What our customer's say!

"Fun Fun Fun", This game is a great game for a turn based game. The graphics are pretty good. And the themes of the game are great choices. I would get this game again. Without a second thought.

"I wouldnt call it "strategy"", A few people think Disciples 2 is the apex of strategy- but here's why it isnt.

1. Placing your units within their group (each group has 6 spaces). The guy who wrote a review before said this is a strategic element. Here's the strategy- Put your archers in back. Put your melee guys in front... I hope i didnt spoil it for you.

2. Combat- Yeah, you have to make sure you attack certain guys in a certain order to get rid of as many as fast as possible, but its not tricky. In fact, its not any more than common sense.

3. Missions- They're all "different" but the same. You start with the same leader. You have to rebuild your army each mission- and its exactly the same everytime. There's no need to switch up tactics. Essentially- you play the same mission over and over and over. Except the mission just gets longer. Or perhaps thats just the monotony that makes me thing that.

4. On each mission you build up your base, which isnt strategic either. Each building gives you access to a unit upgrade. You get 4 kinds of units that arent your leader- Fighter, archer/mage, big monster(ie dragon) small monster (ie werewolf). If you want your fighters to deal more damage, you biuld one biulding. If instead you want them to deal less damage but be immune to the first fire attack, you build a different one. And if you dont like your choice, deal with it. You cant get both trees in a single mission. So you get a variety of 4 units. And usually, only 2 are even worth using.

There's no deep strategy- its all common sense. Just make sure you dont pay for this. If you want real strategy- try starcraft, or close combat, or tetris, or pacman. Whatever.

"Get this game!", If you have money to buy ONLY one turn-based fantasy strategy game, there's only one that will suit your needs, Disciples II. The graphic, depth, artwork, gameplay and overall quality of this game is very high. I do not suggest you buy the two separate companion games, Guardian of Light and Servants of the Dark. They are each 1/2 of the original game. Instead, buy Disciples 2: Rise of the Elves. That game will include the core Disciple 2 game and the expansion, Rise of the Elves. Again, do NOT buy "Servants of the Dark" and "Guardian of Light."

Anyway, back to the game. In this game, simply choose one of the races (Demons, Dwarves, Human, Undead, and later Elves) and try to conquer the entire map. There are two main resources, gold and mana. You need the gold for buildings and hiring units. But you also need mana to cast some spells which can help turn the tide of battle. Remember, unlike Warcraft, gold and mana are in unlimited supply, so you do not have to worry about running out of resources.

Your units are grouped in a stack of 6 and get upgraded as you win battles. There are very different units for different races. For example, only humans have healer, while the dwarves and demons tend to have powerful melee fighters (like Giants and Greater Demons). Usually, you tend to have one very powerful stack and create a lot of weaker stacks for fodders. This is overall a very enjoyable game and quite addicting. Even if you can't find someone to play with in multiplayer mode, the campaign is fun and interesting. At the cost of this game selling today, get it now! You can thank me later.

"Very Good Turn-Based Strategy Game", As of this writing, this game is pretty old. However, I'd just like to add my two cents: This is a very good turn-based strategy game. You can play either the stand-alone scenarios or the story-based sagas (I played the latter). You can play through the sagas as any of the four races. And, since the sagas are different for each race, you really should play each race. Also, within each race's saga, you can play with a focus as a Warrior, a Magician, or the Guild (a Thief?). Each focus will add a different twist to the way you play. Plus, no matter what focus you choose, you can create and use five different types of heroes. Only three of them (Warrior, Magician, and Explorer) are really good for transferring from scenario to scenario. But, regardless, there's a huge replay value in this game.

The problems I have with this game are minor. The biggest problem is that when you transfer a hero to the next scenario, you can only transfer the HERO and five items. The party members you've spent all that time training don't transfer. Also, the spells that you've researched don't transfer either. This means that at the start of each scenario, you spend a lot of time just getting your party members up to a usable stage. Another problem is that you have to choose your upgrade path for your party members at a global level. It would have been really nice to have each city have its own upgrade path for the characters it generates. The last quibble that I'll talk about is that the cities themselves aren't of much use. Capturing a city doesn't give you any inherent income or resource streams. If there are sources of that stuff outside the city and within its area of influence, then you get those streams. The problem is that you can do the same thing by having a hero just plant rods at the resources.

I highly recommend this game. Old as it is, it's still fun to play.

