Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best PL #59, worst RU #83 · 3 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 9.43/day in the week to Aug 24 → 8.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Travel back in time to the legendary crusades for the holy land, in this expanded definitive edition of the fan-favourite Stronghold Crusader! Engage in historical desert skirmishes reimagined with new gameplay content and upgraded visuals, faithfully reforged using the source artwork, music, returning voice talent and veteran developers of the original Stronghold.

Я просто кайфую в исторических сражениях, не считая сколько там еще всяких троп, совместных троп и так далее. Одним словом балдеж. Ну и конечно же, это та самая стратегия из детства
游戏是好游戏,学生时期玩的最久的游戏,决定版有新领主新单位真的很棒,但是咱DLC能别只加新AI吗?来些新场景新单位可行?现在的DLC完全没有购买欲望
You fight better than your father. I will give you that. 你打的比你父亲好。这点我承认。 早在14年我4岁的时候我就从父亲那里接触到了要塞1,当时没有精美的画质没有细腻的配乐甚至连一点点人物配音的都没有,当时却仍旧玩的不亦乐乎,当时要塞1没有遭遇战,我反反复复的游玩着第13关 蛇眼, 因为只有那样才能有跟遭遇战一样的体验,后来接触了红警 csgo 4399,可是这些都不能给我太好的体验,我推开记忆的厚重大门,努力寻找着那个记忆模糊的游戏,我只记得 ,那个游戏里我的鼠标会变成一把剑,我只记得那个游戏里我连每一根木材每一个面包怎么来的都了如指掌,我只记得父亲那时的电脑里的这个游戏的图片只是一个小小的侧视的碉堡,现在我终于找到了,时光早已经流逝了太多太多,父母已要年过半百,要塞这个系列给了小时候的我太多太多欢乐,如今补票了2d要塞的两部作品,刚开始重回故里的感觉很是新鲜,但没一会这感觉就淡了,我一直以为是我自己对游戏的口味挑了,后来我才发现,是那个曾经抱着我玩要塞的人不再年轻活力,不再充满劲头,不再那么多时间愿意陪我一起回顾童年了
Dear programmers of Stronghold Crusader, my friend and I are very supportive for just a little patch. We want to suggest, that we could have a dig on higher spots like hills. We also have an idea howy you could do that. You could let the lancers dig on the hills but not yet fill them with water. For the dig to be filled with water, we suggest that the player needs a well from which they use the water to fill the dig. But in case you thought we don't like the game, we really like that the definitive edition has it's own multiplayer campiagn and that the multiplayergames have been reworked. For everyone who doesn't have the game: it's a nice strategy game for the freetime and it's different mission and campaigns make it sometimes hard, but if you have the right strategy, everything is possible
仿佛又回到童年那个下午,游戏性放到如今也丝毫不过时
Remove the Ad Intro and add it at the titlehome instead. Some players already have long loadingtimes and this just makes it worse
Grafikupgrade: Super! Coop-Pfade: Super, bis auf die KI. Spaß: Ja, bis auf die KI. KI: Absoluter Müll. Leider macht der letzte Punkt besonders die coole Idee der Coop-Pfade komplett kaputt. Bis auf eine Mission fühlt sich jede Runde gleich an: Die ersten zwei Gegner-Wellen überleben und das wars mit spannendem Gameplay. Gegner sammeln ihre Truppen vor eurer Burg und lassen sich vor dem Angrif abschießen. Spannende oder gleichzeitige Angriffe, die man nur knapp oder mit guter Taktik überlebt? Nöp. Möglichkeit für richtige Custom Coop-Pfade? Nöp. Erweiterte Optionen für Coop-Pfade (für bessere Belagerungen etc.)? Nöp. Kommen weitere Patches und Features, die das Spiel richtig rund machen würden? Nöp. Leider ist der aktuelle Stand des Spiels (besonders mit Fokus auf den Coop-Aspekt) sehr enttäuschtend und nach den Ankündigen der Entwickler wird sich das auch nicht mehr ändern. In harten Worten fühlt sich die Definitive Edition am Ende wie ein vernachlässigter Reskin an, welcher bis zu einem Community-Patch im Schatten seines Originals steht. Am Ende tun mir auch irgendwie die eigentlichen Entwickler leid, da ich mir kaum vorstellen kann, dass die wirklich glücklich mit dem finalen Produkt sind... Das Ergebnis der DE lässt mich leider stark an den Entscheidungen von Firefly Studios zweifeln. Da hat man ein Spiel, welches auf viel positives Feedback trifft, auf Steam die höchsten Spielerzahlen hat und was ist die Schlussfolgerung? Richtig: All in für Stronghold 4, nebenbei Publisher für hausfremde Entwickler werden und SC DE komplett zurücklassen. Gerade in Zeiten von KI kann ich kein Stück verstehen, auch nur drei motivierte Entwickler dürften doch in der Lage sein es zu vollenden? Eigentlich schreibe ich nie Reviews und bin seit Kind auf großer Fan der Stronghold-Reihe, aber dieses vermeidbare Gefühl, was SC DE bei mir hinterlässt, ist für mich der Sargnagel und schließt das Kapitel Stronghold/Firefly Studios.
Make beautiful or ugly Castles. Try all kind of tactics, to defeat your enemy. Crusaders GALORE! You are in control of the game, which is now two decades old, just renewed, same atmosphere as back in early 2000's. Brutality at it's maximum! And no censorship. Enjoy!
