Disciples: Domination offers entertaining and strategic turn-based combat with loads of unit synergy to play and experiment with. Though the plot doesn’t quite deliver on its dark RPG aspirations, it’s still entertaining.

Disciples: Domination can feel slow, tedious, and grindy at times, but fun can still be had in its unique party recruitment mechanic and highly customizable player character. However, it doesn’t change enough from the game that came before to justify its existence as a sequel, and may even feel like a disappointing departure for returning fans.
65
Disciples: Domination is a sequel that embraces absolute continuity. It corrects some of Liberation's imbalances, increases the challenge, and consolidates the foundations, but it stops there. The combat system works, the factions offer distinct approaches, and the dark fantasy atmosphere remains intact. But it lacks the bold vision that could transform a good strategy game into a memorable one. Where evolution was expected, Domination opts for maintenance. Solid but predictable: it will convince those looking for exactly what they already know, disappointing those hoping for a decisive step forward.

It's the same old Disciples: Liberation, only with Dwarves. So, it's not Disciples, but once again - a version of King's Bounty by Katauri. Which is essentially good, but just like King's Bounty, it's starting to lack novelty and interesting ideas. It's a great game for a one-time playthrough, it has enough content to keep you busy.

Played Disciples: Liberation before, liked it, but it got kinda repetitive after a while. Domination was honestly a really good surprise. The story hooked me way faster. The tone is darker, both in the narrative and visuals.
Atmosphere feels stronger overall. Combat is clearly improved, less repetitive, more dynamic, and the system feels solid.
Battles are more engaging and require actual thinking.
Yeah, there are fewer units, and I was a bit disappointed at first. But once you unlock the new ones it actually works really well. Graphics are great, darker art direction looks awesome. Overall, a clear step up from Liberation. If you like dark fantasy strategy, it’s definitely worth your time.

Worst turn based strategy i've ever seen. With outdated mechanics, quests and graphics. Total cringe in every aspect of the game.

A classically styled CRPG that is welcoming to newcomers without dumbing things down, Disciples: Domination has both the gameplay and the story to keep fantasy fans enthralled for the entirety of its 40+ hour runtime.

Disciples: Domination does not upend what already works about the series. It moves Empress Avyanna’s narrative in a new direction and adds nuance and depth to all the game’s systems. There are a lot of mechanics at play, from combat to RPG-like elements to diplomacy, and they work together well and add up to a rich experience.

In the end, Disciples: Domination stands in its own way and gives the impression that, although it has taken a step forward in some areas, this is offset by setbacks in others. That doesn't make it a bad game, but it's not enough to make it stand out in any way. It can't compete with a genre giant like Heroes of Might and Magic, especially in terms of complexity. However, those who enjoyed playing its predecessor will get their money's worth here as well. The developers could have dared to take it a little further, though.

Disciples: Domination offers a massive new campaign that spans anywhere between 30 and 50 hours depending on your level of difficulty and style of play, plenty of major new features with their own spin on systems and combat, baseline enhancements and QoL features that were patched into Liberation over time. But it still sticks too close to Liberation to be called an entirely new game. If you were looking to experience more of Nevendaar from Avyanna’s PoV or want to spend several evenings in a solid turn-based strategy, you will enjoy the new installment. But if you are waiting for the second coming of Disciples 2, Domination features vastly different vibes and aesthetics.

This is an average sequel to a tactical game, with the combat being the best aspect. Graphically, it has improved slightly compared to the last game, but the story and texts fail to attract much attention. Nevertheless, the game will find an audience eager to continue the story from Liberation.

Disciples: Domination is a flawed, by-the-numbers strategy RPG that shows some creativity with its units and certain boss mechanics, but lacks enough depth and variety to sustain the amount of fights it throws at you across its decently lengthy campaign. Its writing lacks a consistent tone, its world fails to grip you, while Avyanna only stands out as one of the most unconvincing protagonists to date, making Domination a functional but rather forgettable second entry in the series.

Disciples domination? More like disciples abomination. This game is like the previous one sadly. A word to game developers. When you start to make a game take 10 minutes and do a google research what game the people liked in the franchise. People wait a disciples 2 game not a kings bounty or a heroes of might and magic type game PS was the dragonball Goku type magic really needed in this game? Its a grimdark fantasy not an anime. Whats next, avyana training like rocky to beat the bad ivan drago boss?

If you were waiting and hoping for a disciples 2 game this is not it. This is similar to liberation so if you played that you know what to expect. Bought it on steam, played for 30-35 minutes and refunded. Was really hoping this would be like disciples 2 but Kalypso sadly does not listen to fans.
SummaryFifteen years after Avyanna freed Nevendaar from the tyrannical grip of the gods, Disciples: Domination returns you to a realm hanging in the balance. In this dark fantasy strategy RPG with turn-based combat, take your place on Queen Avyanna’s throne - and attempt to hold together a crumbling kingdom. The fire of doubt burns scorching... Read More
