Majesty 2 - Reviews



Big Download - Score: n.a

"Majesty 2 is an ambitious re-imagining of the original, and at the end, it really does work."

BiteMyReview - Score: 8.5/10
"If you’re one of those people that like to take old games you haven’t played in years, install them, update drivers, live with awful resolutions and failed expectations, then Majesty 2 is the game for you — except without all that trouble.  Plus, it’s prettier.  I like shiney."

Boomtown UK - Score: 8/10
“For me Majesty 2 is a refreshing strategy experience. The comical voiceover work and the unusual mechanics make it great fun to play.”

BrightHub - Score: 4/5
"It's a good new game, it's interesting, and it's pretty cool. There's not really anything else like it."

Cheat Code Central - Score: 4.1/5
"Majesty 2 brings some fresh updates and spruces up the overall gameplay to make up for almost an entire decade of technological advances in between the games."

ComputerGames.ro - Score: 78 out of 100
"We don’t have a masterpiece on our hands, but neither a soap-opera, and while many titles will terribly annoy a gamer in his lifetime, I can honestly say here was not the case."

CrispyGamer - Score: n.a.
"Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim's fidelity to the first game will be more than enough for that aging cohort that fondly remembers the original."

Diehard Gamefan - Score: Good Game!
”If you long for the days when Dungeon Keeper played havoc with your free time, then Majesty 2 should be right up your alley. It’s both fun and has that parody humor so often seen in this genre such as in Evil Genius. ”

Dreamstation - Score: 9.5/10
”Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is really shaping up to be a gem. If you enjoy RTS games and also enjoy RPG elements being mixed in you will most likely love this title. If you are a fan of the first there is no doubt in my mind you will adore the second. ”


Examiner - Score: 9/10
Highly recommended: ”...Majesty 2 is well worth price of admission. The extra layer of economic strategy and town management – which gives the game an almost puzzle-like element --  makes for a compelling time suck of a game.”

Female Gamers - Score: 9/10
“The result is a fantastic game that will keep players entertained for hours on end.”

Fidgit - Score: Digg
”The best thing these new developers have done is capture the genius of the original game. Imitation isn't just the sincerest form of flattery, but it's also a damn fine way to make a sequel. ”

Game Banshee - Score: 7.6/10
"Overall, Majesty 2 has some pluses and minuses. The engine is solid and bug free, the game provides 20-30 hours of gameplay (which isn’t bad considering its $30 price tag), and the game mechanics are still unique."

Game Debate - Score: 9/10
"Majesty 2 doesn't do things a whole lot differently to the original, but the additions it makes are welcome ones and the game itself is fantastically fun."

Game Industry News - Score: 90%
Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is a great title in its own right, and can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels and from the hardcore to the casual gamer. Crown yourself and pick this one up.

Gamedot - Score: n.a.
”There’s a lot of fun to be had with this title and the humour and light hearted feel is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. ”

GameOn - Score: 9/10
"Despite a couple of minor complaints, if it wasn't for the sudden increase in difficulty mid way through the campaign, I would seriously struggle to put this game down. That and those incessant rats!"

Gamer Limit - Score: 8.5/10
"Majesty 2 succeeds in delivering a new kind of RTS experience."

GamerCorner - Score: 8/10

Games32 - Score: 80 out of 100

Girl Gamers UK - Score: 9/10
"This is a great game, that should be played by anyone who likes this genre. Without the faults listed above, this would be a perfect game."

Holy Ramen Empire - Score: 8/10
"Overall, Majesty 2 is a great remake of a great game. The repetitive missions are a bit bland at times, and with no real significant upgrades to the guilds and their heroes, old players already know what to expect when it comes to playing the game."

Hooked Gamers - Score: 7.8/10
"If you are looking for something that you can play at a leisurely pace that doesn't wreck your nerves or your brain, then Majesty 2 is sure to please."

Icrontic - Score: n.a.

IGN - Score: 7.5/10

NowGamer - Score: 8.6 out of 10
"The fact Majesty 2 is bursting with charm and oodles of fine detail makes it a rewarding and memorable fantasy simulation.

PopMatters - Score: 7/10
"Through the game mechanics themselves, Majesty 2 suggests that maybe we should consider myths about heroes and monsters a little more pragmatically. Our heroes may be more motivated by booty than we might like to admit."

Resolution Magazine - Score: 6 out of 10
"It might be fundamentally flawed, but Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is a whimsical, enjoyable and fresh ride for genre veterans."

Strategy Informer - Score: 8/10
”For those of you looking for something different, Majesty 2 is definitely one to try out. The humour is light, if sometimes cheesy, and the gameplay is certainly intriguing. ”

The Reticule - Score: n.a.
"Majesty 2 is not going to revolutionise the genre by any means; but it’s certainly an accessible, entertaining and well produced experience, worthy of consideration if you’re looking for a no-nonsense RTS to pass a few weeks."

Troll in the Corner - Score: n.a.
”The game play is solid and enjoyable – it kept me glued to my computer for a number of multi-hour sessions.   The  unique method for controlling your heroes through monetary rewards is fun and rather than get in teh way of game play, helps define it.  That’s how you can tell a successful implementation by the way. ”

TrueGameHeadz - Score: 4/5
”This is definitely a worthy sequel to one of the most underrated games and worth checking out. ”

VG Tribune - Score: 95/100
"Essentially, Majesty 2 is great. I hope all RTS fans give Majesty 2 a try. I wholeheartedly recommend that RTS fans invest their hard earned coin in this title."

zConnect  - Score: 86%
”Majesty 2, overall, is a great game; a worthy sequel of the first Majesty and a good entry point for new players who don’t want to hunt down a copy of the 2000 original. With charming visuals, strategic gameplay and an empowering soundtrack, Majesty 2 is definitely recommended to fans of the strategy and RPG genres. ”

Deaf Gamer - Score: 7,5/10
The wait for a sequel to Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim has been a long one and fans of that game will certainly be pleased to get their hands on this sequel.

Game Vortex - Score: 83%
Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim offers a different take on the RTS genre. You're still building an empire, running up tech trees and fighting enemies, but everything is hands-off.

Majetsy 2 covinces first of all with its fresh concept which keeps you playing. The fights are exciting because monsters behave aggressively and heroes act intelligently most of the time.
 
FZ - Score: 4/5

Säkert köp! Paradox och 1C levererar. Det är en fantasieggande upplevelse som följs av gemytlig stämning där du inte riktigt vet vad som händer – men det spelar ingen roll för du har roligt! Högoktanigt speltempo följs upp av skarpa humorinfall med en fjättrande känsla av att du trivs.

It may look old-fashioned on screenshots and in trailers, but during personal hands-on, it’s fascinating and extra-ordinary.
