SpellForce 2 allows you to feel like a hero in the world of Eo, filled with magic. This world is filled with dark creatures that arose from the darkness. Only the main character, a descendant of an ancient dragon and the Shaikan family, is able to resist them. The user can fight alone, or enlist the support of 5 permanent assistants, who are the main character's brothers by blood, and 2 temporary ones, chosen by the user himself.By completing tasks, the hero will receive experience points that affect his level. Accordingly, the higher it is, the more abilities can be learned. Level 30 is the maximum. Skills in SpellForce 2 are divided into magical and combat, there are 19 of them in total. In addition, you can upgrade an already upgraded skill twice to make it more effective.The game has three different modes:
- Campaign – battles linked by a storyline and built into a single narrative.
- Fight – a battle against artificial intelligence, victory in which can be achieved by completely destroying your opponent.
- Free play – the ability to go on a journey with only one character.
Among other things, to use time more rationally in the Campaign, you can quickly move between locations using magic stones, as well as summon companions. There are three races in the game: Union, Clans and Pact. You can play for each of them in all three modes. In addition to upgrading the hero, the player can build a base and hire an army. For this, the game has three types of resources: silver, stones and magical sloth plants.
