What is Majesty 2?

You rule the fantasy kingdom of Ardania, building a town, recruiting heroes, and using payments to influence what they do rather than commanding them directly. In a campaign of 16 missions across four chapters, plus quick missions, you defend your kingdom against monsters.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy building fantasy towns while defending against monsters
  • +you like managing heroes without controlling their every move
  • +you want challenging missions that require careful planning

Not for you if...

  • you want direct control over your heroes
  • you prefer a peaceful city builder without monster attacks
  • you want forgiving missions with predictable difficulty

What players say

69% of 1,300 reviews are positive

Players praise the indirect hero control and the challenge of managing a fantasy kingdom. Many report that frame rate affects construction speed and enemy spawns on newer PCs; crashes and uneven difficulty are also common complaints.
