SpellForce: Conquest of Eo. Easy-to-miss indie Steam hits of 2023

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo, THQ Nordic, 2023

It will still be some time before 4X strategy lovers can sit down to Age of Wonders 4. To make the wait more pleasant, you can reach for the successful SpellForce: Conquest of Eo, a turn-based strategy in which exploration, expansion, extermination and exploitation are key gameplay elements. This position differs slightly from the assumptions of the main installments of the SpellForce series, which offers a combination of RTS and RPG. Following the story in the game, we learn about the fate of a mage who continues the work of his late master, investigating the power of a primordial fire. To this end, we fight for dominance over our colleagues.

During the game, we spend a lot of time developing our army, taking over territories and gathering more powers, valuable resources, and expanding our tower. An important part of the game are also battles, which, like the rest of the activities, are turn-based. At the beginning of the game, we choose the archetype of our mage – the ones prepared by the authors include a necromancer, an alchemist, or an inventor at our disposal, but we can also create our own character. The choice of specialization is important because of the spells and skills that can be learned later – affecting the nature of the campaign.
