Disciples III - Renaissance Steam Special Edition

This game makes me sad. I loved Disciples II, and I really wanted to like the third version, but the longer I played the game the more I kept asking myself "why?" The story is drivel. You have to fully watch the 20 second animation for every spell you cast. The user interface is a completely overwraught, tangled mess. Worse there's no gameplay to speak of. See, all the difficulty is frontloaded. The first ~20 turns...

After playing previous games in the series, and finishing all the Heroes games but still wanting a fix of this sort of game, I ended up getting this on a bundle sale. Started disappointing due to the clunky dialog and lacklustre gameplay, but I continued on if only to keep me visually stimulated whilst listening to audiobooks (the background musics alright, but not for over 50 hours of play). Midway the bugs started...

OK, let's say "recommended" because the dark fantasy universe is really nice and because that makes a good-looking tactical RPG catchy enough to stay stucked on it a few hours.

Although the story is quite interesting and I wanted to find out what will happen next, the battles are so...

If you can get over that it's not like disciples 2, then you'll probably see that this game is nice. +Atmoshere (can say that's the best thing about the game) +Music +Battle (yes i liked it) +Solid gameplay -Voice acting. Seriously it's the worst voice acting i've ever heard. ever. -Gets repetitve after a while. -Not very good use of map design. Looks great, but gamplay-wise feels kinda empty. I've played worse...

70 hours in and all campaigns complete except Elven final. After first being disapointed when comparing to the classic D2 this game rocks and still brings on the table what made original Disciples II + expansions such classic games. 'Good ol' Disciples!' is what a scarred veteran would say. If you are experienced with the series you will dislike the tactical map and some bugs/balance issues as the game was rushed to...
