You're a king but you got to get your people to go along with your vision for a superb kingdom by demonstrating that you rule by ruling really radical and rationing rewards in a just and efficient manner. Nice classic game for RTS fans that also enjoy their sim cities and civilizations along the way. Heck if you prove yourself good enough they just might make it Majestic 13.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the first game as a kid so I had fond memories of the majesty series. But this was a major let down. Found the original majesty disk and tried it out. Was blown away with how much better the game was. Now that I know I was not imagining it I can say a few reasons why the squeal falls short. AI was rubbish in the old game. But in a good way characters did whatever they felt like. monsters occasionally wandered into town or appeared and all was good. AI in the new game is much more…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Total opposition to changing the contract without the players being able to refuse. I do not agree with your new conditions. I do not agree with the obligation to constantly check what you have changed in the contract. and it's completely crazy that I have to keep checking, and it's my duty to keep track of what you've changed in the contract, otherwise I automatically agree to it. Is gaming supposed to be my job? How dare you make such changes without any information about it. "13. Updates to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the hours speak for themselves. While it was challenging at times. The gameplay was quite unique in that you don't directly control any units, you are a basically a quest-giver to NPCs. Never played any other game like it. Buy it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Make number 3 already.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Base game is decent (gets a lot of things wrong that Majesty 1 got right). Unique gameplay of Majesty brought forward. Negative review because the final DLC (Monster Kingdom) is a broken mess. I had to save nearly 100 times in 3 hours to complete the last mission (actually just get through the DLC). I had probably close to 50 crashes in 3 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPNbcnHZk4Y Shame on Paradox for leaving it broken like that. Also the 2nd last mission in Monster Kingdom is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately this is another victim of using authentication servers that constantly verify you properly paid to play. While there is a community fix that helps get the DLC working, a recent update broke it and now requires even more tinkering to get to work. Spend your money elsewhere, don't pay for a broken product.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has DRM saying it can't connect to the internet and all my DLC is disabled. ♥♥♥♥ you paradox you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have always had a soft spot for the original Majesty. It's a game I have played a fair bit and remember with great fondness. It is perhaps surprising then that I had never tried the Paradox-published sequel Majesty 2. It probably has to do with when it came out, a phase when I simply was not into video games all that much. But having realised that I had it in my library after taking Majesty Gold out of the attic for another spin, I thought, hey, why not? As it turns out, there were a few good…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absurd difficulty spikes due too an long unresolved bug of enemy development speed being tied too FPS instead of time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played this game many times over the years. Love that it has it's easy moments and then it's most complicated moments. Some of the levels I still have yet to beat. Love having the challenge.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, wish we had more games like this. I recommend this game. However keep in mind this game as an issue with FPS/Refresh Rate which can be fixed, Google search "PSA: Game-breaking building speed bug; build speed tied to in-game FPS, more fps = longer build times".
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →'No internet connection. Impossible to check status of purchased content. Purchased expansions are inactive.' Yes, I do have internet connection. I tried the fix from forums, but it doesn't work. Developers should provide a working game with all the content it was paid for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Majesty series offers an unique take on the fantasy RTS game style, where you can only control your heroes indirectly by offering gold rewards for attacking/defending/exploring specific targets. This second title provides several improvements. The "defend" flag is greately appreciated. The four standard heroes guilds now have 3 levels of upgrade with several extra skills for your heroes adding a bit more of depth. They also allow you to carry selected heroes over to next campaings. They…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great if you like a challenging strategy game. But make sure to set your fps limit to 30 because the construction speed is inversely tied to your fps. So at 120+ fps it becomes really hard.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review after 100% completion: TLDR; Interesting "hands-off" RTS concept ruined by braindead AI, awful balancing and repetitive gameplay. Pros: Unique indirect control mechanic Decent orchestral soundtrack Cons: Dumb AI Poor balancing Repetitive mission design Clunky UI with no hotkey rebinding Barebones story Boring character design Gameplay/Balance: You can't directly control units in Majesty 2. Instead, you build structures, cast spells, and place bounty flags…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a WORSE version of ORIGINAL MAJESTY. Also there is C++ Runtime Error on some maps so you are unable to finish campain, bug not fixed ofr year GG with that, fortunetley i buy game for 2$.