Set in the world made famous by Majesty, in Ardania, you are the king. Some arrogant noble causes trouble by sending militia to attack you, so you slash back by building towers to defend your castle and sending various troops to counter-attack. Campaign takes you through Ardania to find the culprit of the attacks on your cities. Sounds cool enough, but unfortunately, you probably shouldn't get too excited. Defenders...

Poor AI; no solo play except for campaign; campaign levels have locked towers, units, upgrades and spells; campaign is fairly short and only one of the 3 races, so no chance to get aquainted with either of the others races before playing multiplayer; poor interface; poor response to input; poor unit pathing updates; maps are limited to the campaign maps.

Defenders of Ardania (DA) can be summarized as a tower defense / offense game set in the universe of Majesty game series. As such, it can get a bit frantic, esp. when you add in spells and possibly multiple factions. You defend your castle with towers, with the restriction that you are limited to 10/15/20 towers TOTAL, and each tower must be within 4 "squares" of at least one other tower (your first tower must be...

The tower defense genre is well known and well understood, with many good games to serve as examples on how to get it right. With all of the good material available for study it's hard to understand how Defenders of Ardania managed to fail so hard. You'd think that, at the very least, the company would have been able to manage a mediocre game but Defenders of Ardania fails in nearly every aspect. Although this game...

I should have read other reviews before purchasing. Limited resolution settings. No option for windowed mode. This means on my 2560x1440 monitor, it resizes all my windows to make them smaller, and repositions them onto my 2nd monitor. Ugh! The game itself is pretty lackluster, which is a shame because I really liked Majesty 2. The quality seems really poor and just shoddy all-around. The official forums have been...

Picked this up as part of the majesty collection. as much as i want to love this game for it being in such a great universe as well as one of my favorite genre...i hate it. the controls are awful. design is crap and it crashes unforgivingly with little regaurd to threats of death from yours trully. bottom line unless this is recives an overhaul update its not playable. Bottom Line. STAY AWAY, EVEN IF ITS FREE STAY...

Defenders of Ardania is Paradox's new take on the Tower Defense genre. Although set in the same universe as the majesty games you probably won't notice as the majority of the lore, units and locations is of much the same generic fantasy staple as 99% of the rest out there. Defenders of Ardania takes on the genre in a way we mostly see from PvP focused Tower Defense games by letting you not only manage the defense of...

Game has fun concept, the combination of tower defense and tower offense makes for a fun experience. The execution was lacking, though. In-game the mouse becomes very hard to control, accelerating and decelerating much slower than I would like while playing. The game also lacks strategic depth that was very simple to include. The game includes several different types of units to send out to attack the enemy. Most of...

Picked this up since I am a fan of the original Majesty. Although Majesty 2 was fairly dissapointing, it wasn't totally terrible, and tower defense is a pretty easy genre to to reasonably well. I am not super-far through this yet, but so far it has been nothing but dissapointing, with boring non-interactive gameplay, sluggish lack of strategic decisions that matter, and even terrible voice acting (the advisor guy...

Great story. Very bad balance. Very poorly done mechanics. Like the whole series. But it's still not worth removing from Steam, there's much bigger garbage that deserves it.
