Stronghold is enjoyable

Stronghold is a mixture of the simulation and tower defense genres. This actually really helps both, as simulations don't tend to have a very strong demand for immediate response, making many of them a bit slow paced. Tower defense games are always a bit repetitive and tend to boil down to only a couple core strategies. Stronghold combines the concepts into one game where each covers the other's weaknesses quite well. Just when you feel the monotony of the sim style castle building set in, here comes an approaching army to keep you on your toes. And while the sieges would get tiresome and annoying as the best responses are usually pretty obvious, the way the simulation part restricts your resources creates an interesting challenge for supporting your plan forcing you to make compromises. It's not the best game on this site, but if you like building clever defenses, and enjoy interesting challenges, Sronghold is for you.

Fun on Mac, but keyboard shortcuts = no

To be clear, I really like the game, but I got to a point where the lack of shortcut keys made the game a chore, if not impossible to play. The inability to group units or quickly switch focus to a particular building makes the game just unenjoyable. I have tried with both the GOG Mac version and the GOG Windows version through Porting Kit, and no dice.

Absurd.........ly awesome!

I cannot believe how much enjoyment I have gotten out of this game. I am halfway through the campaign and things are still being unlocked. The game has found a good middle ground between frustratingly difficult and childishly simple. It is addicting and permits a lot of creative control. It seems like it will have great replayability.

And Arrows Rained Down From Up High

Medieval Castle life at its best. A king captured, a land divided and you along with your trusted advisors are the realm's only hope. Place your keep, gather your food, build your walls and train your troops because beyond your borders an alliance of cunning lords are rallying their forces against you. Whilst thou prevail or whilst thine walls crumble to the glutinous duc truffe? Stronghold offers a flawless mesh of castle industry and military battles. Keep your peasants happy with ale, food, religion and dancing bears or pump the gold out of them with high taxes and strike fear in them with the hangman's noose. It's all up to you. Train archers and crossbowmen to fend off the advancing hordes and sally forth from the keep with knights and maceman to bring hurt upon your foes. Make use of traps like killing pits and the river of fire to weaken ennemies before they arrive at the gate. Graphics: 9/10 Nothing special by today's standards but it still looks great. Leaves shake, fire roars, arrows fly and massive armies advance with ease. Sound: 9/10 Great Character voices especially during the mission briefing. Peasants speak in charming old english accents. Medieval Ambience music is primarily what you'll be hearing until the enemy arrives which changes to more dramatic and fast paced music. Gameplay: 10/10 Fabulous campaign which introduces everything at a brilliant pace allowing players to perfect the use of certain buildings anf troops before being shown something new. Campaign has over 20 missions with varying difficulty. Lots of defense/attack missions involving historical castles and a whole campaign devoted to economics. Replayability: 9/10 With difficulty ranging from easy to very hard, missions can be played over and over again without seeming repetitive. Challenges can always be tackled in different ways allowing for a different style each time. Overall Score: 9.5/10 This was my very first RTS and by far my favorite PC game of all time. I've since played stronghold crusader, stronghold 2 and stronghold legends but none of them can compare to the original. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I do. "Ah sire, the barbarians are approaching!"

Stronghold = Drug

with this game I feel like going back 10 years in my life. Back then I used to play Age of Empires I 24h a day and 7 days a week. Stronghold is also a very addicting game and I love it as much as AoE. Stronghold has a very good tutorial and even later in the game every step is very well explained. One of the best games out there!
