Disciples: Liberation - "a new beginning" for the series

[Sunri]

This game is worse than Disciples 3 I can't believe it.

 

[Blake00]

And yet overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam...

Considering I told them on their official youtube that they'd seriously regret changing it into kings bounty and ignoring disciples fans demands when the angry steam reviews start pouring in I'm gonna have to eat those words now lol.

I still haven't tried it myself due to the retro computer situation.. hopefully by the time I get to it they'll be some addons that made it more palettable to oldschol Disciples fans (ie bringing back mountain clans would go a long way to healing old D3 wounds in the fanbase).. if not well 'apparently' there's a good chance I'm gonna love it anyway lmao.

I played this game for about 15 hours and left when I noticed that I can't upgrade my units beyond some point and have to replace them with new ones. For me it was what make Disciples different to other games like HOMM - I had to be carefull and no experienced unit was spare.

I lost my interest immediately.

So, it was pretty average game as itself, but as a Disciples game it failed spectacularly.

I think somebody suggested that this game was getting positive reviews from King's Bounty fans for not being as bad as King's Bounty II.

 

[deama]

I tried playing it for a few hours but gave up, did not like it at all.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Eh, it's actually mostly positive and has like 300+ concurrent players on steam (with a very unimpressive peak of slightly over 2k as well), so it's not like it's some big hit or anything. But not a flaming trainwreck of KB2's proportions for sure, especially since it looks very low-effort. That said, it really reminds me of those mobile/console/pc hybrids like puzzle quest and while the hayday of such games has passed, they're still a rather safe bet for attracting at least some audience.

Yes, compared to this game Disciples 3 was ... half-decent.

 

[cvv]

Yes, compared to this game Disciples 3 was ... half-decent.

Disciples 3 remake is decent compared to any game. It's a genuinely gud gaym. Sadly it was released without a fanfare so most people aren't aware of it.

I mean it's not unplayable trash, but it's mediocre at best still I tried liberation today, and it was crazy how bad it is especially voice acting that you can't turn off weird battle system and the whole premise of the game one minute I'm getting my ass kicked by some priest and paladins in the sewers 5 minutes later I'm i some ancient city where I can recruit units from all factions it doesn't make any sense I dropped the game after one hour, so I can't say much more lol

haha that's probably it.. all the angry KB2 fans jumping ship and giving good reviews drowning out the unhappy Disciples fans lol.

People on steam forum claimed that they played this game for over 300 hours, and they enjoyed it

If they were Codexers, they would be claiming they had played this game for over 300 hours and it's terrible.

Some people like BDSM and enjoy it. Being ones who recieve pain.
Tastes differ.

It doesn't help that D3 versions are named: Renaissance, Resurrection and Reincarnation. I always forget which one is actually ok and which are shit.

Yep, I hope Boris the marketing guy who came up with this idiocy is back at flipping burgers again.

But yeah, Reincarnation is the actual remake.

Oh the steam page for Resurrection there's reviews from people saying how horrible it is and how this was supposed to be the better version etc etc. Review comments turned off of course so you can't tell them they bought the wrong damn one lol!

[ChildInTime]

I liked it for what it is, but it's no Disciples.

Spoiler

That FINAL final boss was incredibly stupid. And Bethrezen being the only bad guy of the bunch again, meh.

Sneak Peek into Madness

A peek through the door of Disciples: Liberation - Paths to Madness!

Do you dare to face what you see?
Even the slightest glance could drive you mad.
Slowly the door opens with a creak, inch by inch, and a foul smell rises to your nostrils.

A grotesque sight on machines that can only have sprung from a mad mind.
A creature shuffles through a laboratory, you catch a glimpse, and it tightens your throat.

Spoiler

On a table behind the monstrosity, you recognize glowing magical objects that make your blood run cold as they seem to whisper your name.

As carefully as possible, you crawl across the bloody floor to an altar with scrolls on which drawings and notes can be seen.
Just catch a glimpse.

Your mind has to fight with all its might not to fall into madness.

Your mind cannot comprehend the abnormality that presents itself to you. Cautiously you dig deeper and deeper through the scrolls, which makes the madness more and more unreal.

The tree-like creature unsettles you and makes your limbs tremble.

The sight of the sword awakens in you an irrepressible desire to have it at your disposal.

A deafening scream breaks the silence, and a sharp pain is the last thing you feel as life slowly leaves your body.

Blackness envelops you; hope flees.
