Do you like age of empires 2? Do you like easy to wrap your head around city builders? Do you always turtle? Are you okay with early 2000's graphics and bugs? I am. Good game.

Oct. 2024

I cant believe they did not add the skrimish game mode to the game. Best feature for Stronghold games. Rip. Otherwise a really great remake of the classic!

Now all we need is Stronghold Crusader remaster and the GOATS of castle builders will be complete. I can´t even count how many hours i put into playing Crusader years before it recieved HD remaster, it was a big part of my childhood and i am looking forward for the Crusader remaster like many others.

It's good old Stronghol with improved visuals. BUT! There is no skirmish against AI, and Crusader isn't part of it. Sad.
