    Great turn-based game with a decent story and 4 unique factions. Fantastic graphics and designs even though it was released years ago. 10/10 Would lead Legions of the Damned again and again.

    this version is the one to get out of all of them. this version takes the other 2 games and makes it one game and alot better too. Stay away from liberation, they prepping it for mobile market big time.

    It's a bit rough at times and some features are a bit buggy but aside from that it's not a bad little strategy game. I really enjoyed the theme and the art style. The game might seem mediocre at times but it was good enough to keep me busy for a while. If you like slow paced Might and Magic style games you might like this as well.

    To be completely honest, no. Just no. This game is so broken it's not even worth looking at frankly. As someone who loved the first and second games, I figured I'd load this up again to try and give it a fair chance. All it's done is literally convince me to not even bother buying Liberation when it comes out at the end of the month. An example that literally just made me stop playing minutes after re-installing, reloading the campaign to try twice over and have the exact same result...…

    I don't normally leave negative reviews as I'm normally trying to find the positives even in the messiest games, but every now and then I just have to make the call - this game isn't BAD, per se, but pretty unsatisfying. Technical BYB note - the game's not exactly stable, it can crash fairly often, but with autosave features it's not something that could make you lose progress, just annoying. Some positives before the negatives pour: - I do actually enjoy most of the art direction in…

    When you entire army gets destroyed by 3 goblins, it says everything about the game. To quote someone who already said - your troops: miss miss miss, enemy - crit crit crit. You end up replaying combats multiple times. It was ok at first, but the more you play, the game really becomes just replaying the same combat with every mob over and over again and again. Do not recommend.

    I really wanted to like this game, since I was a huge fan of the prequels. As far as I know the Reincarnation is the upgraded + merged version of the other Disciples 3 titles, but it is still flawed to its core. Disciples 1-2 were flawed games too: the multiplayer was terrible, but the awesome world, illustrations and mostly the story carried it on. Disciples 3 kept some of the good and bad qualitys (I never want to even try out multiplayer, the illustrations are still nice), but made the…

    If you have never played a Disciples game, I recommend playing 2 first (Gallean's Return or Rise of the Elves are both great). This game is amazing and oozes style and atmosphere, however it is not as tightly designed as 2 and is the inferior game (though I still love it).

    This is the real legacy of Disciples II and Disciples Saga. Don't listen the bad comments of some people. If you are a fan of the Disciples saga or Disciples II the game only needs a little care and patience to understand it. It is true that the difficult of the game it's not perfect and well balanced but you can change it easy with the different mods that there are in the forum of steam and use the mod that will fix well to you.

    I've played all the Disciples II campaigns, so I expected good things from this game. The game is entertaining and has several interesting features, such as the design, the artwork, the animations, the story (albeit somewhat simplistic), the dungeons, the characters, and the music. But the game also has many negative aspects, which unfortunately lead me to rate it negatively: BUGS: It has many bugs that crash the game and require you to restart it from Steam. You open the spellbook and get an…

    I honestly don't understand all those negative comments about the game.. It seems a lot are about the game being unbalance and unfair. Well there is RNG in a tactical game, there always has been, especially in Disciples. Have played the first and second and absolutely love them. There is an unofficial patch and/or mod for the balancing of the game, it affects stats of every enemies and allies plus spells and gameplay mechanics. Otherwise it seems to be the Darkest Dungeon problem all over…

    Tried to get into the lauded Disciples 2, it's too old now, it's for fan only who played it before. For newcomers, forget it. This #3 however is great. I like the feel of running your half dozen band of heroes. The graphics are dated obviously but quite nice still. Don't listen to the reviews "I miss all the time, enemy crits me all the time", they are simply not true. Anyway, turn based games, you always have those threads/complains like the AI is rigged, the RNG is not true RNG, etc...…

    After 2-3 patches game became unplayable. Not technically, but gameplay wise. All difficulty is based on just buffing enemy levels, which combined with game mechanics means you will very frequently miss, yet the enemy will frequently crit you (ignoring guard). You have to use every single bug / abuse that you can for the campaign to even be possible, and this is coming from somebody who on previous patches completed all 3 campaigns on hard, now struggling with the first campaign on normal.…

    I honestly don’t understand why Disciples III: Reincarnation isn’t rated higher. I fell completely in love with its gothic art style, haunting music, and rich medieval fantasy atmosphere. Riding across the world gives me strong LOTR vibes — the landscapes feel melancholic, dark, and magical at the same time. What truly stands out to me is the story. I’ve been connected to this game since childhood, dreaming about going on adventures with Lambert. Letting him go during the campaign genuinely…

