Dungeon Keeper meet Rollercoaster Tycoon
RPG games always focus on the experience of being a player character. This game is about the experience of being the dungeon master. You play an unseen king ruling a fantasy kingdom besieged by monsters. Your city and castle guards can't protect you from much more than sewer rats, so you must summon mighty heroes to protect your lands! Unfortunately, much like a table full of drunken PCs who want nothing more than to ruin your carefully planned adventure, the heroes in Majesty have their own ideas of the best course of action for the kingdom right now. From cheap thieves who will do anything for a buck but will drain your kingdom of gold and magic items in the long run, to paladins who will face any threat head-on, sometimes to their detriment, and so on... You interact with the world of Majesty first by setting building sites, which are assembled by your miserable peasants, then by researching weapons and potions for your heroes to buy with gold they earned out adevnturing, and when times get desperate you can just bribe your greedy heroes by offering a bounty to slay a particular beast or explore a particular spot. A wise king soon learns that proper building placement is the key to victory. A warrior's guild next to a temple of agrela means that healing priestesses are more likely to follow your warriors around and boost their survivability. The waddling, vulnerable tax collectors are the lynchpin of your kingdom, guardhouses are less about protective fire against hostiles and more about minimizing the distance a tax collector with a sack full of gold has to run to get the gold to your treasury before a hungry troll devours him. And a wizard guild placed just close enough to a rat-spawning sewer grate can help a scaredy-cat beginner get a kickstart in levels to start himself on the path to becoming a fireball-spewing engine of death! Superior to the sequel in everything but production values, I highly recommend it.
