Disciples II has allowed gamers to take the lead role as one of a resurrecting Empire, an Undead Horde, one of the Legion of the Damned, a member of a Dwarven clan, and now, an Elf. Following the previous two expansion packs, Guardians of Light and Servants of Darkness, Rise of the Elves follows similarly to its fellow expansion packs by remaining enjoyable, despite very little being done to enrich the series.
