Stormy surprise

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 StormTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5 : dramatic, upbeat, heroic - worthy of a winged lizard. However, this exclamation mark is followed by less exciting sounds: Land of DragonsTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer4 sounds like a return to the soundscape of the first SpellForce with a hint of Star Trek, als also Land of ShapersTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer3 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.

This impression is not saved by Lullaby of DeathTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer4, which, sung by Talia, sounds a little like Anno towards the end, but never reaches the beauty of ShadowsongTilman Sillescu, Pierre LangerSpellForce 2: Shadow Wars5 or Dun MoraTilman Sillescu, Pierre LangerSpellForce 2: Shadow Wars5 . Things only get exciting again with Combat the DarkTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5 including its variation and Battle the EvilTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5. 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.
