A New Era for Nevendaar: Disciples: Domination Revealed
Fans of the dark fantasy RPG strategy series Disciples have cause for excitement, as Kalypso Media has announced a new installment: Disciples: Domination. This highly anticipated title is currently in development at Artefacts Studio, the team behind last year's tactical RPG, Crown Wars – The Black Prince, which garnered a mixed reception.
A Shattered Empire's Last Hope
Disciples: Domination plunges players back into the world of Nevendaar, 15 years after Queen Avianna liberated the land from the tyranny of the gods. The story centers on her successor, who must solidify their rule and strive to rescue a crumbling empire. The fate of Nevendaar—whether it finds salvation or descends into ruin—rests on the choices players make.
The journey promises a deep narrative woven with betrayal, dark magic, and perilous conspiracies that infect the dying empire. Players will navigate endless conflicts, confronting ancient feuds and political intrigues. The quest for truth will lead them to uncover the secrets of the long-forgotten Mountain Clans, witness the resurgence of an ancient cult, and challenge a dark seer whose visions have reawakened old rivalries as former enemies rise once more. Saving Nevendaar will demand immense courage and the willingness to explore its darkest mysteries.
Key Features to Shape Your Reign
The developers have outlined several key features that players can expect in Disciples: Domination:
- Centralized Command: Manage your army and territories from your capital. You can consult with companions during decision-making, with your choices directly impacting your faction’s reputation and how others perceive you.
- Dynamic Tactical Battles: Engage in turn-based combat designed for a faster pace, featuring dynamic events and rich interaction possibilities, emphasizing tactical depth.
- Character Progression: Expand the abilities of your controlled characters as you progress through the game and upgrade their skills.
- Diverse Factions: Command five distinct factions, each with unique troops, strengths, weaknesses, and strategic synergies that open up a wide array of combat possibilities.
- Immersive World: Explore beautifully crafted yet grim locations that perfectly capture the series' signature dark fantasy aesthetic.
Release Plans and What It Means for Players
Disciples: Domination is slated for release next year, with plans for availability on PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game will also include Russian text localization, catering to a broader international audience.
The announcement of a new Disciples game will undoubtedly be met with anticipation by long-time fans of the series. While the previous installment, Disciples: Liberation, received mixed feedback regarding its execution, the promise of a return to the series' roots in strategic role-playing, coupled with an emphasis on player choice and tactical depth, offers hope. Players will be keen to see how Artefacts Studio builds upon the franchise's legacy and delivers an experience worthy of Nevendaar's dark, captivating world.
