This game is pretty fun if you like being slautered and having very little control over it. Imagine this: you're having a nice little time building your little kingdom when all of the sudden 3 huge minatours come and start hacking away at all you have worked so hard for. You want them killed so you put a reward on their heads, but all of your hero dudes are off chasing giant rats and stuff. In the mean time your pathetically wimpy city gaurds are getting slautered. Well I think you get the picture. I personally had fun until I got hacked to death with nothing to do about it.

Pure fun all de TIME

This is a great game with a great concept........the graphics are no that good but u don't really notice....u don't control your warriors they just wander somewhere in your kingdom (wich i like it gives u more chance to manage your buildings) but u can place award flags e.g. attack flag...then your warriors go bounty hunting......i don't know why i like this game so much because i only play highly graphical adventure games but oh men this is so fun...i first played the demo wich I got from a PC gamer demo disc....and man was I angry when I found out that this demo was only one mission.....then i bought it ......i finished it and i still play it more than all my other games.

i'm gonna give this game grades and here are they

graphics 6/10 sound: 8/10 fun: 10/10 difficulty: 4/10 (easy) everything is great except for the graphics but as i said u don't really notice that.

Not bad, but not great either

Majesty isn't a bad game, the graphics are quite good for a strategy game, and the game play allows you to catch on quickly. The tutorial is pretty good as well, but the game can either be too easy or too tough.

Some of the scenarios are really easy and others seem very hard. There are a few I couldn't get after several tries. At least all the scenarios had decent stories to them, which is better than some games out there.

My only real complaint with the game was that it didn't hold my interest. I played it for about a month, and then went on to another game. It's not bad, but it tends to get old after a while, it's the same types of things over and over.

You are on a quest to fight evil. Recruit all the heros you can to defeat your enemy. In this games there are around ten magical forces like wizards guilds, and temple of Helia. The men you can create are: Dwarfs- tiny, powerful creatures, made to kill enemy Elves-Mid-sized archers with a incredible talent Warrior-A passion to slay enemy with whatever it takes Rangers-A passionate hero that loves to explore Rogue-A sly hero, not carring about the kingdom, just his own self. Adepts-good at fighting and spells Barbarians-Powerful, killing men Cultist-love nature, king of healing Gnomes-very ugly, horrible fighting, but the best of builders healers-the queen of healing, loves to follow warriors around Monks-pretty good at fighting, have a few spells Paladins-one of the best at fighting, have sheild of light (strong) Priestesses-not too good at fighting, but can demolish any enemy by creating skeletons Solarii-fight with mace, and kill enemy with fire spell Warriors of Discord-Very big, and VERY powerful, enemy does not to tend to be around to long Wizard-Not strong, but when they get bigger so does there knoledge of spells (a level 20 wizard can kill his enemy in one hit)

THERE IS ALSO MORE THAN 24 MONSTERS

If you like fantasy, this game is for you!

Fun, but hope they make a meaningful upgrade

I gotta admit, I have dumped hundreds of hours into this game.

It has alot of good fantasy ideas built into it. It isn't buggy. It is fun. It seems hard to beat.

But once you figure out the deal, it isn't so much fun and you wish they would have invested more effort into the AI and play balance.

The drill to play this game is like so many other games these days: Hunker down and survive the first rush of monsters (the harder the settings the more ridiculously impossible this becomes). Then if you can survive the big rush, the rest of the game is super simple, easy and eventually boring. It is always the same. The AI never mixes it up.

This game is better than most, but nowhere near as good as it could be.

This is one of my favorite games!

Majesty, The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is one of my favorite PC games. In this game, you take the role as king of the mythical land of Ardania. You have the responsibility of building a kingdom and recruiting heroes to protect your kingdom from enemies who may be trying to destroy you.

There are 19 epic quests for you to play. The quests vary in difficulty and can range from making money to pay off a debt, to killing off the ultimate enemy. Some of the quests are locked, and you have to unlock them by completing other quests. Or, you can create your own freestyle game and build the kingdom of your dreams.

Majesty includes over 30 building types, 16 different classes of heroes, and 32 types of enemies. Majesty features richly detailed graphics, a great musical score, and hilarious voiceovers. Although you won't have direct control over what happens in the game, you will have lots of fun building your kingdom and discovering new secrets.

Majesty fits into the same category as SimCity, Pharoh, Cleopatra, and Caesar III. But this game is a lot more fun to play. If you like both city-building and fantasy games, Majesty is the game for you!

The game is a typical real time strategy/tactics. It combines elements from familiar Microprose games (e.g. Masters of Magic) with real time components. The major drawback of the game is that there's really not much to do - the game kind of plays itself. You only contribute by building buildings and telling them to produce units. The mechanism for controlling the units is kind of awkward, even if somewhat different than other games. You set a price on a territory to explore or a bad guy to kill and the units respond based on their character. There's no way to give specific commands to units. The game gets old really fast, the variations in strategy from one scenario to the next are negligible. It's interesting at first but gets boring very quickly. In addition the scenarios are kind of easy. I gave it up after the first two hours. I think you can find tons of better RT strategy games. I am a huge fan of the Microprose titles and this was a big time dissapointment.

Majesty is fun as a sim -- Not as an RTS game

For the Sim lover, Majesty holds a lot of good play time and an enjoyable set of scenarios to tackle. The ability to create your own scenarios provides more playability. The music is repetitive, but not altogether annoying (as some game music can be). The ability to improve buildings and recruit gnomes, dwarves and a variety of human heroes is enjoyable, humorous, and sometimes maddening -- especially when you've spent money to recruit one, and he runs away from some horrible monster. The ability to reward your heroes combines money-management skills along with the building of guilds, smithies, markets and heroes.

So why the three stars?

Majesty should never have been billed as an RTS game. It is foremost a simulation game. When compared with an RTS (real-time strategy) like Seven Kingdoms I can't help but think that Majesty falls short. This, I think, is its primary fault -- not so much the game itself as what the player's expectations of the game are. The game is FUN, as far as sims go. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it AS A SIMULATION GAME. If you, however, are in the mood for an RTS or don't like sims as a general rule, this game is not worth your time as it will frustrate you -- and, quite frankly, seem inane.

Interesting concept falling short of possibilities

Let me first set aside the minor difficulties I've had with this program, that being it's refusal to fully get off my system for one, and focus on the actual gaming mode.

The graphics are entrancing for the different buildings and various degrees of complexity for those buildings. As well as having the variety of tasks to be set while continually defending one's city from attack, there are the major plot lines of each specific "chapter."

However, this simulation would have excelled if it had drawn the ruler more directly into the realm through interaction, such as Lords of the Realm or Master of Magic.

Each tracker, mage, theif, etc, felt more like they were made from a factory. I had no care whatsoever for anyone there. Heroes or some faces to the people one commands would be a huge benefit to this game and bring it up from 4 stars to 5.

Be sure to get the patch!
