Stronghold: Crusader - Definitive Edition Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Besides some remaining rough edges, Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition is a near-perfect RTS package for old and new players alike.
Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition adds some new features and lords, but it can be hard for new players to get into.
2001’s Stronghold has held a delightful little home in my brain ever since I first played the demo off of some magazine cover disk. It was wickedly addictive, utterly gorgeous, and had a wonderful British humour that helped set it apart from other historical strategy games of the era. I eventually bought the full game and fell completely in love with it; I then rekindled that love with the Definitive Edition remaster we got back in 2023.
