Majestic Nights

Majestic Nights is a flawed gem. In terms of issues, the combat and AI are clunky and very easy to take advantage of, once you understand the system. Technically speaking, the graphics look like something that would be home on a tablet rather than your desktop PC. If you can look past these issues, the game has a lot to offer. The focus on stealth is refreshing. The writing is solid, giving you just enough information to keep you interested, while also keeping you (mostly) in the dark. The references to real world conspiracies and plots are well done, presuming you are at least familiar with the subject material. The atmosphere is arguably the strong point of Majestic Nights. Stylistically, the visuals are bright and bold and oozing with 80s flair. The soundtrack is phenomenal. The season pass offers pretty good value. The soundtrack is probably worth the $20 alone. There is also a Pen and Paper RPG on the way, which is not something you see offered everyday. It's not a game f...

1. Don't buy this game. Donate to a charity or buy a friend something... 2. This game comes from the company who made "Frozen Hearth" look it up on steam. You'll be glad you did. 3. Fighting isn't fun. Its...very dull and cardboard. it's not like Hotline Miami trust me. 4. The dialogue is convoluted without substance of any thought out story. If you expect Deus Ex or Shadow Run you will be REALLY DISAPPOINTED! Wikipedia has a funner plot then this. 5. The puzzles are frustrating and unsatisfying even if you do suffer to solve them. 6. There are other strange issues but I have watered down my review to stop the comments. 7. The game retails for 5 dollars. If you see it on sale avoid it. Use the money to do something nice for someone you know. And if you don't know anyone then spend the money to make a new friend. It's better spent this way and you'll have a much funner adventure. Really... you will. The truth might be out there...... but it isn't here.

This game is a fucking mess so far. While I like the dialogue (what little there is,) the art style, and the music, the majority of this game is shitty stealth mechanics, frustrating combat, and bugginess. The AI is alternately dumb as a bag of rocks or clairvoyant - capable of shooting you through walls or thwarted easily by waiting for them to lose interest in the gun wielding, big haired assassin they just saw running past them. Your character can generally only take a few hits before dying in a ten second long slo-mo death animation (which you'll be seeing a lot if you play on hard mode - here's a hint; don't) and your enemies either go down with a single hit or as much as three bullets / katana swipes. When you die, you get to do the whole sequence over again! I was having fun with this game until the second chapter - Cardholder's story is generally a bit less actiony-shooty, although after a certain point the investigative adventure game aspect of the game is seemingly tossed o...

I was really excited. I thought this game was going to be a call back to Fallout and other classic RPGs. I loved the concept and the art style to pieces. However, what it really turned out being was a buggy, underdeveloped, and repetitive mess. I don't even think that a good dab of polish could fix this. You're either talking to people (which is more simplistic than I've seen it in just about any other RPG), or you're doing cover based shooting. Hell, the only thing that seperates this from a generic cover based shooter like "Gears of War" is the vaguely isometric perspective. It's a dull and watery game wearing an older and more complex game's hat. I can only hope that the developers take this criticism to heart and improve upon their product, because I think with the right tweaks and craftsmanship this game could become really great, instead of the amateurish product it is now. The game is far from irredeemable. If the team really pulled through and made some stellar later chapters,...

The fact that a "season pass" is still purchasable is blatantly fraudulent. There were 2 (of supposedly 6) episodes when I bought this 4 years ago, there are still just 2 today - this game is essentially abandonware. AVOID!

Not bad. Its worth $5. Its a point&Click without really pointing and clicking. More like walking and then clicking. The music fits, the scenes look just like they should for the story line and premise. Some of the dialogue feels a little cheesy but then again, the 80's was cheesy. My only real complaint is with the aiming system on the gun. It almost seems as if it fights you. I think they couldve done better with a free floating, mouse controller crosshair. And for some reason in the bar/club scene (Whisky) a lot of the patrons that are sittings are cut in half (torso on the floor) until I enter the area. then they correct themselves. Overall its good way to kill some time and $5. I thought it was going to be a little more action intense but thats ok. Just know that its more of an adventure/easy puzzler/story-driven game. Its also a little easier to play with a controller. So if you have one, plug it in.

In one sentence, the creators of Majestic Nights aimed for the ground and missed. The basic premise of an action-adventure game in a setting where all conpiracy theories being true sounds interesting, or did when Deus Ex and the Secret World used it anyway, but this thing is too buggy, unfiinished, and plain shoddy to even be put up for sale. The worst part is, even if it worked properly it would still be nothing but a plot made entirely of vague and uninformative references to cosnpiracy theories split up by repetitive shooting sequences. Just save your money. Even if you want to play this game because you're hoping to enjoy how bad it is, you should realize this is exactly the kind of game that exists to pad out mediocre bundles. By next month you'll be able to get it along with five or six shoddy mobile ports for a dollar.

Majestic Nights. 10/10 would push it to the limit. 80's L.A. , Synch-pop music, stoners , gangsters, CIA , Conspiracy and a badass cop. Great Atmosphere similar to Hotline-Miami but also includes great RPG system and choices how you deal with your objectives. Stealth system is quite fine, until you draw your gun and shoot your way out like Clint Eastwood or like James "Sonny" Crockett from Miami-Vice. I must say, I am a 80's lover, so I really enjoyed the game. Bad things about this game? Dialog speed during cutscenes and in-game. They are going too fast to read and are disturbing. And also, game has different mission / scenarios , that you need to buy as dlc or with a season-pass , sadly I felt like I was kinda ripped-off a little bit. If you are an indie-game lover or 80's lover like me. Buy this game, dont wait and push it to the limit!

This game is a mess To start with the Gameplay and gameplay loop is repetitive, boring and filled with bugs. Story 0 and 1 start with a item gathering part that is just click on glowing objects to get items after that you are teleported to the next map and a boring stealth sequence. When that is done you get transported to the combat part. The game does a bad job of establish its rules clearly, like why are enemies shooting at me in this room but talking to me in here, why does cover work this time but not last time. The Combat is really bad with wonky controls both on gamepad and mouse/keyboard, bad AI, weird wonky cover system that functions 33% of the time. It's like if the developer wanted to make a adventure game and then realised one third in that writing is hard so they instead padded out the rest of the game with unfinished combat system. Story is shallow and badly written relying on name dropping big conspiracy theories without giving them any context/background or...

I love the game's style, humor, 80's flair, and soundtrack. There are a few hiccups with the controls and gameplay, but overall I still thought it was a great experiences. I'm happy to see a game that isn't afraid to try out a whole new idea and really run with it. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes!
