Lessaria: Fantasy Kingdom Sim – Playtest Impressions

If you are missing a comfy game like Majesty 2 in your life, I got a treat for you. Lessaria: Fantasy Kingdom Sim is a spiritual successor to Majesty 2 coming out this year according to Steam. I was invited to playtest the game, where I tried out three campaign missions and an endless mode. My first impressions are very positive. It retains that cozy approach to gaming where you just feel relaxed (just like Majesty 2), due to its presentation and gameplay. Even the original narrator returns! However, even perfect weather comes with a few clouds of rain.

Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania – Grind Maker

It seems I have played the expansions in the wrong order, as Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania came out before Monster Kingdom. It was actually Majesty 2: Kingmaker that introduced the monster faction, which is the first of the expansions. However, the difference is that they are unplayable in these and only act as an enemy faction, at least in the single-player campaigns. But the new monsters and goblins are all here, and your job is to exterminate them – among others. All fine by me!

Majesty 2: Monster Kingdom – Humies Must Die!

More like human controlled monster kingdom

Monster Kingdom is a continuation of the Majesty 2 storyline, and all is not well.

But as things go, no good deed goes unpunished, and now you must reclaim the throne, with some seriously questionable help. All in all, it’s more Majesty 2, but with one major difference in flavor, as you play the monsters this time around.

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim – Monsters for Gold Economy

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is shockingly enough a sequel to Majesty, which is a game I have not played. From what I gather on the net, Majesty 2 is considered a decline from the first game. Since I have not played it, a direct comparison will be lost on me. So, with that in mind, Majesty 2 will be reviewed as a stand-alone title, and I can tell you right now – this is one of my favorite go-to games when I just want something cozy and familiar when in front of the computer. I have been playing it for years but never managed to finish it, until now that is. I felt it was time. No more falling at the finish line, and no more daemons mocking me in my sleep! This time the baron of hell was going to be sent back where he belongs, regardless of how many tries it would take me. And it sure did take me a couple.
