    This is a deeply flawed strategy game whose main selling point, the new warlords system, turns out to be a complete failure. After a few hours you’ll be itching to uninstall this new Stronghold - if only because it’s not particularly nice to look at.

    This is yet another completely useless title from the Stronghold series, which actually does not bring anything interesting and simplifies the old proven principles even more. What lies behind the reasons for the release of such a game is a mystery to me, when, apart from the well-known brand, the game offers practically nothing and everything is incredibly sold out and rushed with a hot needle.

    I know that I’ve said the multiplayer mode is a potential loose cannon, and the single player content feels a bit slim, but I can’t let you leave this review without reinforcing the fact I really enjoyed this game. The things at the heart of it - demolishing towers with dodgy medieval rockets, seeing that each individual pig wandering your farms has a name, upgrading a warlord’s castle, placing those beautiful stone walls - are all immensely satisfying. It’s good stuff, essentially. But it’s wearing armour that’s very slightly too big for it, and that has the potential to weigh it down in the long run.

    Stronghold Warlords it's a sequel to the original game. Uses eastern historical facts as lore. It's not a bad game but isn't a remarkable one.Stronghold Warlords it's a sequel to the original game. Uses eastern historical facts as lore. It's not a bad game but isn't a remarkable one. It's only for RTS fans.

    ---> Positive points:

    . Retain some mechanics that made stronghold 1 so good.
    . Fixed some graphics and mechanics issues from predecessors

    ---> Negative points:

    . Not remarkable in any way. Mechanics are the same from 2001, lore is generic.

    . Graphics aren't bad. but for example: Warcraft 3 is 20 years older and has better graphics.

    . Bugs. The game crashes at random or if you save a lot in a short period of time.    … Full Review »
