    Charming, grand strategy. Utterly unique approach, even in 2016 it has not been copied or equaled in any meaningful way. Solid multiplayer. Incredibly challenging campaign. Replayable. I have beat the entire map at least 5 or 6 times. Definitely one of my favourite computer games of all time and a strategy classic for the ages.

    One of my favourite PC games back in the day. The original game is far superior to it's sequel which was a huge disappointment. In the orignal the independent AI combines far better with the indirect aspect which makes this charming atmospheric game so unique.

    This game is tons of fun. I have been playing it every couple years for more than a decade, and it never gets old. What makes it such an interesting strategy game is that I don't have direct control over any of the characters. Each character has their own personality traits.

I have been playing it every couple years for more than a decade, and it never gets old. What makes it such an interesting strategy game is that I don't have direct control over any of the characters. Each character has their own personality traits. The guys made with a temple to Lunord stay within the city and keep guard. The guys made with a temple to Helia like to venture out and kill monsters. Rangers like to explore unknown parts of the map. Rogues like to steal things and respond to reward flags. Warriors venture around like the Helia people. Guys made with a temple to Krolm like to form hunting parties, and the other characters will follow them around. The game also has a lot of randomness to it, so you'll never get the same map twice. The campaigns range from very easy to very hard, and there is no particular order for doing them. If you can't beat one campaign, just pick a different one.

    This is a bit of a rant, but the lack of campaign selection in other games can really piss me off. I loved Command & Conquer, but I hate those maps where I get a small group of people and no base.I'm forced to play those stupid maps just to get to the more fun parts of the game. Majesty cuts the BS and lets me play the fun campaigns.    … Expand

    You will be surprised how much depth can have RTS game where you can't control units directly. It is calm and meditative experience on low difficulty where you can just watch characters roam around and interact with environment and each other. And absolute chaos on high where your kingdom will be constantly ambushed by dragons, vampires and ogres.

    A brilliant sim game that can take its place on a pedestal with legendary sims like Dungeon Keeper and Startopia. Given the lack of depth many modern games currently have, Majesty may still be one of the best sims available. Check it out, if you haven't already.

    A wonderful game that I spent much of my childhood playing. With a good chunk of variety and gameplay choices, the game really shines as an innovative game where you manage a city, hire heroes, and fight some very interesting challenges and monsters. The game does give very little control over your heroes, which can be frustrating, but results as a much more tactical form of gameplay thatA wonderful game that I spent much of my childhood playing.

    It's an RTS but not. You don't directly control units, but you create them and the town. It's incredibly fun, and some missions are annoyingly difficult. The graphics are comparible to Diablo, but there's a strange charm that gives it a good rating in my book.

    What a beatiful game! Despite a not so beatiful graphics (but anyway, game is from 2000, it's just 2.5d), the gameplay is just awesome and game itself is very very fun and addictive! Some campaign missions are very challenging, you really should think about your strategy and plan things carefully. This game is highly recommended to try.

    This is actually the best sim RTS ever created, none comes even close. Graphics are nice even today. They just don't make games like this anymore.
    Yes it's hard, but once you get the economy down, it's manageable. Sometimes your heroes do stupid stuff, but that's part of the charm of the indirect control.

    It's a game made with love for games, for the genre, and it **** shows. I wish they did a proper sequel (I'm aware of Majesty 2, but it was made by a different team), but as Cyberlore is no more, not getting my hopes up.
    If you've never tried this game, I envy you, and suggest you start right away.    … Expand