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, but much to hard, frustratingly so, some missions become a choir and not fun at all. Pretenders to the throne is impossible. My rating 5/10, only recommended for masochists.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Greatest game of all time, ngl. I'd pay anything for a spinoff, sequel, or indie re-imagining. :< Will forever hunt for anything that scratches the same itch as this...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you feel that this game's difficulty is broken, if you played it some years ago on an older PC, and now you've upgraded and you feel like you can't even beat the Rat King mission - this one is for you. This game has an fps glitch. The higher is the fps on your PC's driver, the harder the game gets. Enemies spawn faster, and for some reason you build very slow. If you have an NVIDIA Control Panel or an AMD analogue, go there and manually lower the fps specificaly for this game. For me - it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I consider myself a seasoned strategy gamer, but Majesty 2 is in a league of its own when it comes to pure, unadulterated frustration. This isn't a game; it's a digital torture simulator disguised with a fantasy theme. The primary and catastrophic flaw is the ludicrous, soul-crushing difficulty. The game is not "challenging"; it is fundamentally broken and unfair. From the first non-easy level mission, you are thrown into a meat grinder. The enemy spawns are relentless and overwhelming. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable unless you mess around with your refresh rate. Try to play if raw and you will end up with enemies spawning so quickly as to make it unplayable. Neat concept. Wanted to play since I was a kid and enjoyed the couple of missions that actually work. But once that over spawn hits, the fun is gone. And it just isn't worth all the trouble of the work around. Barely works and completely abandoned. Wouldn't waste my money or time. Shame really. It's actually a uniquely entertaining concept.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw my autistic brother put a negative review for this and I got to make up for this. Much fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken authentication service that locks you out of the dlc. The community fix also no longer works. I know the reviews are positive but this game is broken DONT BUY!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Love this old game. It's unique and really challenging. *But make sure you lock your framerate to 60 on this old game. Difficulty is somehow tied to the framerate. The faster your game runs, the faster the enemy will spawn and the slower the buildings will build.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game, the heros will drive you mind on not helping with your castle burn down. There is a bug on the end last DL that breaks the game, but still worth it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Difficulty ramps up way too fast. Lacks the charm of the first game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great! Still in 2022
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's starts off well, then the difficulty falls off a cliff to the point the game become s a chore. A shame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beware: you will have to lower FPS to render the game winnable (difficulty being tied to FPS; even at 30 FPS some scenarios may prove to be too hard). This is a great game, genre defining. Indirect control RTS: build buildings that spawn and equip heroes, set exploration/conquest/defence goals, watch your heroes grow stronger as they try to win the battle. Infused with humour. A game I've come back to throughout the years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fundamentally, the main problem with Majesty 2's gameplay is that it's a regression in comparison to the first Majesty. Whereas Majesty is a Fantasy Kingdom Sim with heroes that perform unique actions and adventure autonomously, Majesty 2 features heroes that shuffle about like zombies until they are given a specific order via an attack bounty. This creates a whole different feel for the game, as Majesty 2 is just an RTS with poor controls, rather than the sim Majesty 1 is. On top of this, the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game. Two things. 1) It is necessary to reduce your screen's refresh rate, as low as possible, when playing this game. 2) The game crashes more than it should. If you're willing to live with those two things, this is a very fun game. There should be more games like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the best games to ever come to life
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your Majesty!, the trading post now offers healing potions!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played Majesty 1 when I was a child. Some people dislike Majesty 2, I'm not one of them. I get so much satisfaction watching my heroes get stronger, party up and fight of hordes of enemies alongside dwarven towers. I also like that the game is very hard. I only have played campaigns up until this point. I tried the practice missions but the ones I tried were too hard for my level of skill. I am yet to find another game like Majesty 1 and 2. I hope that current game developers will look at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still a great game, maybe slightly inferior to the original, but better graphics and overall smoother. Play the original first, though, then get more here. This is an indirect control game: heroes have minds of their own, you can place rewards for attacking, defending or scouting targets, but they will do what they will (including run.) For whatever reason this makes it very fun, and it feels like you're a king in a sort of D&D kingdom where heroes are the truly powerful forces and you can't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Majesty & Majesty 2 are a pair of games that were so good that several companies have tried to recapture the magic and failed. If Paradox makes a third Majesty game ... I WILL BUY IT!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The rat king mission is broken
