Average......

Stronghold would be a lot better with a proper single map skirmish mode. The campaign mode is NOT worth playing due to impossible odds and uber-cheating AI after about the 8th scenario. The "economic no combat" mode is utterly pointless. Leaves Stronghold with nothing but a very short term attenion hold. I uninstalled (or rather rage quit) after 48 hours. Lucky for me, I picked this up on a free offer long time ago. I do not recommend purchase for any more than £1 or $2 or so.

Poor design and frustration

Poor controls, poor unit AI, poor camera angles, poorly explained mechanics and objectives and a frankly unreasonable 'Economic Campaign' (plus a few bugs out of nowhere that, while not gamebreaking, surely lost me a couple of missions) It is not a "casual" game, you liar. It's a game of repitition and memorization, as near every mission after the first half-dozen or so hits you with something unexpected and forces you to restart the level. Wolves and bears killed all your farmers and you have no way to repopulate? Start over, stupid! A giant fire breaks out and burns down all your buildings mere seconds after the game informs you that you can build wells to put out fires? Back to the beginning, moron! Multiple near-simultaneous plague/pest/crop death/locust swarms while overpowered bandits kill all your lumberjacks? Eat shit, idiot! Had even half the effort that had been put into the superfluous, overlong and dull as shit "story" cutscenes been redirected to making some proper tutorials or making sure the code can't throw a dozen 'bad events' at you in the span of about three minutes this game would have been a real joy. But it isn't. It isn't the "casual castle builder" some of you seem to think it is unless you start a custom match and lower the difficulty to absolute rock bottom and even then you need build an army with the speed and efficiency of a korean Starcraft player (unless you're fighting the rat). The nineties were a garbage time for games, and your nostalgia sickens me. Stronghold Crusader was better in every way and it was still dull. Now excuse me while I go projectile vomit on Stronghold 3D. 0/1999

No Age of Empires, cheating AI, annoying

I owned this on PC -ended up deleting it. I loved Age of Empires and thought this could be somewhat similar. At first, I wasn't disappointed -it wasn't AoE but it was cool -sadly, it didn't last. Pros: - Moats are cool - Varied campaign - "Different" but OK controls (compared to AoE) Cons: - Some really annoying units -I cringed whenever I had to select them and hear their annoying voices beckoning you. I'm not exaggerating. Then they'd be really incompetent. - Your stronghold will fall in literally two minutes if the game decides you have taken too long to win a non-timed scenario (read below). It's infuriating to build a large, imposing fortress to see it fall in an instant. The game has unit combat but the focus is in creating strongholds -castles, walls, towers and moats, which I liked. I managed to defeat a couple of lords, then the game stopped being fun: this mission required you to survive until getting a certain amount of gold. I managed to build an impressive fortress with a large moat, while hoarding gold (which you spend to build most important things) and keeping my enemies at bay. Then, being close to my goal, an unstoppable wave of enemies arrived -and I mean it: by sheer numbers they razed my fortress, with my feeble attempts at repairing wiping out my large stock of gold with no noticeable effect on the slaughter. Tried again -this time I didn't save as much gold but built what I thought was a better fortress, same result: wiped in an instant. Tried a few times more, but it was always the same: no matter what I did, how much time I'd spent beforehand fortificating or trying to rush to the gold goal, that last wave (the opposing Lord would say something like "This is the end!") would kill me in two or three minutes, and my first defeat was the closest I'd ever be at winning. I don't know what was the triggering condition in this supposedly open mission, and after several attempts taking about an hour each I frankly stopped caring.

Huge letdown

I was thrilled to get my hands on this, yet there are reasons behind my rating. First, why do I have to choose between a combat and economic based game? I was under the impression this game included both at the same time. I read tons of reviews and no mention of that. Very limited feeling gameplay. I thought the point was to build up to a point where battle could happen. Here you start off with castles, unless you want the campaign, which is slow to say the least and there is only one battle campaign. Graphics were excellent. Sound was very good. There seemed to be a decent variety of units. Still this is nothing like Age of Empires, Warcraft, or anything I was hoping for where you can start from humble begins and build up (upgrade to strongholds from keeps, then to castles). this game actually did not make much sense to me. A skirmish is pointless, I want the entire experience. Strictly conomic seems boring when there are castles and swordsmen all over the advertisement. I feel like I got conned out of 5.99. = 1 star !
