A Hands-Off Civ Game of Epic Fantasy

Majesty really has one of the most interesting game designs I've seen in a while, and despite the chaos, manages to really work. Essentially you are the king, and you order your units to build buildings, make upgrades, research tech, and spawn units. After that, your units off and do their own thing. You can direct them to attack or explore certain things with gold, but this can be expensive. You have to balance taking your precious resources to better "command" your units or build up your kingdom against the hordes of hideous monsters blowing up everything you have. There's actually a big variety of missions to pick from, and each one is it's own little puzzle. Sometimes you have access to many buildings, other times you're very restricted to a small set of units. The game might seem like it's a lot of luck of arbitration at first, but more you play, the more you figure out the games bizarre logic. There are ways to combo your units and buildings properly, a good and bad way to spend money, and upgrades you should chase down and others you can skip for later. Knowing how to layout your kingdom can also make all the difference. The graphics are great, and the voice lines for the units are fun. When you get this hodgepodge of misfits to finally clear out the objective, it's very satisfying. It might be one of the greatest games for making you feel like a "king" besides King of Dragon Pass. A huge recommendation for city builder fans or RTS fans. It's an exciting twist on both.

The Greatest Game I Never Did Play!

I've been seeing the box-art for Majesty in stores for some twenty years now but always dismissed it as just another mediocre RTS game. Oh how wrong I was! The innovative mechnaism of not being able to directly control the units of your real is refreshing. Perhaps I wouldn't have appreciated this type of gameplay in my youth. But I certainly appreciate it now as a veteran gamer. And because I am an aficianado of retro-style video games, I now get to enjoy all of Majesty's twenty year old graphics and sound design despite having missed out on it these past two decades.

Worth every cent

The most important thing if you are not familiar with the game it is NOT a standard RTS, but a god simulator. You will not command your heroes directly, only manage your kingdom (build and upgrade buildings), the only way to directly affect the game is bounties and spells. The basic concept is: you build guilds, hire heroes, who go to the adventures to get money. You build marketplaces, smiths, mage towers so their hard earned coins return to your pocket. Rinse and repeat until you accomplish the mission goal. What really makes the game shine (except the randomness caused by the AI of the heroes, which can be ridicolous sometimes) are the actual scenarios. Almost all of them have some tweaks: theres a big dragon harassing you constantly, conquering armies arrive each week, you can't build certain things, each mission is different. You need to learn the game by trial and error and userguide (especially which temple does what and which gods hate each other, plus the maps themselves), the tutorial only covers the basics. The GOG version worrks perfectly even on a modern PC, although the buttons are very small thanks to the increased resolution (the resolution adaptation could be way better, you are limited to text boxes and menus covering only 1/40th of the screen). No crash occured during the whole campaign.

Addictive fun

I find this game extremely addictive. It lets you build and build with plenty of resources. It appears as if the game lets you win for fun; you can't die if you keep building/training units. This is a good thing, because fun is fun. There are spawns that attack your city, but they are more like an annoyance aside from your main goal of destroying some structure not yet discovered.

Fun but needs a little too much luck

You are the ruler of the land and you have the chance to spend gold on constructing different buildings, hire people from the buildings or purchase upgrades. The aim of the most levels in the game is to normally clear the map of monsters and their bases using the people you have hired.... However most of your subjects can't be directly controlled, so main way you get most of them to do your bidding, is to place bounties on the enemies heads or the camps and also aid them with magic spells, upgrades and items to buy. Some subjects recact differently... Warroirs will attack most enemies with out much or any of a bounty, Rogues tent to be more heavily swayed by money and other classes like Rangers will explore the map. The reason i'm giving 3 stars is the way you control your troops, or maybe I should say the way you can't control your troops very well... There are tactics you can use to place your buildings and which things you should buy, but there still a lot of luck with winning the levels. Quite often have to replay harder levels due to the way the map has placed your starting points and also the monsters. The A.I. on both sides some times tends to be a little less than 'good' and sometimes you win or lose a fight depending on where the encounter happens. I've played Majesty when it came out and also when it was re-released. The look of the game, sound and style are still pretty great and the graphics still hold up pretty well. Overall, it's still fun and I do play it from time to time.... but it's not a game I would go back to as much as other in the fantasy stratagy range.
