Chalgyr's Game Room: 8 / 10 by Nick Herber

"Disciples: Liberation is a very enjoyable fantasy game that mixes turn-based combat with real-time exploration and a smidge of simulation / city-building. It can be a risk trying to balance these different elements, but kudos to the development team for striking a satisfactory balance. I really enjoyed my time with this game and it is pretty easy to sink a few dozen or so hours into it. Fans of strategy / RPG titles will find a lot to like here and should definitely give Disciples: Liberation a look." - Nick "So overall, even with the shift of the Disciples series with Disciples: Liberation to a more real-time and turn-based tactics RPG than the older entries of “player versus player” styles, it’s in good shape. The shift isn’t a bad one but as mentioned above, a few small tweaks could definitely help to polish this off even further regardless of if you decide to drop into this dark and intriguing world on the PC or on the consoles at the beginning of next month." - Pierre-Yves' PC Preview (https://chalgyr.com/2021/09/preview-pc-disciplesliberation.html)

TechRaptor: 7.5 / 10

Disciples: Liberation suffers from some predictible AI and difficulty spikes. Despite this, it still manages to be a very deep and engrossing strategy RPG.

Digitally Downloaded: 3 / 5 by Matt Sainsbury

As interesting and tactical as that combat system is, I couldn't get past the fact that Disciples: Liberation was asking 80 (or more) hours of a person's time with so little payoff. I just found the whole thing too relentlessly miserable to connect with. It's possible to create a dark setting and still have moments of warmth, beauty and joy. Tolkien understood that. Perhaps those that have been inspired by him should be more diligent students.

User Reviews Summary generated by AI

The main pros of the game

  • Gritty and Engaging Story: Many players appreciated the dark fantasy narrative that includes morally ambiguous choices, allowing players to navigate a complex world without clear good or evil.
  • Well-Written Characters: The character interactions and dialogue were highlighted as a strong point, particularly the banter between main characters.
  • Deep Tactical Combat: The game features a variety of units and tactical options, appealing to players who enjoy strategic combat and battlefield positioning.
  • Visuals and Sound Design: The graphics and sound effects received praise for their quality, contributing to the game’s overall atmosphere.
  • Replayability: The choices matter system and the “Liberation Mode” offer new experiences on subsequent playthroughs.

The main cons of the game

  • Deviation from Series Roots: Longtime fans of the Disciples series expressed disappointment over the game’s departure from the established mechanics and tone of previous titles, particularly the lack of unit evolution and faction mechanics.
  • Repetitive Gameplay: Several reviews noted that the combat and missions can become tedious over time, with some players feeling that battles dragged on unnecessarily.
  • Poor Balance and AI: Many users criticized the game for balance issues, where enemies could feel either too easy or frustratingly difficult, often leading to a lack of challenge or engagement in combat.
  • Technical Issues: Bugs, especially related to dialogue loops and UI inefficiencies, were frequently mentioned, detracting from the overall experience.
  • Weak Economy and Resource Management: Players found the resource management system lacking depth and engagement, making the city-building aspect feel less impactful.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Unit Evolution and Customization: Fans missed the depth of unit progression and customization that characterized earlier games in the series, where units had distinct paths and growth based on player choices.
  • Strategic Depth in Faction Mechanics: Users expressed a desire for more distinct faction identities and mechanics that would require different strategic approaches, which were present in earlier installments.
  • Meaningful Choices: While the game includes choices, many players felt that the consequences were often superficial, lacking the depth and weight seen in previous games.
  • Improved AI and Combat Mechanics: There were calls for better AI behavior and more engaging combat mechanics that would enhance the tactical experience.

Conclusion

  • Disciples: Liberation presents a mixed bag for players. While it offers an engaging story and tactical combat, it struggles with balance, repetitiveness, and a departure from the beloved mechanics of its predecessors. The game may appeal to newcomers or those who enjoy tactical RPGs, but it may disappoint long-time fans of the series looking for a true continuation of the Disciples legacy.
