    It's basically Majesty 1 slightly updated and trying to rely solely on the basic game mechanics to be fun however they're not up to par (AI, hero uniqueness, 'mission' creation).

Examples being heroes constantly willing to get themselves killed in no win situation, not attacking enemies beside them, running through hordes of higher level enemies to pick up treasure, chasing a peasant halfway across the map to cast a buff when they're supposedly on a mission to protect a key building etc... There are too many to list that I've seen and as the intelligence (or lack thereof) is the core of the game play it sucks the fun out of it.… Expand

    They took out some of the best features of Majesty 1 (Sandbox, Random Map) and instead replaced the game with what is at times blisteringly difficult combat with little to no control on the outcome. I venture to say the AI in the original may have been better. It feels like a downgrade from Majesty 1:Northern Expansion in everything but graphics.

    Even with its weakness i cant get enough of it. Its fun, innovative and relaxing. One of the most interesting RTS-RPG mix in the last years. Well worth the buy.

    Majesty 2 is a fun, modernized version of the original Majesty, however it leaves some of the balance and interesting choices out from the original game, making it much easier to play, but also making it a much more simplified, basic game. Still, worth a play for anyone who enjoys RTS games or enjoyed the original.

    A game that's innovative and nostalgic at the same time, with lighthearted humor, and just simply fun. onus points for the cheesy voice acting. Fantastic game overall, the only real issue is having a weird difficult curve.

    Majesty 2 is a real-time strategy game, despite the game's pleas that it's a "fantasy kingdom sim". I found it to be very similar to Warcraft 2 in play style.

Most single player games end up the same way: you frantically fight for your life before you get your first buildings built, hope nothing major is destroyed, try to get up a few key buildings as monsters swarm your town, then all of a sudden, your heroes are mopping the floor with the enemy. It swings from frustrating to boring in seconds, never hitting the right balance.

    The tutorial is okay but doesn't quite teach enough. Controls need a little work. Music is boring. The game does have some decent dry humor.

    This game just isn't worth getting. RTS fans should boot up a Blizzard game instead.    … Expand

    This is one of those games that shouldn't be called a sequel. It's Majesty 1.5 at best. It's a complete mess. Very little innovation. Very little fun. Very little production value. And a whole lot of bugs to boot. Stay away from this garbage.

    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. YouAnother Majesty 1 fan here.

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

    A decent and well polished game that is let down by slow game-play and a lack of strategic depth.

It does this very well and in many ways it makes you feel more like a king than most other strategy games out there. The game is a huge graphical upgrade from the previous Magesty and it is much more atheistically pleasing than most of Paradox's other titles from the same time period. It is very satirical and full of comedic gems for the RPG fan and it is narrated by an advisor who sounds suspiciously similar to Sean Connery. The gameplay is slow but the speeding can be increased and the start of missions are very repetitive, the game picks up about halfway through each mission and revolve around you ordering your heroes to kill an extremely powerful boss. While your heroes are the most enjoyable part of the game they cannot be directly controlled, which leads to many deaths and lots coin resurrecting them. You control them by offering rewards in gold for defeating a target, guarding an area or exploring the map, and you prioritise based on the amount of coin. Once your heroes accept a quest they will not abandon it until they are dead or it is completed which can lead to an ogre destroying your town while all your heroes are off fighting a rat. You can put them into groups which will work as a team but you cannot coordinate your groups so they will tickle into the boss fight getting eliminated one by one whereas a huge frontal assault would have made it child's play. That said Majesty2 is a well rounded game and it you can perfect your heroes response time it can be very enjoyable indeed.… Expand

    This game is a budget title wrapped in the package of a major release. Simply put, there is far too little here to justify the price-tag. The game lacks polish, charm and depth.

Unlike 1C's earlier classic Space Ranges This game is a budget title wrapped in the package of a major release. Simply put, there is far too little here to justify the price-tag. The game lacks polish, charm and depth. The graphics are bland and one-dimensional. Heroes do not feel like they have genuine personalities and there is no opportunity to form any kind of attachment to them. Unlike 1C's earlier classic Space Ranges 2, in which the NPCs feel like they have genuine motivations and personalities, these heroes are generic and interchangeable. Some reviewer comments suggest that the heroes are 'temperamental', although I never once saw a hero throw a tantrum, get into an argument, get drunk, proposition someone or make unreasonable demands (not that you'd really notice, in any case, given how they all blend into the background). Hero comments are limited to a single, endlessly repeated generic phrase. Almost exclusively, heroes will simply mull around if you haven't given them anything to do - which feels much more like uninspired programming than anything approximating a personality. The rogue and wizard heroes are essentially useless and the rest may as well be identical for as much as you're likely to notice. In the original, maps were somewhat balanced, in that more difficult challenges were closer to base, and harder challenges further out. In this version everywhere on the map is more or less the same, making the danger flags (that discourage heroes from entering certain areas) effectively redundant. If this were a 'strategy' title most of the above would be forgivable. Strategy, however, as far as it goes, is limited to plonking down generic buildings, clicking on 'research' buttons and tagging monsters with bounties. There is absolutely no opportunity for outsmarting an opponent other than through brute force. Simply put, the lack of complex hero interactions or interesting hero behaviour is simply unforgivable. Somehow, in spite of the above, this uninspired grind still caught my attention long enough for me to complete the full (thoroughly dull) campaign, hence why I'm rating this a 4 and not a 1. Clearly it's been a slow week.… Expand

    Majesty 2 is not a blockbuster game. It was a quiet, nice, and cheap diversion. The improvement from the first game is immense, and the first game and it's expansion were brilliant. The patch that they've released addresses most all of the issues that people had with it. Is the game perfect? No, but it doesn't have to be at a mere $30. Well worth the buy.

