Heavily recommended for any turn-based strategy (or Heroes of Might and Magic) fan.

I got this from a Fantasy 6 pack so it was good value for me. It comes with both expansions too, so triple the fun. If you like Heroes of Might and Magic III or any of the Heroes series, definitely give this a try. Though it is the same turn-based strategy genre, it presents quite a new refreshing gameplay approach that needs a bit of time to adjust to if you are very used to HoMM. Read the official review for the actual gameplay elements cos it's really difficult for me to put it in words. But trust me, once you get to know the works better, get ready to throw yourself into another barrage of pc hogging nights.

It is very addictive if you are into turn-based fantasy games. Hero developments and building options are strong factors in the game and the progressive order in which you get exposed to new units and new combinations is a miraculous fun journey. The art of Disciples II is also one reason why it appeals to me. It has a very distinct and enigmatic Masqueradian look that is quite indie yet detailed.

Moreover, given that it has 4 very distinct and interesting factions, namely the Empire(humans), Mountain Clans(dwarves), Legions of the Damned(demons) and Undead Hordes(er...undead), I find myself unwilling to put the game down till I managed to unlock every unit from every race. There is simply no stopping once you start your first game, and every mission map offers new playing strategies, so you can't get bored with it.
