Enchanted (video game)

Enchanted is a 2007 real-time strategy (RTS) and role-playing game (RPG) hybrid developed by SplitSecond Games and published by SouthPeak Games. It features a fantasy setting where players control a hero and a band of followers, exploring a world and completing quests.

Gameplay blends traditional RTS elements, such as resource management and base building, with RPG elements, including character progression, inventory management, and skill development. Players can gather resources to construct buildings and train units, while also leveling up their hero and equipping them with items found throughout the game world.

The game focuses heavily on hero customization and the development of their skills and abilities. Different hero classes are available, each with unique strengths and weaknesses, influencing the player's strategic approach. Units also gain experience and can be upgraded to become more powerful.

Enchanted's campaign features a story-driven narrative, with multiple factions and storylines. The game also includes a skirmish mode, allowing players to engage in battles against the AI or other players online.

The game received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising its blend of RTS and RPG mechanics but noting issues with its execution and technical performance. Common criticisms included repetitive gameplay, a weak AI, and occasional bugs.
