Disciples II: Dark Prophecy

Disciples II: Dark Prophecy continued the series of tactical turn-based strategies in a fantasy setting, but with a noticeable expansion of scale and depth of the game world. Players gain the ability to control four different races, each with unique units, magical abilities, and cities. The campaign map became more detailed and rich, and battles more diverse thanks to new types of magic, heroes with individual skills, and a troop upgrade system.

Gameplay still revolves around exploring the world, capturing territories, and developing the economy, but now strategic choice is complicated by numerous quests and random events affecting the campaign outcome. Visually, the game demonstrates significant progress: maps became more colorful, unit models are detailed, and combat animations are smooth and expressive. The musical accompaniment and sound effects create a dark and tense atmosphere, emphasizing the "dark prophecy" theme.

Players of that time highly praised Disciples II for the richness of tactical possibilities and the atmosphere of the world, though many noted the increased difficulty and campaign length, requiring patience and attentiveness to hero and troop development.
