Spellforce is a blend of rpg and rts, and this game manages this blend masterfully. Most of the game is very heavy on real time strategy elements, but through the entire game you have your main character that will keep gaining experience, skills and equipment. The game is divided into maps, and almost every map have a lot of territory to explore and many side quests for those who enjoy such diversions. Some maps play more like traditional rpg games where you only have your main character and a party of heroes. On such maps, you either explore the wilderness or a huge city in traditional rpg style.
