Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
This one completely snuck up on me. I loved the original Majesty and its expansion. It was a mix of a real time strategy and sim game, and turned the notion of an RPG inside out. You were a monarch who had to rely on disreputable adventurers who would rather spend all their time in bars, gambling dens and whorehouses than go out and save the kingdom. You were usually forced to put huge bounties on monsters’ heads and giving rewards for exploring areas or invading a dungeon.
The graphics on the new one are a huge step forward — the gameplay has better graphics than the cinematic for the original — but it apparently retains the music from the original, which is great, as it’s some of my favorite game music ever.
And yes, that’s just a cyclops smashing his way through a fantasy town in the trailer. Apparently the monarch didn’t put enough money on the creature’s head and adventurers, by their very nature, are lazy and cowardly.
