Disciples: Domination

8/10

If Artefacts can flesh out some of the new mechanics to have even more variety and get the combat to require just a bit more strategy they truly have something here. As is Disciples: Domination is a very good RPG that should be worth a look to anyone into turn based RPGs.

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.

It’s difficult to fault Disciples: Domination for what it does well. The game delivers a tight tactical experience, supports a wide range of distinct factions, and offers plenty to explore. Its visuals are detailed, and the UI holds up well across long play sessions. Where the game stumbles, it does so in familiar ways: a disjointed narrative, forgettable voice acting, and the risk of loot overload. The game doesn’t push far beyond its predecessor, nor does it significantly shift expectations within the genre; its systems, story, and presentation all feel largely familiar. Like a friend wh…

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.

6.5/10

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 i...

Even though it began in 1999 with the release of Disciples: The Sacred Lands, I’ve somehow never even heard of the Disciples series, let alone managed to play any of the numerous entries over the many years of the franchise’s existence. So, as my mindfulness teacher likes to tell me, it’s with a beginner’s mind – or in video game lexicon, as a total noob – that I approach Disciples: Domination, the strategy RPG follow-up to 2021’s Disciples: Liberation.

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.

The Disciples series has changed significantly since the first two installments and continues a new trend, which may not be the best path.

Disciples: Domination jest pod wieloma względami lepsze od Liberation. Równocześnie gra jednak sprawiła wrażenie, że czułem się, jakbym grał w dodatek, a nie pełnoprawną kontynuację.

Despite uneven dialogue, some limitations and quirks, Disciples: Domination stands as a confident evolution for the franchise. The political decision-making feels meaningful, the gradual construction of a formidable army is addictive, and Nevendaar remains a compelling realm to traverse. The turn-based combat delivers a consistent challenge, and for those seeking a more accessible experience, a Story Mode is available, along with plenty of customization options. As a soft reboot, it succeeds in offering a fresh entry point into the Disciples universe while honoring the thematic darkness that d...
