• Summary: In the world of Majesty, you are the ruler of the kingdom of Ardania. At your service are your loyal and somewhat obnoxious subordinates, who have their own minds about how things should be done. Majesty is the only game where your heroes decide on their own what should be done and when, leaving you to try to control them through monetary incentives. [Paradox Interactive] Expand

  1. In the end this game truly did stand up to its predecessors standards. It is fun and entertaining with plenty of replay value. It keeps your attention the whole time you are playing. Whether it uses comedy, drama, adventure or battle you just can't get enough.
  2. Majesty 2 has been a long time coming, and no matter what your favorite variety of real-time strategy game may be, you will find something to like about it.
  3. If there was some actual replay value in the game and AI/pathfinding was improved along with some User Interface tweaks I would easily say this was a buy, but right now I am right on the edge of saying buy or stay away. Perhaps in a few months of patches the game will have improved enough to nudge me one way or the other.

  1. Not as good as the original--mostly because there was no real attempt at improving on the original. Too short, and not a real step up for the franchise--more like a step sideways. Still, it was enjoyable. Expand

    Great game, but far too short. If they add a customizable gameplay mode like the first Majesty had then it would be worth an 8 or 9.

  3. Another Majesty 1 fan here. I really tried hard to like this game, but at best it is worse than Majesty 1 in every single way. If you play a game where you don't have direct control over your troops, then the guys have to have AT LEAST passable AI, but it's not there. Heroes are dumb as bricks, put a high reward up for a monster and watch all your rogues instantly run in and suicide. You can put heroes them together in a party but that doesn't help at all, as they don't act as a team whatsoever. One hero can be being fired upon and the others just ignore it and continue attacking a nearby building. Monsters and heroes just walk past each other all the time. WHY is the AI so much worse than the original? It's not as if the intelligence of your minions in the first game was stunning, just basic but it worked. And why are half the missions extremely similar to ones in Majesty 1? Why are the hero types and buildings available pretty much just the same as the first game? Is this a sequel or a remake? This game is just lazy game design, plain and simple. Play the original instead. Expand
