialogue having accompanying voice acting and when talking to NPCs you're often presented with several dialogue choices - many of which expand the world's lore and current events. With several quality of life and mechanic upgrades from SpellForce 3, Soul Harvest is an enjoyable experience that scratches both the RPG and RTS itch. A blend that still feels unique to this series, and one that continues to impress all these years later.
- 8.4Starkes, umfangreiches Standalone-Addon alter Schule mit langer Kampagne, zwei coolen Völkern – und ohne Bug-Katastrophen.
- 5.5Spellforce 3: Soul Harvest è un’espansione “muscolare”, un’iniezione di contenuti con cui Grimlore vuole dimostrare di avere molto a cuore il suo gioco. Ma sebbene le novità potrebbero bastare per accontentare i più fervidi amatori del capitolo originale, Soul Harvest è piagata da un numero troppo alto di problemi, sviste, mancanze e dissonanze. Quello che la caratterizza è un saliscendi così marcato di stacchi qualitativi, da sembrare che sia il frutto di un lavoro d’assemblaggio poco accorto, noncurante dell’armonia che dovrebbe intercorrere tra i vari elementi di gioco.
