Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not much of a game.
Review: This game looks like it was done on a bit of a budget-- the cutscene graphics are straight scan-ins from line drawings, there aren't many levels in any of the campaigns, and the combat is extremely simplistic.

In addition, all of its plusses are accompanied by annoyances. On the plus side, it's fun for a while to determine how your tiny little band of troops has to be deployed to beat a particular battle. What's annoying is that one hero can only be accompanied by FIVE troops at most, and only if he's a high level; most of the game it's three; sometimes only one. You never have a significant number of heroes, so your armies are severely limited. Plus side: city management is streamlined. Minus: it's cut to the bone, and actually kind of uninteresting. Plus: magic graphics are great. Minus: the actual spell effects are very basic.

Plus: it's addictive for a little while, while you're learning it. Minus: Afterward, you'll wonder why you wasted your time.

If you want a good Fantasy Turn Based Strategy game, look at Age of Wonders instead.

Review: This is a good game for people who like games such as, StarCraft, but desire more RPG features in a game. One of the best i've played.

Summary: disciples... not just another RPG
Review: Though the game itself is quite dragging the fact that you must keep a cool head and plan every move before you make it keeps your mind sharp and alert as to the possible outcome of each battle. You must also keep track of what your opponents are doing as they can be very tricky as to their reactons to your attacks. All in all the game was a good investment as it has inspired my son to think before he acts both in the game and in real life. As long as you don't mind using you MIND then this turn based game is a good mental workout
