Disciples 3 what's going on?

So Disciples 3 appareantly released in Russia only, last December 2009. Anybody have any news on what's going on with the International release? Anybody played the Russian version and can give us a review? Much appreciated.

I would also like to know

From what I heard, it suckshttp://www.ag.ru/reviews/disciples_3_renaissance

Review Score : 40% :cry:

User Score : 46% :cry: :cry:

Drawbacks : Broken, Buggy, shallow, Linear (as in single line from start point to end point) etc etc

edit : if someones is interested in knowing more, akeal has posted a rant over the review :http://ru.akella.com/News.aspx?id=2271

Damm, how could they **** up? What a waste.

So many years for? Nothing! Lol, man...

But again I can't explain myself the title of the review. "Foulstart". What "start" is he talking about, it's already the 3rd part...

This is the most depressing thread I've ever seen. I can't believe Strategy First gave away Disciples to these clowns.

I now officially hate these russian Akella devs more than anything else in the world.F1_2004

[QUOTE="F1_2004"]I looked up some russian gameplay vids, doesn't look too good http://rutube.ru/tracks/1004600.html The combat in particular has lost all of its Disciples appeal. Looks like a crappy Heroes of Might and Magic game :|FelipeInside

yes... I don't know what the other guy is talking about lol.

I have both Disciples games and they play identical to HoMM

A total shame, that game had such potential, i wonder if the game will still be released in english however. Part of what made those games unique to me was the artstyle and Disciple 3 did look pretty phenomenal on that side.

As far as combat goes, the difference between heroes and this was that battles did not used to be played on a tactical grid. Which is a feature implemented in Disciple 3 but i saw somewhere you could play it old school style.

More reviews, a bit more positive, but overall I think the game is going to be average. There is still hope that the game can be enjoyable if the get the imbalances and bugs fixed

Fans of the series Disciples, awaited the third game for years, did not deserve that. Dat and "Akella" planted them a pig. We thought that in five minutes to 2010-th year of the Nativity people have learned to produce games that would work though, but as Disciples 3 on your computer either does not run at all or will start, but for a few minutes, then fly out again in Windows. In order to blacken the reputation of the authors, did not take any bad language - they embarrassment without anyone's help. What a shame, because a pile of egregious errors and shortcomings lies a beautiful and intelligent game.

• Graphics - "Renaissance" is largely true to its name. The game actually looks very nice, and primarily through the efforts of artists. Huge demons, shining angels, lava fields and ornate castles painted with all the minutest details. : 8
• Sound -Pathos poems, like the entry before each chapter, an unknown actor reads the apparent indifference and weariness, and the standard of battle sounds - the clatter of arms and explosions magic balls - does not stand out among similar games. : 6
• Single Game - Authors almost got rid of the building, too clever by half with the interface and could not make the AI controlled creatures worthy opponents. But they very least recreate the spirit of the series.: 5
• Multiplayer Not provided.
• Overall impression - In Disciples 3 is worth playing only if many years ago, you loved the corresponding series, studied it in detail, while willing to accept some of my innovations : 6
