    Cool game, which is addictive for a while, but eventually gets stale. Most levels "de-volve" into testing the pc's AI, and exploiting it's glitches. The resource management is average at best, and the isometric view can be very frustrating at times, especially when you leave a tiny "invisible" gap in your castle wall that the enemy instantly bee lines to from miles away. That said, if you don't mind restarting levels often, the game can be somewhat fun.… Expand

    It's a good game and can keep you on your pc for ages, but i feel that when you have completed the campaigns, we should get 1 extra and a lot more things to achive!!!!

    Great combination of fun, strategy, and education. A lot of opportunities when deciding your strategy.

    Good. Game unit control is too simple. About time a game replaced "Lords of the Realm 2."

    Great game and lots of fun. Controls are easy to learn. The only bad part is that as it was said before the castle walls can be tricky at times. It can be easy to miss a spot and leave a gap in the castle wall.

    Castle building is nice. I had fun of building my own castles, and defending them afterwards. But there are just so little components to build your own castle, that after few hours you know them all and game starts to be just boring. Every next castle is similar to your previous one. Nice, "medieval" voice acting. Wasted potential.

    Before now there have been some strategy games set in medieval times, but none has captured the essence and flavour of the period like the superb Stronghold.

    Stronghold is an intriguing and ‘fresh’ perspective on the civilization genre. It is filled with great graphical elements and sound, and plays well. This is a solid and enjoyable outing.

    Stronghold is a very interesting game; a game which has no equals, not because it’s that outstanding, but because there’s been so few games that can fight for the title of castle sim champion.
