What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was October 2014. 109 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dungeons 3 ($29.99, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats Stronghold Legends: Steam Edition ($14.99, scores 52).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 187 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 36 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Old but good. It is relaxing to play, but some of the quests are still challenging.
I prefer to play old majesty gold than hd, it at least holds my mouse inside a widow opposite to hd. Would have to either disable 2nd screen, move 2nd screen positioning or install 3rd party software. At least you get both versions here. Kinda regret i bought it on steam instead of on gog. Still recommending the game as it's great even after so many years. Also for some reason it shows only my playtime in old...
I love this game, and I grew up playing it back in the early 2000s. Initially I bought it on CD back before the days of Steam. I may have a thousand hours of playtime. However, I have recently tried playing the Steam version of this game, and I sadly can't recommend it. The program keeps crashing around day 14, and it makes it so that can't even complete the first scenario. I am unable to recommend a game that is...

Majesty Gold HD scores 83/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/25990/majesty-gold-hdThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 4, price as of Sep 24.
