Disciples: Liberation

Disciples: Liberation is a promising RPG with rich stories and compelling tactical combat, but nothing quite makes it a must-play.

Disciples: Liberation is not a coup or a revolution, but it tries to do everything right. Yes, it has flaws, but the developers did an excellent job for the first big game.

If you enjoy turn-based combat, army management, plenty of text to read, and a dark fantasy story, you absolutely can’t miss this game right now. The massive amount of content and the solid technical and graphical execution make it a masterpiece. Taking a quick look at the graphics and music, I can only say that the developers did a great job. In any case, I’m very glad I played Disciples: Liberation, and I’m happy to recommend it to anyone who enjoys the classic Disciples and King’s Bounty series.

A bold and fun RYO-Strategy that highlights our stories and choices in an ancient universe.

New excursion in well-know yet this time very different fantasy world was succesfull.

As interesting and tactical as that combat system is, I couldn't get past the fact that Disciples: Liberation was asking 80 (or more) hours of a person's time with so little payoff. I just found the whole thing too relentlessly miserable to connect with. It's possible to create a dark setting and still have moments of warmth, beauty and joy. Tolkien understood that. Perhaps those that have been inspired by him should be more diligent students.

Disciples: Liberation is a tactical RPG based on a dark fantasy world in which decision-making will determine the course of events in our history, as well as offering many hours of gameplay.

While the quests are thin, Disciples: Liberation has a fantasy world where good and evil don’t feel like a huge factor. It gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the game’s tactical combat, cleverly using your units in each encounter. You’ll use the quests to assist you in bolstering your forces to ensure you come out on time with the right allies on your side, leading to the ultimate conflict.

"Disciples: Liberation is a very enjoyable fantasy game that mixes turn-based combat with real-time exploration and a smidge of simulation / city-building. It can be a risk trying to balance these different elements, but kudos to the development team for striking a satisfactory balance. I really enjoyed my time with this game and it is pretty easy to sink a few dozen or so hours into it. Fans of strategy / RPG titles will find a lot to like here and should definitely give Disciples: Liberation a look." - Nick "So overall, even with the shift of the Disciples series with Disciples: Liberation to a more real-time and turn-based tactics RPG than the older entries of “player versus player” styles, it’s in good shape. The shift isn’t a bad one but as mentioned above, a few small tweaks could definitely help to polish this off even further regardless of if you decide to drop into this dark and intriguing world on the PC or on the consoles at the beginning of next month." - Pierre-Yves' PC Preview (https://chalgyr.com/2021/09/preview-pc-disciplesliberation.html)

Disciples: Liberation was a game I started out intrigued by. It seemed my thing, and I wanted to like it. After I started playing it though, I moved from wanting to like it to simply wanting to like something about it. Eventually, I ended up just playing it to get through it, which is the death knell for any game. After all, if a game’s not fun, what’s the point?
