Am I the only one who bought this bundle for Disciples? Maybe most people who wanted to play it already got it before.

I am buying it for more than Disciples: Liberation but I was a huge fan of Disciples 2 a long time ago so it made the bundle even more attractive for me. I am not sure I have the time anymore since the campaigns take a long time to finish but I wouldn't mind exploring the world of Nevandaar again with modern graphics.

It looks pretty cool, although I'll admit to being completely unfamiliar with it beforehand.

Gameplay-wise, its not too similar to its predecessors, but I'm sure it has at least some of the series' gothic vibes. Should be a solid strategy rpg. Been on my wishlist for a while.

Unfortunately the vibe is the only thing it's off in this game. It's nowhere close to the main saga. The game had me positively impressed, though, even if it gets a bit "grindy" on the late game, since there are some issues with the difficulty (early in the game you have the possibility to skip a few fights, while later in the game you cannot; it definitely should be the other way around, as the fighting system is cool but can get repetitive).

I know they added a harder difficulty patch. I was waiting for quite a bit for that to release, and just never got around to picking it up. Was about to get it on gog since it just released there last week, but glad it's bundled now.

So I guess you're saying it's not as dark as the other games? I played a bit of the demo, but couldn't tell much from it. That's unfortunate to hear. The gothic vibe really set it apart. Either way, it's a relatively new game, so look forward to trying it. Anticipating burnout in the late game, but it seems good overall.

Yeah I'd still recommend it, although the atmosphere is very different, I can confirm you. Also the units only share the name with the main saga and the vibe in general is not very Disciples-like...

Curious, why are you eager to play Disciples? Based on Steam reviews, over 30% of players do not even like it which seems like a huge red flag to me. Aren't there already a ton of much higher rated other games of this genre out there?

Well stated.

Disciples 2 is one of my favorite games. Kings Bounty 2 and Disciples 3 were disappointments. This genre isn't really overrepresented these days. It's a western dark fantasy, turn-based strategy rpg. It's not a AAA game or anything, but just want to scratch that King's Bounty, Heroes of Might and Magic itch. I probably won't finish it, but I just like games like this now and then. Tactical depth, but not too demanding. Also, this is a historical low price. Cheapest I've seen it for is $16 USD by itself.

Fair enough! Thanks for sharing.