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very challenging! A good sequel to an amazing classic!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GOLD YOUR MAJESTY!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game breaks with more than 60 fps. It causes more enemies to spawn and longer build times of buildings. Unplayable because of this. Ridiculous and un-fu**in-acceptable. Patch that ♥♥♥♥, please.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some bugs are game breaking.. but I've had lots of hours of fun with this game! old and gold
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game, but you pretty much are forced to search online for the DLC fix mod/patch and the Balance mod/patch made by the community to make it work properly, otherwise the game is much harder than the original release and literally unplayable in some missions. This is due to a bug they fixed, but did not realise that the entire game was balanced around said bug, so pretty much balance of all missions was completely ruined without the mods.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Normally I am not one to complain when a game is too hard but some of the missions are close to impossible. There are some missions where you can place a structure (guild or guard tower, it doesn't matter) the instant the game starts and you don't even make it 1/2 of the way through construction before you get swarmed and the structure is destroyed. This is supposed to be a RTS, right? There is no strategy in that. When you have to reload and hope that your castle gets attacked (higher HP) so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only 1 mission mode included in all missions... Doing the same thing over and over again... with an increasingly annoying storyteller. The old “Settlers” were more interesting, although there was always the same thing to do. Without new game modes, DLCs are absolutely worthless... Maybe MP was probably the best here.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its fun to watch the heros fight on there own.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An Incredible Game (Actually the whole Series), it's a Fantasy Sim! Majesty 2 let's you hire and provide the necessities for a bunch of heroes to explore and defend the kingdom by killing and destroying your enemies! To succeed, make sure to build Blacksmiths and Marketplaces that sell your Heroes the equipment they need to live and gain glory to gain power and earn money to keep upgrading themselves for stronger enemies! Places rewards on enemy Buildings or a Bounty on a nasty enemy that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, but whoever came up with "The Royal Feat" can eat ♥♥♥♥ for eternity.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Majesty 2" is not as good as the first one (sequel is made by different people from different studio) but nevertheless it is decent and sweet indirect control strategy game. Difficulty in some missions is harsh and game design pushes you to use one predefined tactic to win. It can lead to some restarts if you can't understand fast enough how designer meant this mission to be beaten. But the first game was just the same so you can call this "being faithfull to original". "Majesty 2" is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pleasent trip to the memory lane. Nothing like being a manager of a fantasy kingdom filled with greedy "heroes", absurdly random difficulty spikes and rats, a lot of fu-cking rats.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beloved game from my childhood that I cannot recommend because of its association with Paradox. Do not buy any of their products.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute gem, very hard. Apparently more powerful computers kinda ♥♥♥♥ with the game engine causing more spawns. Check out my Guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3781736881 Or ProtonDB for tips about the games limits.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always loved this game. I wish they would of made more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First, if you are a parent who wants to buy a funny fantasy strategy game for a kid or casual player, be warned. This game IS HARD, even with all the fixes, the game has some scenarious that will frustrate you and force you adapt your tactics and overall strategy. You simply cannot win with the same strats through all the game and that is good. First technical issues, technological progress was not nice to this game, you NEED to atleast limit the fps around 30-60 max, becouse sadly the spawn…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a chill, old school experience. worth every penny.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unique game. Extremely challenging though, and can feel a bit like a rogue-like at times with the challenge and lack of clarity on how exactly you are supposed to overcome the challenge, but overall fun and interesting and I haven't played anything like it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this little game, very fun, niche and amazing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly disappointing. It suffers from many problems that ultimately make it inferior to the first Majesty. To keep it short I'll list a list of pros and cons. The things I liked : - mechanics very similar to the first game (flags, guilds, buildings getting more expensive etc) - some QoL changes (like multiple tax collectors from the start) - music - the advisor - heroes get more than 1 ability but it's mostly more damage. The things I didn't like: -building placement can be very…