"Epic", Disciples II is a good game. Most everything about it conveys a sweeping epic feel to it. Awe-inspiring music and graphics/artwork abound. During combat, the backgrounds change according to what type of terrain or location - if you fight on territory held by the Mountain Clans, you will be fighting on a cold wintry field; likewise, if you are fighting in lands held by the demonic Legions of the Damned your background will be a twisted, hellish place - and of course, if you attack an opponent's city your background will be, well...like a city and attacking an enemy on the water, your background will be as if on a ship.
The graphics during combat are always fun to watch - these are awesome pre-rendered artwork animations imported into the game, not pixellated blocky graphics. The music conveys a sense of both granduer and urgency - like a Conan the Barbarian-type movie with an epic score. The music really does enhance the overall feel and experience.
On the downside though, I've discovered that this game does get a bit boring and repetitive after a while. Playing only against the computer in single-player mode contributes greatly to this situation (in fact, every single computer game I've ever played falls prey to this conundrum). If I was to play real live humans via the internet, I imagine it would vastly and exponentially increase the fun factor.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"oh...disappointing...", I thought it would be better..
Now I think that it's not even better than it's precurser...

"Wow!", I was stunned at first that I had even picked up the game because in my past experance, any turn based stratedy game execept for Heros of Might and Magic series, didn't quite fit the bill. Well this one did. I am an extreme Strategist and I loved versitility such as was presented. I am a very staisfied customer, and I am sure any true fan of turn based strategy will want to add this trinket to their collection.

"great gameplay combined with SUPERB graphics", To be honest, the heroes of might and magic series have always offered very addictive gameplay, but their graphics have always been too cartoonish. Then I played the demo of Disciples 2 and I noticed how magnificent the graphics are. They are just the best in the slew of games in its genre. The unit animations on the map as well as in the battle sequences are smooth and professional. The map is great also with its waterfalls flowing into lakes and lava pools boiling. The best part of the graphics is the battle scenes. You get a very close view of each battle depicting the monsters and heroes in their full might. The units are big and sometimes downright huge but they are prerendered beautifully. Then the battle animations... The only way I can describe them is by saying WOW!

The graphics are accompanied with great gameplay. You really have to use strategy and think in a tactical way to succeed in this game. The town screens aren't confusing at all which is the case with heroes of might and magic 4. With just a right click, you can gain access to all the information you need about what your cursor happens to be pointing at at that moment. The interface is clean and intuitive.

The unit potraits are works of art!! They are all hand-drawn and the overall design of the game is dark and epic. The stories for each of the 4 clans are very satisfying and besides these 4 sagas, there are a lot of stand-alone maps and quests that you can play. The objectives are almost always interesting, other than destroy the enemy all the time, which a lot of games base their campaigns on. One time you need to protect a certain town, another time you need to protect a certain unit from the enemy. These types of different campaigns require the gamer to use different kinds of strategies every time. This is why the game doesn't get old and tiresome at all. It always finds a way to get interesting and make you want to play.

Besides all that ready-to-play stuff, the game has an editor included, which allows gamers to create their own sagas and stories. This is one of those games which make you want to play "just one more turn!" Its gorgeous graphics combined with the addictive and extremely fun gameplay make this game a MUST-HAVE for turn-based strategy gamers out there. Even if you haven't played any turn-based game, this would be a good start because Disciples 2 presents the BEST in the genre so far.

"Turn Based Heaven", As a man who loves turn-based games, I have to give this game the highest rating. I almost didn't because it doesn't have play by email. But, it seems that I am one of the very very few PBEM players left, so the makers can't see any demand. The reason I bumped it back to 5 stars is because it does have hotseat play (multiplayer on one system). My son and I both appreciate that feature.

My system is maxed out cutting-edge tech, so I can't say if there are any bugs to worry about; on my system (64MB accelerator with 512 RAM) it is absolutely gorgeous. As you decide what to do, you can watch flocks of birds cross the map, and enjoy the beautiful waterfalls. The graphics that come up when spells are cast are also very sweet eye candy! Of course, that is all fluff - the real meat is in gameplay. It is a very challenging game. The size of your parties are limited by the leader they have, and the items you can utilize are limited by the type of leader that is carrying them. You can't always have the right group with the right equipment go up against the right enemy - and taking on an enemy when you aren't fully prepared can be costly! One character I really like is the thief; he can steal, spy, assassinate and do other underhanded deeds - but he can also get caught! That can be very costly, and resources are usually a bit tight in this game.

I could go on and on about little things I like about the game, but suffice it to say that is very enjoyable and highly recommended. But don't cry to me when you realize that you have to go to work in 2 hours and you've been up all night thinking, "Just one more turn!"

Good gaming!

"Never had 3 hours go by faster...", Very engrossing game, you get sucked in and keep telling your self "next turn I'll take a break." If you're a fan of turn based strategy, this is definately worth the dough. Stunning visuals, great story, which compliment each other during this epic game. I would only say 1 flaw might be that your time for other things will be strictly limited once you get your copy of this game, it's a real time eater. But then again isn't that the point??
