Outstanding in every way. All of the story elements, fantasy fiction races, and winning design elements have been retained, albeit in greatly enhanced forms that make everything feel fresh.

The exceedingly detailed characters have been perfectly animated, and simply look great regardless of whether they are wielding their swords and axes or casting spells.

DP is addictive. Sitting down to play through a few turns can easily suck hours from your life as a "few turns" becomes 50 turns.

A remarkable, well-designed program. It is challenging and entertaining.

[It] impressed me mightily.

This is an addictive, gorgeous, and challenging game that shoves a pie in the face of those that continue to foster the notion that turn-based strategy gaming is dead.

IGN
One of the more addictive and entertaining strategy titles I've played in quite a while.
84
GameSpot
It's one of those very rare computer games that draws on all the usual fantasy conventions but presents them in truly inspired, artistic form...[It] has an elegant simplicity about it.

Gamer's Pulse
The turn based strategy game was surprisingly fast paced-there is so little waiting that I almost felt like I was playing an RTS.

For well-crafted turn-based strategy with stunning artwork and powerful AI, Disciples II is the way to go. [Apr 2002, p.70]

It provides simple, addictive gameplay for the novice with enough depth for all but the most spreadsheet-crazed war gamer.

GamePen
You won't hear complaints about the graphics, which are absolutely gorgeous. For one, there is a certain style to the artwork; it's not quite anime, but it does have a hint of it.

Computer Games Magazine
A satisfying, complete, and reassuringly familiar gaming experience.

Adrenaline Vault
It grabs hold of the intangible elements of interactive entertainment -- atmosphere, compelling gameplay, and emotion -- and runs with them.

The most remarkable aspect of Disciples II is how carefully all of the units have been balanced. [May 2002, p.82]

Gamezilla!
This game gave me a new respect for turn-based strategy.

Electric Playground
Titles such as "Etherlords" have blown the genre open, and in comparison Disciples II seems markedly dated.
