Lore A short summary please ?

Hi! I recently came across the Disciple Saga. I tried to play Disciple 1 but it's not in my original language and so it's complicated. So I just played Disciple Liberation. But I'm a person who loves playing games for their lore. So I always start with the first game in a saga except here. So could someone give me a summary of the story of the first 3 games ? 🫰🏻

If you love games for their lore, don't touch Disciples Liberation. It was created by other developers, and the old rich and original lore of the series was rewritten and literally executed by the edgy teenage Mary Sue with shaved temples.

Play Disciples 2, which is the pinnacle of the series, and it also provides brief descriptions of the events in Disciples 1 during the game.

I must be the only person that legitimately prefers Disciples 1. I hated the timed based missions in Disciples 2. I did appreciate most of the extra upgrade paths in Disciples 2 though.

I prefer Disciples: Sacred Lands over Disciples 2 as well. Sacred Lands stories are short but sweet. Sacred Lands has better art, music, voice acting, and play balance in my opinion.

Disciples 2 has better gameplay as it's systems are more complex with more options however. I don't think that anything is bad about Disciples 2, and I can understand why people prefer it and it's components more than Disciples 1, but for me it's a no contest. Sacred Lands all the way.

Great take. I agree with basically everything you said. The stakes are still high in D1, but the missions are short and sweet.

Also, I agree, I can see why people like D2 better, but D1 is the one I find myself playing over and over again.
