The graphics are great, the concept is also interesting. The only thing is combat, which becomes surprisingly boring after a while since there isn't much tactics involved in it. It would have been nice if units could move, and mages could cast a variety of spell rather than just one simple attack. Other than that the game is quite a lot of fun.

I great game, though it requires a lot pf patience and skill. I would not recommend it to a person who enjoys fast-paced action but is great if you want a game with strategic depth.

It's like "mini" Heroes of Might & Magic or Age of Wonders, but it's totally different. Spells for blessing, cursing, damaging and healing and plenty of army upgrades.

Great graphics for its time. Turn base is a very fun game style. The only con is the battles are not very detailed i would of liked to see the characters at least attack the selected character instead of attack nothing right in front of them. (for some ranged units and fighters).

A wonderful masterpiece by Strategy First. To anyone who played the original, Disciples Sacred Lands, you'll know exactly what you are getting into. Disciples 2: Dark Prophecy is for all intents and purposes a straight up upgrade over the first. With an interesting storyline revolving around 4 very charming factions, ranging from dwarves to demonic legions, it is mostly in text format but certainly worth going through. Not the least because of the amazing and outstanding atmosphere of Disciples 2. The isometric map feels oddly alive and sinister, the music is great and the art style is very well done. The one downside this has is that items can be easy to miss on the actual map, with groups of enemies hidden behind objects. Gameplay itself is all about your base, the map but most importantly you units. Disciples 2 is a slow game, leveling and training your leader and his units takes quite a significant time investment but it's a joy to do so. Combat on the other hand is very quick. Units do not actually move around in combat and combat itself is also done in turns, and if you pick the wrong target or neglected to use an item for one turn you can quickly end up losing the encounter. Furthermore, Disciples 2 adds the ability to defend and 'wait', subtle improvements over Disciples Sacred Lands that add a new depth to the combat. A slow, slow game. But a fantastic one at that. Great turn based strategy, fantastic atmosphere. Definitely one to buy.… Expand

Graphics are detailed but still confusing, becomes boring after a short while, because of the fights, which are always the same style with no strategic depth. Menus for building and creating troops/buildings are clear an constructed. But finally it is just a warm up of an old game concept, which could have used more innovations

Repetitive gameplay, austere combat that feels mostly down to luck early on, a confusing world map and bulky interface combined with a storyline that has been done to death, Disciples 2 simply does not invite the player to step into its world despite some of the very appealing art work.

A nearly faultless turn-based strategy game with some RPG elements, Disciples II is surprisingly addictive. It featured gorgeous graphics for its time, and that in conjunction with the eery soundtrack created an atmospheric and immersive gameplay experience that still holds up today.
