    The game is really awful. It has nothing in common with the past parts. Even all the world design has been thrown into the trash can. I hope this game will be the last one for the developers and they won't be cramming the world with their masterpieces again.

    Horrible execution, idiotic decisions from Frima and Kalypso.
    This abomination is not Disciples, it's an overpriced mobile grindfest.
    I hope it fails and goes down in flames.

    Game wanted to subvert our expectations yet it failed miserably.
    No feedback from developer during production, ignoring suggestions from fans.
    Kalypso intentionally murdered this game.

The art is gone, the setting tries to be grimdark but the voice overs make it silly, you cant evolve units, the terrain stays teh same etc etc.

    Good effort but honestly if you want to succeed you should stay as close to the roots as possible and branch from there.

    unit evolution is missing, terrain change is missing, new races are missing, DO NOT CHANGE LORE, fixed main character why????

    Missed opportunity, because this time kalypso chose a good company in frima but cant comprehend what makes the franchise good.

    TIP FOR KALYPSO next time ask the player base what they want, did you not learn from the failure of the third game anything?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это не Disciples. Это не пошаговая стратегия. Это не тёмное фентези. И оказывается, что и богов тоже нет. Это рпг с пошаговыми боями. Больше всего похоже на Kings Bounty. С атмосферой Diablo. Точнее дешманского клона для телефона. Тут нет и грамма от духа Приверженцев. А есть убого нарисованные, дешёвые модельки, которые не соответствуют юнитам из предыдущих частей. Юниты всех фракций можно купить в одной столице. Лор полностью уничтожен. Пошаговые битвы в духе третьей(не самой лучшей) части. Я надеюсь, что эта поделка провалится.

Grind for the sake of opening a secret ending to find out... that the lore of the series has been so perverted that it would be better not to start the game at all.

    Lore. Raped, retconed, rewrited. One race (dwarves) was ejected, others re-"worked" to the ground. Idea of the DISCIPLES of Gods was destructed, cause the GODS no longer exist as such.

    Bugs and Testing. Lots of bugs and disgusting optimization even on the lowest graphics settings. ignoring fans' suggestions during the alpha- and beta-testings.

    In conclusion: this game isn't and don't Disciples. It is anything else except Disciples, because Calipso naturally spat in the face of a Disciples fandom with their odd job. Fandom keping series alive for the past ten years.

I am against violence against the lore of the game, I am against bad character design, bad plot, which negates everything that has been since Disciples: Sacred Land and ending with Disciples 3 Reincarnation. We have been waiting for a new game for 10 years so that it would become a worthy heir. And they got a summons, LGBT relationships, text sex, a disgusting continuation of the lore game.

Not to mention mechanics from Idle mobile game that has absolutely no place in single-player tactical games. For example you need to wait in real time for resources production and login to collect resources now and then otherwise they will stop producing after a short while

    The decision to ban this game for almost 1 months after release in 12 countries for no good reason just stupid.
    Also there are many reports that people who bough game outside of Steam/Epic are now not able to see their game in their libraries at all...

    The only nice thing this game has is graphics, but music, story, characters are meh, and combat fells good for an hour or two, but then feels too repetitive and slow so you'll skip all battles you can skip (and that would be more than 50% of all battles outside quests)

    * graphics is OK

    Cons:
    * music
    * story
    * characters
    * repetitive battles
    * distribution politics
    * mechanics from Idle mobile games

    Well, this one is difficult. On one hand, I can't deny I had some fun with the game, all things considered, on the other hand, it has lots and lots of idiotic design decisions.

    The game was made by Frima, developer who primarily has experience in the mobile market, and boy, it shows. Disciples Liberation is a Kings Bounty clone with base building. Constructing buildings, hiring units,    Well, this one is difficult. On one hand, I can't deny I had some fun with the game, all things considered, on the other hand, it has lots and lots of idiotic design decisions.

