One of the best turn-based strategy games.

User Rating: 9 | Disciples II: Dark Prophecy PC
Disciples 2 is a very addictive and interesting game to play. Overall it's one of the best turn-based strategies.

Game is designed with care and attention to details - from the start menu to the actual game play. Disciples 2 has very impressive and unique artwork along with detailed effects, which makes the game playable even today. Creepy sounds, music and environment produces a dark and simply amazing atmosphere.

About the actual game play - it's similar to games like Heroes of Might and Magic with a few twists. The game has 4 playable races (5 if you have Rise of the Elves). All of them have unique heroes, magics and units. You control a hero who travels with up to 5 additional units ranging from dragons, archers, wizards, cavalry, etc... Unlike in HoMM you don't need to buy new units every week from your castle, instead your units gain experiences from combat and evolve into better versions on the spot. This enables you to travel around without having to worry about replenishing your troops. The resources system is easy and quick to learn.

If you liked games such as Heroes of Might and Magic or turn-based strategies in general then you owe it to yourself to try out Disciples 2. Even tho the game is old you will be surprised how playable it still is. Having said that, there is also Disciples 3 around the corner which makes an excellent time to visit it's predecessor.
