The Majesti

First and most important, bare in mind that this is not typical game. It's like story driven fairytale. And great one it is. So regular jrpg/rpg gamers should know it's not battle's oriented, no inventory, abilities, skills or items management. It's perfect for children, and how i can not recommend it when there is small vibe of Lion King in it, where most of characters are super cute animals. Also it's worth mentioning relaxing and immersive soundtrack that really plays well with the game, art is simple but it suits it's great. At point of writing review I haven't finish the game, but I had to share first impression. As this is not my type of game that I play, I would not pay the full price for it, however if it is your cup of tea, go for it and support the developer. Got it on 50% discount and don't regret a cent.

Playtester here hence my play time for this game. So i will not spoil anything here. Also this is the creator second game his first is Sydney's World so if you have played the game your in for a treat. The majesti is story about magic animals and the civilization they created. showing the point of view between herbivore, carnivore, scavenger and how it all leads towards the end. The game focuses heavily on story so while there are battles it's story related which are pretty well balanced as long as you use each characters skills as well as items wisely. There's also music that fits the game theme so well you never know what is going to be playing next. All i have to say is you don't get to see games as often these days to focus heavily on story and make the battles balanced.

For this review, I'll compare The Majesti with Sydney's World (previous game made by the same developer). [h2]Story[/h2] Overall the story is great and fun to follow. There's a pacing problem in the beginning, but it gets better afterward. Few characters are also memorable, especially Chee Chee. I also find story revolving around 3 factions is a decent setup. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] While the combat is still better than many low-cost RPGMaker games out there, it's a downgrade from the previous game. I feel there's fewer tactic/strategy involved. In addition, if one or more characters in the party got defeated, those characters wouldn't get any exp to level up. That means later fights would be harder due to lower stats and not having access to some skills. Aside from combat, you're just walking to a specific destination or talking to certain characters most of the time. If you don't pay much attention to the story, you wouldn't know where to go and there's no/little indicator of the destination. Even worse, some areas have unusual designs where it's not clear which path you can walk and you can hit "invisible wall" which is somewhat frustrating. [h2]Visual[/h2] I notice some improvement in its visual aspect, although overall I feel it's still mediocre. Some areas (such as Cheetah Kingdom) look great, while some others look somewhat ugly (such as the world area/map) or heavily use generic/stock-looking assets. The game CG is great though. [h2]Audio[/h2] The audio aspect has the biggest improvement here. There are fair amount of great background music. The sound effects/SFX also got a bit better. My only complaint is some background music in some areas is too quiet, where I initially thought the area has no background music. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] The Majesti is definitely better and more enjoyable than Sydney's World. Story-rich or RPGMaker enthusiasts might want to try playing this game.

This is exactly what the indie game should be, a true gem. Very well done, beautiful music and awesome story. Highly recommended for kids or even grown up to chill with when having a coffee or something ;)

Bought this for my daughter, and I absolutely love it. She love the story so far, and is really enjoying, especially me while she thinks that she's the pro gamer now :))) Recommended 1000%
