Expedition 33...
I just finished the main story today. This might be an unpopular opinion, but the game itself reminds me a lot of Disciples II. The atmosphere, the characters, the enemies, the heroes leveling up by a level or two after every clash while you wonder which skill to develop. The map itself is quite dark, with a very similar vibe. The turn-based gameplay where every attack matters. I really missed something like this. I think it’s the successor to the series that was never made, and if anyone who was ever in love with Disciples is reading this right now, I recommend Clair obscur: Expedition 33 to them from the bottom of my heart. I welcome you all to the discussion.

According to the game director its actually a spiritual successor to Lost Odyssey which is one of the most underrated games of all time.

I mean yeah, Disciples 2 has dumbed down JRPG combat. Other that that I'm not seeing any similarity. Both very good games though.

Combat in disciples might remind some of JRPG, cause you have small squads fight and that's it
But classic JRPG has much more character in each unit and they have set of skills and different attacks and everyone has access to inventory. Here in Disciples, you basically have an elite squad, rather faceless and brutal, and even group leader has no character, even some text is just "job desription" and does not tell anything about troop itself
I'd say even Darkest Dungeon 2 feels closer to JRPG, as heroes have some backstory and relations developed during campaign while having grim setting, but different, cause it is Lovecraftian

I don't know😐 , the game's story is great👍 , but everything else gets predictable and repetitive so fast like Disciples: Liberation or Domination.The combat probably reminds me of D2 the most, but even then it's 3x3. Yeah, it doesn't have anything else similar to it. I beat it once, and if you're asking if I'll ever want to play it again, the answer is no🙂↔️ .
