Reviews of Forge of Tharsis 3: Final Conflict
by malek of Idiot Map Making Collective
Forge of Tharsis 3 is the trilogy's final installment that takes the player to a realm called the Hellmath. Out of nowhere, we see Satan and a headless Balor duking it out and their forces clashing one another. Meanwhile, you're leading a third-party through the terrain to fight both troops. It sounds like a classic badass melee a Trois, except it isn't. Balor defeats Satan almost easily.
So the rest of the time is just spent taking out soulless and thrall with catapults and a dragon. I played this level on Legendary and managed to beat it with no sweat. I was able to immobilize Balor from a distance by turning him into stone via a catapult spell. I then stormed the center of the map with all of my melee units, taking out Balor and every remaining thrall with no concern.
I will admit I had a fair bit of fun with the dragon and catapults, but otherwise, I didn't think this mod was very exciting or challenging. It is because of the dragon and the catapults that I am giving this mod two stars. So I will argue that this is the best of the FoT trilogy, but otherwise, I still found this to be lackluster. :(
