    Everything good about the stronghold series especially 2 has been raped by this game. Everything about the presentation with regards to models screams trying to hard all over it making it look overworked, tacky and terrible. The models themselves do not show a remarked improvement from previous games in fact they look worse. The AI is worse, the fact that now non siege units can destroyEverything good about the stronghold series especially 2 has been raped by this game. Everything about the presentation with regards to models screams trying to hard all over it making it look overworked, tacky and terrible. The models themselves do not show a remarked improvement from previous games in fact they look worse. The AI is worse, the fact that now non siege units can destroy stone walls is laudable. This removes the whole tactical aspect from the game and is such a design, whom ever had that idea should be shot. The game menu looks awful far worse than any other game. The missions are dull and slow. The mission scenes are a travesty, the pictures and acting are just bad, and again have raped the memories of the glorious scenes from stronghold 2. This was the worst £5 i have ever ever spent and anybody who buys this just on seeing another game of the franchise is a fool. I had such high hopes but do not be drawn into the pretty pictures, the game has been sexed up. The building menus are now messy with no prompts on how many resources you have left, you have to check manually. You also have lost the segmented aspect to building which made it far simpler with something that is now messy and fiddly and just a pile of old ****e. The internet connection to the servers do not work.… Expand

    Absolut not playable - Multplayer laggy as Hell, Pathfinding does not exist, No LAN Mode, Deathmatch useless - No Honor etc.

    This is a bad joke for a "Gold" Version - I can't imagine how buggy the normal Version was.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
    this is the buggiest sorry excuse for a video game that I've ever bought. the options are slim, everything seems to be in permanent slow motion, it's horribly laggy and choppy. after an hour of trying to find a solution to the **** gameplay I've ever seen, I was ready to throw it into the shredder. the originals are excellent games, but as far as stronghold 3, I    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

    Terrible game. Avoid it, not matter how cheap it is.

    It looks bland, gameplay is boring, mechanics completely uninspired. I can't think of a single good thing about it, other than belonging to a once great game series.

    I bought it on Steam, because it was such a bargain (or so I thought), but couldn't bring myself to play much longer than half an hour.
