Spellforce 3 - Delayed to Q3 2017

First Elex, now Spellforce 3 have been delayed to Q3 by THQ Nordic. Both were titles I am really looking forward to playing this year.

I really enjoyed Spellforce 2 Shadow Wars, but the 3 standalone expansions in the series just got repetitive. I really hope that Spellforce 3 brings something new to the table. There really aren't a lot of fantasy RTS games other than Warcraft, Warhammer, and Battle for Middle Earth.

I would like to see something new also but this topdown view just reminds me of Stronghold which I am not too fond of.

Well I'll repeat myself and say I have many worries about this game. The first one is about the games developer, and the second reason is because of the constant delays.

Me to as I never liked the stronghold games and the topdown view used.

In Spellforce 2, the view depended on your zoom level. Fully zoomed out was similar to the top down shown in the PVP battle, but zoomed in was more of a third person perspective.

Have you tried Warlords Battlecry series? It's old and 2D and I don't know how well it plays on modern systems, but when I played it 10 or so years ago it was really good.

I picked up Warlords Battlecry 3 on a GOG sale, just haven't got around to playing it. Thanks for the reminder. I also still need to finish Spellforce 2 Demons of the Past, the only one I have not finished.

Hehe, I remember playing this RTS/RPG hybrid back in the day. It has had a mixed reception, mainly due to the impact of better, concurrent titles. But I know some people who'll still swear by it. Personally, I've no idea as to how this franchise managed to survive this long, working off such a limited fan-base. Sacrifice (2000) always was more akin to my preferred type of hybrid.
