Yes, the strategic depth is limited. Yes, they've left out a couple of factions. Yes, the town upgrade cycle gets redundant. Yes, there's no multiplayer. Yes, the voice effects quickly grow annoying and the music is achingly repetitive. BUT... it's still Disciples; it looks like nothing else out there, and you can see the outlines of the great game that Disciples II grew into lurking an expansion pack or two below the surface. If you're a fan of the franchise, buy this game to convince the publisher that it has legs, and put it on the shelf if its flaws are too much for you. The version to play will be Disciples 3.1, or 3.2, or 3.3. Disappointing? Sure. But If you're a real fan of the franchise, you already know how to wait. Enjoy this paid beta version as long as you can, then sit back to wait some more.
