Unusually for a game of this type you do not have direct control over units (knights, wizards etc.) in the game, but rather place structures and set bounties to encourage them in the right direction. Herocraft refer to this as the indirect control strategy, but essentially what it boils down to is that you control the kingdom, but not the people / things that live in it.
The various units have a mind of their own (be it killing monsters, hunting for treasure or something else) and your job is to make sure they have everything they need to survive. Thus the game, like many of the best strategy games, is an exercise in resource management.
With 16 scenario missions to work through and 100 game achievements there's a lot of depth to Majesty, making it decent value for money. Moreover, this is a game genre that is relatively rare on Windows Phone, so it should be welcomed with open arms by strategy game fans.
Marketplace description:
“Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim” is a vast magical world where you are honoured with the crown of a tiny fairytale kingdom. When you become the head of the country all the responsibility for the land's prosperity rests on your royal shoulders. You will have to fight various enemies and monsters, explore new territories, manage economic and scientific developments and solve a heap of unusual and unexpected tasks. For example, what will you do when all the gold in the kingdom transforms into cookies? Or how will you bring back the trolls who robbed caravans and whose disappearance ruins the economy of the country?
Majesty can be downloaded from the Windows Phone Marketplace at a cost of £1.49 / €1.99 / $1.99.
