Return to Nevendaar – A Kingdom on the Brink
Set fifteen years after Avyanna defeated the malevolent gods and claimed her throne, Disciples: Domination places players back in the fractured realm of Nevendaar. What should have been an era of peace is now overshadowed by corruption, madness, and a mysterious force spreading chaos across the land.
As Queen Avyanna, you must rule from your capital city, Yllian, while navigating political unrest, dark conspiracies, and the fragile balance of power between rival factions. Every decision matters. Every alliance carries risk. And every battle reshapes the future of Nevendaar.
The story in Disciples: Domination leans heavily into mature themes—war, sacrifice, ambition, and moral compromise—making it one of the most narratively ambitious entries in the franchise.
Refined Turn-Based Combat With Tactical Depth
At its core, Disciples: Domination is a dark-fantasy strategy RPG that combines classic turn-based combat with faster-paced, grid-based tactical battles.
Combat features include:
- Dynamic battlefield events
- Unique strengths and weaknesses system
- Expanded faction abilities
- Deep unit synergies
- New skills and strategic interactions
You’ll recruit and upgrade units from five distinct factions, building squads tailored to your preferred playstyle. Whether you favor overwhelming force, calculated positioning, or synergy-based tactics, Disciples: Domination rewards thoughtful strategy.
Rule From Yllian – Your Choices Shape the World
Unlike traditional strategy RPGs, Disciples: Domination places heavy emphasis on leadership and governance.
From your capital, Yllian, you:
- Consult companions for strategic guidance
- Influence faction reputation
- Shape diplomatic relationships
- Decide how your rule affects the wider world
Your reputation alters how other factions react, influencing trade, alliances, and conflict. Rule wisely, and you may stabilize the realm. Rule poorly, and Nevendaar may fall into permanent chaos.
Real-Time Exploration in a Living Dark Fantasy World
Beyond the battlefield, Disciples: Domination offers real-time exploration across a grim, visually striking world. Players uncover new regions, face terrifying enemies, and complete branching quests that impact the overarching narrative.
Fan-favorite factions return—including the Mountain Clans. The dwarves are back, but this time their allegiance is uncertain. Will they stand beside you—or ignite another war?
Choose Your Companions, Forge Your Legacy
Companions in Disciples: Domination aren’t just narrative side characters—they are essential to both combat and exploration.
Each companion brings:
- Unique combat abilities
- World-interaction skills
- Story-driven arcs
- Strategic synergy potential
Selecting the right allies can determine the outcome of battles and influence your political standing.
Is Disciples: Domination Worth Playing?
For fans of turn-based strategy RPGs and dark fantasy storytelling, Disciples: Domination delivers a compelling mix of tactical depth and narrative consequence. Its refined combat system, faction politics, and mature tone make it stand out in a crowded genre.