    The game was made by Frima, developer who primarily has experience in the mobile market, and boy, it shows. Disciples Liberation is a Kings Bounty clone with base building. Constructing buildings, hiring units, and upgrading equipment costs resources (and there's a lot of them, like not just gold but 7 types). How does one gather so many various resources in what is ultimately a real-time game, you ask? Well, of course, you gather it in REAL TIME. Yes, that's right, you conquer mines on various world maps with your army, and that gives you resources per hour. Once every few hours, you have to return to Yllian (your capital base), and manually click on "gather" to add the mined resources to your stockpile. Overcomplicated? Yes. Completely unnecessary? Yes. Copied from mobile games without further thought? Yes.

    Combat is turn-based, and is very flashy. Units are quite varied, and even if there aren't dwarves this time around, there's a ton of units and companions you can bring along to fight so the game doesn't get stale. Well, not until late game, anyways. Combat is super easy, anyone who wants a challenge should play on hard at a minimum, as normal presents no obstacle whatsoever, and you will regularly stomp even higher level enemies. Now, there is a special place in hell for whoever implemented the ultimate abilities your heroes get later in the game. You see, EVERY battle is decided on the first two turns, tops. The longest battles are with bosses and even those take like 7-8 turns maximum. Ultimate abilities, unlike all other abilities, begin on cooldown at the start of combat (standard: 5 turns). That means you can use them only 5 turns into combat. By then, every single fight except boss fights will be over... I don't know who thought this is a good design, but "imbecilic" is the appropriate word for it. I have 70 hours in this game, and I have NEVER seen a single ultimate ability in action. Game also encourages you to finish fights asap, because if you drag them, enemies will eventually start killing your units, which is something you obviously don't want to do.

    The main heroine, Avyanna, is the modern archetype of a strong, independent woman. She is super special, chosen by destiny, of course, and great at everything. At the very least, it's explained why she is so great and powerful. This is the core messaging of the game - all females are regal and powerful (Ormeriel, Illmeren...), and all males are either stupid (Baghtal), or a laughing stock (Orion). Avyanna can also sleep with anybody, and I mean anybody - she can treat anyone and anything, no matter if male, female, undead bone golem, etc., as a **** The game is woke af, and what it's trying to say is obviously that males are here to please women, and women are above all. A redeeming point for the main antagonist being a woman, too, though.

    The game looks like it will have a lot of replayability at first glance. To recruit the strongest units from each of the four factions (Humans, Undead, Demons, and Elves), you need to upgrade your reputation with them to the highest level, which is not easy. Also, the game seems like it has a lot of choices in its dialogues. It encourages you to play through it multiple times. But that is an illusion. Besides trying a different factions, I see no point in playing this twice. The choices aren't real, the outcome of quests and the game itself will be more or less the same no matter what you do.

    The devs also very much like to waste your time. There are two unskippable logo animations you are forced to watch every time the game is launched, there is, of course, the launcher, which offers zero functionality other than spying on you and showing you ads for their other games (I am not kidding - there is literally nothing there, you cannot even adjust game options from it), and every time you finally get to the main menu, you are greeted by a giant prompt to leave a review... which cannot be dismissed permanently, and doesn't go away even if you do leave the damn review on Steam. Absolutely appaling.

    The Disciples lore has been butchered, the game connects to the atrocious Disciples 3 and there are tons of references, but it doesn't respect the lore in any meaningful way.

    So why the 4 stars if it's so bad on so many levels? Well, if you pretend that this is not Disciples, and turn your brain off, you can have fun with the game and I certainly had some. So, I am not giving it 0/10 but I can't give it a high score either, for reasons stated above. If you want a cheap King's Bounty clone with nice graphics, you won't go wrong with this one, but for Disciples, replay the 2nd one. It will never be surpassed.    … Expand

    Disciples: Liberation brings some interesting new ideas to the series, but that doesn’t mean they’re all good. I didn’t like the fact that the game forces you to choose between the bad guy and the very bad guy by making choices that many times don’t make sense. In the end, Liberation is saved by the incredibly well-done tactical combat system that provide a lot of fun, especially when you find that combo that wipes out almost all enemies on the map in just one turn. Although it’s not really what I expected, I believe Disciples: Liberation is worth playing and definitely warrants a sequel.

    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]

    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.