    I loved Disciples II, and the first version of Disciples 3, although very bugged, seemed playable. It is not true for this remake. Terrible optimalisation (battle maps with particle effects turn your game into a Powerpoint presentation), the downscaling of the battle space made the game totally unbalanced, and the campaign mode is simply painful, breaking through near-impossible stationary enemies and then wasting your time on healing your army proves no real challange, even on the easiest…

    I rarely every write reviews, but I "needed" to write one about this game. I short, do not buy. I played both D1 and D2 a lot, and love both games. But this POS is just a nightmare. It's incredibly cluncky even on a new PC, graphics are terrible and it just plays so so so soooo slow. I don't know what they did with the balancing, but it's a joke. Even in the first saga, on medium difficulty, on many battles you will loose just because you can't hit your enemies. Often your chances to miss is…

    Просто отвратительная поделка, прикрытая именем Disciples. Минусов у игры вагон и маленькая тележка, неудивительно, что трэшаделы, склепавшие ее, пошли по миру. Гнумов так и не добавили. Боевую систему изменили, сделав каких-то недогероев. Зачем-то ввели статы типа уворота, и так далее. Огромный плюс старых дисов был в том, что исход боя можно было более-менее предсказать.

    Rewind time 10 years or so back I was super stoke for Disciples 3. The 2nd game was a childhood gem of mine. I finally got around to playing 3 and all i have to say is just stay away. I don't mind a difficult experience but here the thing: as long as the game systems work as intended and you master them you can get over the difficulty. Games like HoMM and King's Bounty do that. You can win fights far above your army if you apply your head within the constraints you are given. Here not so much…

    The new units are a real highlight. They aren’t just reskins or stat tweaks — each one adds personality and tactical depth, making army composition and progression feel meaningful. The dark atmosphere and turn-based combat give the game a unique identity that stands out among fantasy strategy titles. That said, the campaign AI is relatively weak. Once you understand the mechanics, enemy behavior becomes predictable and doesn’t always put up a strong challenge — even on the hardest difficulty…

To be fair, I never gave my first play through a chance. It was nothing like the predecessors and I hated it. This time I really wanted to give it a hard look. I played through all four campaigns, and it really just never grabbed me. Cons - Story is hard to follow, at times retconned, and really just isn't engaging. - Multiple crashes before and…

The remaster(this one) completely gimps the undead faction(and thus the campaign), while the heroes gain SOME degree of unique qualities(Some are lost) compared to the alternative lords, the army composition is hindered by the addition of reserves, the loss of armor that instead is replaced by weapon resistances for each type of weapon that can be increased to immunity instead of simply having…

    Yea .. thank you for working on the bugs from your previous failure, no, I really mean it. But that improvement is quickly downplayed by the dumb decision to reduce party size and remove stats points for level up making hero units absolutely useless and thereby the entire party along with the gameplay obsolete.

    Great artstyle, at times amazing soundtrack. Gameplay is barely tolerable. Huge fan of the first 2 games, when Renaissance came out, I was very disappointed. This version seems to have fixed the biggest issues, mainly the radical changes in some game mechanics, that made Renaissance so different from the older games. Reincarnation feels much closer to a true sequel. However, it seems to still be filled with issues. Stuff that isn't as noticeable at first glance, but once you start playing, it…

    There are many negative reviews, and they are partly true - the game is far from perfect, there are bugs. Primitive AI turns campaigns into a complete sweep of maps from enemies. Why buy? The grim, gothic atmosphere, and dark artwork, interesting campaigns with memorable characters, a soundtrack that conveys an atmosphere similar to the Middle Ages. If you love turn-based games, this one is worth playing.

Set in the dark and atmospheric world of Nevendaar, the game invites players to lead one of several unique factions, each with their own lore, strengths, and playstyles, in a quest for dominance over a land rife with conflict, magic, and political intrigue.…

    The feel of Disciples III is just a faint echo of the grim, intense atmosphere of Disciples II. The aesthetics go too often over the top, resulting in a convoluted, hardly comprehensible mess of textures. The world map itself is also difficult to navigate for this very reason. The revamped battlefield added new strategic options for sure, but also made the game feel more like HoMM, doing away with something that made Disciples unique and so interesting. One wonders why...

Like watching a strategy movie that you can jump into at any time. MAY require the major MOD for balancing/maps/fixes, yet even without it you can get some VERY good play!
