Change your monitor resolution to 800x600 BEFORE launching. Great game, if you played it as a kid. Not really the move for a modern player

It's 2003. My older brother and I are home after school, booting up our windows XP PC, blowing out dust on the Disciples 2 disk before running it and getting sucked into the sacred grimdark lands of Nevendaar. Disciples 2 was a foundational fantasy strategy game experience up there with titles like age of empires, warcraft and starcraft and we chocked up thousands of hours beating every campaign and scenario multiple times. The Mountain Clans faction in Disciples 2 was my first exposure to badass dwarfs and my ingress into dwarfceldom. If you think dwarfs in warhammer and DnD are based, wait till you check out how incredibly stocky and fearsome the children of Wotan are. The Mountain Clans are the thickest and most bearded dwarfs who fight alongside terrifying looking giants wielding massive weapons or wielding elements of magic to bring untold destruction to their foes. The central plotline about kingdoms on the brink of ruin and facing down rising tides of demons and undead is quintessential fantasy storytelling. The devs' passion for roleplaying manifests in many RP-flavored interactions. If you attack an abandoned brewery haunted by zombies, some of your dwarf warriors request that the party linger after the battle to quaff on some pristine and unspoiled barrels of ale. The only criticism from a gameplay standpoint is the somewhat limited roster of units available to each faction compared to modern titles. This shortcoming is shored by a decent range of customizable hero characters that you can deck out with artifacts, banners and boots. The game also features an interesting magic system in the overworld map. You can tap into the winds oof magic to buff units, debuff enemies and nuke them with a plethora of hex and sorcery in your spell arsenal. The sound design is top notch pure fantasy vibes with a chilling undercurrent of horror and devastation. Nevendaar is a realm past its golden years of prosperity. Horror and death await you at every corner, past every knoll and abandoned farmstead, a brutal land teeming with merciless beasts blocking the way. The sound design communicates this imagery very effectively. Years later, I find myself returning to this old timey classic and remembering how fun it was to play video games 20 years ago. With a lot of modern games, I find that there is some anxiety in trying to complete the game or getting through some difficult sections. Disciples 2 brings my adult self right back to my childhood days of carefree gaming and getting immersed in an amazing fantasy world of axe, sword and magic. The game runs smoothly with no crashes. The default hotkeys are super intuitive for a 2003 game and make replaying decades later a pleasant experience. If you like turn based strategy RPG titles set in fantasy, Disciples 2 is an unrivaled and timeless experience and there is nothing quite like it especially in today's gaming market.

One of my favorite games of all time, but it's not for everyone. For new players, let's check the good & the bad to help determine if it's the right game for you. THE GOOD: ■ Awesome art style. ■ Awesome soundtrack. ■ A great story with various perspectives to discover, morally grey and grim. ■ Extremely immersive and atmospheric world. ■ Great boss battles, with more strategic than tactical knowledge required. WHAT MIGHT TURN YOU OFF: ■ It's a slow game, so it's not for people who prefer quick mechanics, quick levelling, and quick solutions. If you mess up choosing the wrong mage, and you're a hundred days in realizing you can't beat the boss, you start over. ■ The battle system is built on a simple and arguably aged mechanic; could bore folk who prefer movable units, grids, etc. ■ Every quest opens and closes with voice acting, but otherwise, you have to read through everything. If you skip that, you'll be guaranteed to not know what the hell is going on. ■ Since the immersion is a huge part of why there are so many diehard fans, if it's not your vibe, you'll have a hard time. ■ Most of the community is Russian, so if you want to get new content, you'll have a hard time finding anything in English. > IF YOU STILL WANT TO BUY THE GAME, BUY RISE OF THE ELVES INSTEAD. ■ Rise of The Elves is the same game, but has more custom maps and a whole another race to play (elves). ■ Gallean's Return (this game) has longer campaigns, but with those your main character is capped through the extension. If that's not your thing, you won't enjoy it as much.
