Alle Drachtung

The fact that I can only praise the first add-on, Dragon Storm , is not only due to the interesting story about the Shaikan, a new playable faction that expands the range of the feel-good races. No, the music was also worth listening to, as it was once again created by Langer and Sillescu. In eleven tracks, they present us with the continuation of their work for the main game, even if this time they are unfortunately not entirely convincing

And yet it starts so well with Dragon Storm : dramatic, upbeat, heroic - worthy of a winged lizard. However, this exclamation mark is followed by less exciting sounds: Land of Dragons sounds like a return to the soundscape of the first SpellForce with a hint of Star Trek, als also Land of Shapers is more restrained. Where the tracks in the main game are of the same quality as Howard Shore's moving compositions for Rohan, here we are more in the marshlands.

Games from the SpellForce-series

SpellForce: The Order of Dawn (2003)

SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars (2006)

SpellForce 3 (2017)

This impression is not saved by Lullaby of Death, which, sung by Talia, sounds a little like Anno towards the end, but never reaches the beauty of Shadowsong or Dun Mora . Things only get exciting again with Combat the Dark including its variation and Battle the Evil. With their interplay of horns, strings and percussion, they really get the action going. A good addition to the familiar, but nothing you couldn't have done without.
