What players say

Well it says 412 hours, but this is Steam only. Disciples II is my all time favorite game. I used to have it on CD and played it on so many different PCs and laptops. The biggest appeal is that every race places completely different. They have their individual strengths and weaknesses and require a significantly different playstyle. Leaders carry over during the Saga (Story), gradually getting stronger and stronger...

I have no idea how I was playing this when I was 7 years old. I'm getting murdered out here!
