Skip it if you…

Our take on SpellForce 2 - Anniversary Edition
The store presentation foregrounds a broad fantasy mix and a stated playtime of over 90 hours, but the package consists of an original game plus an add-on. That duration applies to the campaigns as presented together, not to a separately stated length for each included title.
What is SpellForce 2 - Anniversary Edition?
This edition includes SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars and the Dragon Storm add-on.
It combines role-playing with real-time strategy in the fantasy world of Eo, where a hero linked to an ancient dragon faces threats arising from darkness and shadow. Players develop an avatar and other heroes through skill trees, unite heroes with armies, and control factions with three races each. Battles include infantry, mounted and flying units, and titans. The campaigns offer over 90 hours of playing time. Technical changes revise rendering for grass, trees, lighting, shadows, and related graphics features.
