This is a great option for playing Majesty on the go. I loved Majesty when I first played it almost 20 years ago, and I liked the sequel when I played it almost a decade ago. This mobile version is missing some features from the original game, but it's a pretty faithful representation of the game - and it's a great value. You can get the game and this expansion for under $5 - can't really complain. So many games similar to this are free to play, but just push micro-transactions to actually play the game. This is more-or-less the same game that was released in 2000, so it's completely possible to play without spending any more money after the initial purchase price. I'd like to eventually see an updated version that adds in the missing features from the original - or even update the graphics to match the original. Overall, though - I'm very happy with this game. It's fun and a good price. It definitely scratched that old Majesty itch. Maybe someday we'll get a Majesty 3 on PC...

This game is actually pretty good. Tough to understand at first and certain things aren't clear either. I love the idea of this indirect control, conquest type game. Certain things I would prefer slightly more control, specifically the leveling of heroes. You will have many heroes level hugely and then get wasted by main boss and so you're stuck with level ones who in turn get wasted. If you could pour gold into characters so they at least can get better equipment starting out that could help

It's great, feels like it did when I grew up playing it. BUT... 4 Temples have been removed from existence as well as the fairgrounds and most of the market type buildings (which is way more disappointing than I would've thought), campaigne is much more linear than the computer game where you could go in any direction at the start, spell casting is quite tedious. It's good and nice to go back but it's not the same beyond face value stuff. I wish I knew all that before buying

I don't understand the system of unlocking levels!! The game seems to only unlock one level each time you complete a level... So you're forced to do the next level in the line, without any of the side levels opening. This means I'm suddenly stuck at the hardest level (which is crazy difficult, even when I'm playing on easy) with no other level options available. Apparently the only way to unlock those side levels is to pay more money to "buy keys to the kingdom". Am I missing something, or is this a trick to get us to pay more money??

The actual game screen is less than 2/3 of the device screen. And you can't zoom out. So you can only really see half a dozen of your buildings at a time. The tutorial is brutal. The "advisor" is an impatient jerk who interrupts you if he doesn't think you are moving fast enough following his vague directions. And even though at the end he says the tutorial is over, he still pops up every subsequent round.
