Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Disciples II has been awarded countless honors for its unique gameplay and challenging scenarios, including game of the year and many editor¹s choice awards. Disciples II Gold is a must for any Disciples fan and a great value for anyone who has never played Disciples before. All of the Disciples II campaigns and hundreds of hours of gameplay in one adventure-packed box.

Dark Prophecy
A decade has past since the first Great War of the original Disciples game. The final prophecy continues to unfold. Deep in the crevices of the Sacred Lands, the Chosen One has emerged, fated to bring salvation to some and destruction to others. Playing as one of four races, gamers must take up the sword and fight for the glory of their God.

Servants of the Dark
Servants allows gamers to play the two "evil" races, while the Disciples story continues to unfold. Play as either the Legions of the Damned--spreading Brethrezen's plague across the land while sensing a greater threat in the Elven god, or the Undead Hordes--seeking revenge against Gallean, one that will scar his people for eternity.

Guardians of the Light
Continuing the story that began in Dark Prophecy, Guardians allows gamers to play either the Empire--trying to gain control of the now vacant throne while a cruel inquisition sweeps their lands, or the Mountain Clans--trying to reunite their tribes after their near-destruction by the Chosen One.

Rise of the Elves
For the first time in Disciples' five-year history, a new playable race has emerged. Continuing the storyline that began in the companion packs; Guardians and Servants, gamers can now play the Elven Alliance as they struggle to unite their race and reclaim their forests.

4.0 out of 5 stars The game to play between playing triple A titles..., July 27, 2006

This review is from: Disciples 2 Gold (CD-ROM)

Thanks for taking the time to read this review. I'll try and keep this short and sweet.

I've found that Disciples 2 and all of it's expansions are perfect for the people who are looking to do a little light gaming. The fact that they are all turn based strategies makes it great for when you want to game while doing those around the house chores. They storyline is fair and the graphics better than average (hence the 4-Star overall rating) but it's all made up in gameplay and game features. To give a quick examples, one of the smarter features implemented into the games is their ability to transfer heroes over from one expansion to another. This was fantastic for me as I tend to get really attached to my favorite hero (or heroine).

In short, i've purchased all of the expansions for this game and have been more than happy with them. The game overall is very enjoyable and if you're a fan of TBS (Turn-Based Strategies) then you'll love this. Although the game is a bit older, you just can't pass up 1 great game along with two of it's expansions for $20. Fantastic buy. Trust me, you'll love it.

This review is from: Disciples 2 Gold (CD-ROM)

I really enjoyed the music, the game play, the graphics were very good for it's time. The bundle is worth it as all the expnasions, including rise of the elves is in it. I can't recomend this game enough because of the VERY engaging story line, the narration is excellent between boards. The voice overs, especially for the dwarves is quiet entertaining. Of course I would have liked individual bgm's for each of the races when they are about moving on the board, but that is addressed somewhat as each of the groups have their own themes at their capital. I like the various ways replay value is done. You can experiemeant with each of the various unit upgrade paths to find which is right for what you need to do. I can only tell you to avoid staying up to late playing this game as it can get repitive a little bit but there is enough one map quests to help break the boredom and change things up a bit. If that isn't enough, one can make one's own map with the handy map editor. Highly recommend for staregist.

Excellent turn based strategy that is even better than final fantasy tactics. This game is challenging even on easy mode. Computer AI is good. Storyline is excellent. Full game with all the expansions for $[...]! Well pleased with my purchase. I can see this game having well over 100 hours of playtime from beginning to end. And that might just be with one race! The combinations and strategy makes it have great replay value
