SpellForce III: Reforced is a hybrid RPG and real-time strategy game developed by Grimlore Games, released in 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The game combines an expansive RPG narrative with real-time strategy mechanics, blending character-driven storytelling with base-building and tactical combat. The Reforced edition was specifically adapted to deliver a console-friendly experience, adjusting controls and interface elements to suit gamepad play without abandoning the depth of the underlying systems. Players engage with an epic storyline while also managing resources and directing forces in real-time battles, making it a title that sits at the intersection of two traditionally distinct genres. The design aims to be approachable for players new to either genre while still offering enough strategic and role-playing complexity to satisfy those already familiar with the SpellForce series.
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.
