It is in this dark time that the “Royal Advisor” (who is never named) finds you and declares that you are the last heir to the throne and must unite the kingdom once more! Many princes and dukes try to defeat the Demon and all have failed. He loses miserably and the Demon usurps the throne and throws all Ardania into chaos. Of course, for the newly crowned King Leonard, this is a catastrophe! How can he make his name as a celebrated ruler if nothing is going on? So he calls in the court mages and tells them to use arcane magics and summon the Great Demon so that he may vanquish it. Several celebrated rulers have ruled over Ardania and all the dragons have been slain, all the demons vanquished and all the rebels have been suppressed. Have Paradox managed to make a fun game from that early build?ĥ00 years have passed since your exploits in the original Majesty.


However, Paradox and Russian developer 1C have teamed up to bring Majesty back from the dead, they gave us a very early version game to preview a few months back and the game seemed very promising back then. Over time it managed to build up a loyal cult following but after both the developers and publishers folded it seemed that Majesty would never be seen again. Instead of being an evil overlord such as in Dungeon Keeper, you are a king of the fantasy Kingdom of Ardania and it is your job to issue quests to noble heroes for slaying monster, destroying lairs or defending caravans from all sorts of nasty ghouls, Skeletons, Zombies and an assortment of other generic fantasy enemies. The original Majesty came out nine years ago with its unique take on the whole “overlord” genre.