Now of course Majesty 2 has all of those same great features, which is what got the score up to around a three, but then it also has decent graphics. They are not breathtaking, but they are pretty good, plus the physics engine at the end of the game blows all the buildings up even on my good gaming computer. All that combined brings it up to a 4. Now for the problems. Majesty 2 has a lot more "rules" then majesty one. The troops per guild has been reduced, and each guild needs its own special upgrades that only apply to the troops belonging to it. This means that if you have 2 ranger's guilds, you have to upgrade the same thing twice in order for all your units to get the benefit. Sure this seems like a minor annoyance, so lets just say this isn't a big deal. Next on the list are the temples. Remember the buildings which let you produce the super units and win? Well those now have to be built on a special "holy" spot, and there are only a few in each map. Now only having 3 temples doesn't sound bad, but each temple only lets you make 2 people belonging to it. Yes that right, 2 people. So 2 times 3 is 6, so you get a maximum of 6 good units in the game. There are maps with more temple spots, and a few other ways to get upgraded units with a new "promotion" system where you can promote your simple units to fancy ones, but its not at all the same. Along with that, a few buildings have been taken out, and a few put in. A decent trade up, but I miss the fairgrounds. If this was a standalone game I would think its great, it has good graphics and good AI, but its not. The reason this game is bad is because for anyone that played the original Majesty, the entire game play is different because of the rules they put in. If you have never played Majesty before, you will probably love this game; its very original. On the other hand, if you played Majesty one and have been looking forward to this it is a complete letdown and changes the game entirely. But what were we supposed to expect from a different company? You win some you lose some.… Expand

    Campaign contains 16 Missions (2 of that are tutorial levels), around 8 "Freeplay maps" without difficulty settings or anything customizable and no sandbox whatsoever. Many little bugs, weird AI that prefers going home to stay alive and a horrible feeling as if you've just been ripped off will be only some of your privileges as the new Majesty.

Set in a fantasy world (with the stereotypical rangers, dwarves, wizards, dragons and the like) Majesty 2 lets you play the role the King, focusing on the major decisions of building, research and growing your economy - while the bean-counting that usually dominates RTS, is thankfully left in the capable hands of the subjects themselves. You can group your subjects into parties (of up to 4 at an inn - well-balanced parties function much more effectively than the individuals by themselves and adds a great strategic element to the game) and set general objectives for them by setting different types of 'flags' with gold rewards as incentives (to let them where, when and what you want them to do). In the end the style of game play is a great blend of the elements of SimCity, an RTS and a party-based RPG. It doesn't take itself too seriously either with plenty of quips (and narration by a Sean Connery sound-alike) that, if not hilariously funny, at least poke fun at itself and some of the fantasy stereo-types. As a budget-priced game, with plenty of add-ons and special offers on Steam, this provides plenty of fun-for-the-money, and many of the scenarios provide a rewardingly-difficult challenge - don't expect to blast through the main campaign without having to reload or even restart some of the tougher scenarios until you get a solid strategy figured out.

The heroes then earn money for doing this, which they spend in your shops buying armor, weapons and potions etc. They also gain experience in order to level up, so they become more powerful over time. Good stuff really and a sort of reverse RPG experience. Graphically, it is fine and the sound is appropriately Medieval. Basically it is a polished version of the original Majesty.

    Now, it is jolly difficult though, and not for the impatient. On many levels you are forced to do some trial and error to discover which direction to build your town in, what build order you might need for buildings, heroes and defensive towers etc, and which, if any, monster dwellings you should destroy first to reduce the pressure on your town. Making the wrong decision at basically any point will lead to inevitable demise ten minutes later as you are swarmed by monsters. At least on certain levels.
    I didn`t really mind all this so much though, since it`s just one more way to make a game a bit challenging by tightening the balance more than usual.
    What did somewhat bother me was the poor AI and accompanying lack of options for scripting hero behavior and particularly party behavior and formation. For example, rogues are good against weak stuff, but as soon as there is a boss fight, prepare to have a stream of dead rogues to resurrect from the graveyard. They trickle in alone and suicide or attack from the front like maroons right next to the tank, which is usually where all the aoe from the boss is happening. Also, if a party (Of four heroes, grouped up at the upgraded inn.) attacks something out of its league and the tank dies, the rest of the party will just mindlessly keep attacking the same thing until everyone is dead, rather than perhaps escaping. There are quite a few other issues as well. Perhaps the most annoying one is how easily mages die at first, which wouldn`t be such a problem if they weren`t so damn expensive to resurrect. Again, if they had been programmed with some semi-intelligent evasive behavior it would have helped a lot. It all gets rather annoying at times.
    I`m not gonna pretend that the AI issues are game breaking though, because there`s certainly a lot of entertainment to be had with Majesty 2. It is puzzling that Paradox couldn`t have managed a more functional AI though. Or perhaps the point is that Medieval heroes are thick as planks and that we should just accept it.    … Expand

This issue continues in the expansions (Kingmaker, Battles of Ardania, Monster Kingdom), where the missions are punishingly hard, and not in a "fun challenge" kind of way. The challenge, in most of these maps, comes from not knowing what or where the lairs / objectives are, and getting demolished if you build your early base in the wrong order or wrong direction.
