  • story

    104 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    22% positive mentions, 71% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The story in this game is a mixed bag, with some praising its continuation of the disciples lore and dark themes, while many criticize it for weak writing, obvious plot holes, amateur voice acting, and a lack of meaningful player choices. Fans of the previous installment may find it a worthy though flawed sequel with decent worldbuilding, but overall, the narrative often feels clichéd, underdeveloped, and disconnected from its potential.

    • “On top the whole thing is packed into an excellent dark story.”
    • “The story is great and there are so many options with all of the different factions and units.”
    • “I found the story quite good; even though I have not played any of the previous games, I never felt lost, even at the start of the game; they do a good job of laying out previous events.”
    • “The story continues, though there are huge plot holes and overall writing and voice acting seem rather amateur.”
    • “I felt like the devs even forgot about some crucial plot points and some of the companions from the first game.”
    • “The gobbledygook plot twists and turns with the puppetmaster pulling that guy’s strings who was subsequently pulling another minion’s strings, who was actually hired by an evil god just had me constantly rolling my eyes.”

    The gameplay in Disciples: Domination largely retains the solid, tactical turn-based style of its predecessor, Disciples: Liberation, with familiar mechanics, unit abilities, and combat structure. While some appreciate the added new faction, mechanics, and smoother combat, many find the experience repetitive, somewhat tedious, and lacking significant innovation or depth to sustain long-term engagement. Overall, it offers enjoyable battles and strategic elements but may feel too familiar and grindy for players seeking fresh gameplay evolution.

    • “Its core gameplay revolves around complex battles featuring up to nine units per side, each with unique abilities, played out on compact battlefields with special tiles and obstacles.”
    • “The gameplay is smoother, the combat is super satisfying, and it’s such a blast to finally have the mountain clans dwarves back.”
    • “I already loved the prequel, Disciples: Liberation, and the developers evolved it so that Disciples: Domination comes with new features and added mechanics to make the game even better.”
    • “The fights, that are the core feature here, are tedious, not engaging, not strategic, just long and tedious, and due to the fact that there are now even fewer units, you just pick one party and hope units won't die too fast.”
    • “The new mechanics are so scarce and not impactful that it did not change the fact that the fights are boring; the main part of the game is boring.”
    • “After playing through the 1st chapter, I'm left thoroughly disappointed, to the point where it's genuinely hard to believe that this work of mediocrity and utterly unnecessary steps back in terms of both gameplay and narrative is actually from the same devs that made Liberation.”

  • graphics

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    39% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for being improved, immersive, and featuring good animations and detailed visuals with high resolutions. However, some users find the art style bland and less memorable compared to previous entries, and occasional technical issues like graphical bugs affect the experience. Overall, visuals are solid but lack the distinctiveness and polish seen in earlier series installments.

    • “The graphics are very good, as are the animations throughout the world and in battles.”
    • “+ The artwork, graphics and surroundings are immersive and beautiful, and the ambient soundtrack is well-crafted and appropriate to the environment.”
    • “Only the graphics have improved—from 640×480 in 1999 to up to 3840×2160 today.”
    • “Instead we get bland graphics, forgettable music, unlikeable main character and long tedious fights with no auto-battle feature.”
    • “The game has technical issues like graphics bugging out or stalling during a strike.”
    • “It is beyond me, marketplace or blacksmith is even worse, I've turned all graphic settings to the lowest, didn't change anything.”

  • music

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The music is generally well-crafted and fitting, with several users praising its atmospheric and immersive qualities, especially in battle and ambient tracks. However, some find the soundtrack forgettable or repetitive due to reused tracks from previous games. Overall, the music enhances the game's environment but lacks distinctiveness for some players.

    • “The soundtrack was well executed again and underscores the menacing atmosphere of Nevendaar.”
    • “I always love the soundtrack, my favourite is still the one from Disciples 3.”
    • “I'm also loving the soundtrack and the very nicely done compendium from the deluxe edition.”
    • “It's a generic fantasy turn-based strategy with no gothic artstyle, no memorable music or storyline.”
    • “Instead we get bland graphics, forgettable music, unlikeable main character and long tedious fights with no auto-battle feature.”
    • “- some battle tracks are re-used from the previous game; more battle music is appreciated.”

  • grinding

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is widely seen as tedious and repetitive, with long battles lacking strategic depth and an auto-battle feature, making resource farming and combat feel monotonous over time. Many players find the core fights unengaging, which diminishes overall enjoyment.

    • “Not because I think the combat system is bad in general, but because it gets tedious in the long run, especially with repetitive battles for resource points.”
    • “But without a convenience feature like automated combat, it will become tedious for many players in the long run.”
    • “The fights, that are the core feature here, are tedious, not engaging, not strategic, just long and tedious; due to having fewer units, you just pick one party and hope units won't die too fast.”

  • atmosphere

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is generally well-executed, with a strong, menacing tone supported by the soundtrack and a visual style coherent with the original series. However, some users feel the spin-off fails to fully capture the distinctive atmosphere of the original titles, particularly Disciples II.

    • “The soundtrack was well executed and underscores the menacing atmosphere of Nevendaar.”
    • “The atmosphere is great.”
    • “Atmosphere and visual style are mostly coherent in their philosophy with the original games.”
    • “There are 2 cons of this game: one is the English voice acting, and the other is that this spin-off saga does not capture the atmosphere of the originals at all (I am thinking about Disciples II, which I still believe to be the top of the series).”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, struggling to maintain 60fps even on high-end hardware like an RTX 3090, resulting in significant performance issues and system strain. Additionally, numerous technical glitches such as audio stuttering, dialogue resets, and UI bugs further hinder the overall experience.

    • “The game doesn't even reach 60 fps with DLSS on ultra performance and all settings on low/ultra low with my specs.”
    • “Performance is terrible; I have an RTX 3090, and just being in Yllien sounds like my PC is fighting for its life and the radiator will soon start its moonlanding mission because takeoff is near.”
    • “When the fight ends with a finishing blow, the sound is stuttering like no tomorrow.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes and freezes during critical battles, notably in the Wotan fight, which can cause progress-blocking glitches. These bugs severely impact the overall gameplay experience.

    • “To get through the whole game with no issues only to encounter a buggy, game-breaking glitch makes this an easy game to avoid.”
    • “Every time at the end of round 2 of the Wotan fight, the game just freezes and closes to desktop.”
    • “So I retry the battle, hoping the result will be different, but sooner or later (sometimes on the first round, sometimes on the third round) the round freezes.”

  • monetization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users criticize the monetization as a blatant cash grab, highlighting low-quality DLC and lack of unique content like bespoke voicelines, which diminishes the overall value.

    • “This is a disgusting cash grab!”
    • “The Daughter of Sin, a unit originally released as part of a low-quality cash grab DLC, still doesn't have bespoke voice lines.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The humor in the game received mixed reactions, with some players finding the unit voice lines hilarious, while others felt the writing was unfunny and poorly executed.

    • “Plus, the unit voice lines are hilarious.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
