It's dated, but fun!

User Rating: 8 | Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim PC
I loved the original Majesty and it broke my heart when I tried to load it on my newest computer and it flat out failed to play due to "progress" in graphic cards. When I heard somebody was making a new one, I just about went off with joy.

Now, I'll admit this new imagining of Majesty isn't quite as good as the original, for all that they updated the graphics considerably and added a few new features to the interface. There's just something lacking; maybe I'm missing my favorite troops in the game, the Fervan Cultists, I don't know.

Maybe I'm easy to please, but the repetition in the game thus far hasn't bothered me, although if I can already see all the missions I'll be able to play, I can't see the game holding my attention for too long, either. Hopefully there'll be some downloadable content or an expansion soon.

At any rate, I would recommend the game to anyone who is as irritated by the ultra-micromanaging of many RTS these days and just wants to be able to point and say "DO" and watch thy will be done. Mostly.
