    Disciples is back with a very interesting and lengthy campaign and addictive turn-based battles. A clear recommendation if you are interested in this genre.

    Disciples: Liberation is a fantastic experience. From the engaging story to the deep but approachable Strategy RPG combat, this is the type of game to suck players in until the wee hours of the morning. There aren't many games like Disciples: Liberation on the market these days, especially when the old champion, Might and Magic, has become an autobattler. Disciples: Liberation a welcome breath of fresh air that delivers hope for the future of the Strategy RPG genre.

    Liberation severed all ties with Disciples’ strategic heritage. There’s only one playable faction, and our capital exists in a separate dimension so it never gets attacked. The resources are abundant, units and items are cheap, and fights are easy, so that nothing would distract the player from following the story. [Issue#258, p.58]

    A lot of content, yet too easy for pros. Disciples enthusiasts better prepare for some adjustments.

    Disciples: Liberation is a vast turn-based/ RPG/ city management hybrid that would have been great if some aspects of the game were trimmed down. The core ideas behind the gameplay are implemented well. Skills, units, battle mechanics, dialog choices are classy. On the other hand, the writing is juvenile and the low level of challenge can make the game feel tedious.

    Disciples: Liberation takes us on an epic adventure through a Dark Fantasy world that is filled with conflict and pain. The compelling narrative, characters and the tough decisions you have to make again and again to balance your standing in the four factions are what drives this game forward. The gameplay alone wouldn’t be able to motivate us for the 80 hour adventure, it is just to simple. The combat rarely presents a challenge and with the abundance of resources loses are easily replaced. We still had a lot of fun, since the roleplay aspect of the game works well enough.

    An overly simplified simplification that winks at the audience of casual players displeasing the old ones is at the same time the cross and the delight of the new chapter of Disciples. Other than this, the "role-playing" developments of the plot could have been more effective.

    It is really a great game, maybe sometimes a little bit easy through the conquer mode, but a great story with different endings and you canIt is really a great game, maybe sometimes a little bit easy through the conquer mode, but a great story with different endings and you can really see the developers spend all their ability, blood and tears to make this a very nice experience. Don't listen to all those haters out there who want a game from the past (the last Disciples game came out 10 years ago and needed to be refreshed). Expand

    It's not DISCIPLES!!! This is some kind of mobile phone game consisting of a cross between Kings Bounty and Heroes of Might & Magic, and in their worst manifestations. For working on the game, I put a two, although there is a lot of this for the attitude towards the fans ((((((

    Strong Independent Disciples. Another franchise ruined. They had no new ideas, no improvements to make so they just went political.

    For staring this in not a Disciple game - just overpriced cheap mobile game with below mediocre gameplay and story falsely advertised asFor staring this in not a Disciple game - just overpriced cheap mobile game with below mediocre gameplay and story falsely advertised as related to beloved franchise

    Decision to block game for 11 countries because of unfinished foreign language (Russian) localization is outright insulting - there are more immigrants from Russia living in USA that Russian-speaking people in these countries, but they did not delay release for USA...
