About
Relive the glory of Stronghold, the original BAFTA-nominated real-time strategy game, with this new definitive edition of the classic 'castle sim'. Witness the game that started it all, carefully rebuilt using the source artwork, remastered music, returning voice talent and veteran developers of the first entry in this legendary series.

Welcome to the fractured, war-torn frontier of medieval England. With the King betrayed by his treacherous lords and a realm on the brink of collapse, take control of scattered forces and reunite your kingdom against the monstrous Rat, Pig, Snake and Wolf!
Strike down each villainous Lord in missions ranging from breaking sieges and capturing enemy castles to building epic fortresses and repelling enemy assaults. Test the limits of your strategic mind with castle assaults and grand banquets in military and economic campaigns.
Dive into classic RTS and city builder gameplay now elevated with remade graphics, community requested features and remastered music from series maestro Robert L. Euvino. Gather resources, construct mighty castles, protect your townsfolk, manage your gold, raise armies and wage all out war!

Building on its 20 year legacy, Stronghold: Definitive Edition features two classic campaigns told across 26 missions, alongside fresh single player content in the form of a new narrative campaign designed by Firefly Studios founders Simon Bradbury and Eric Ouellette.
Exclusive to the definitive edition, this new 14 mission campaign sees players march across the devastated English hinterland in search of Sir Longarm's captured kin, before venturing beyond the story in a challenging new historical 'Castle Trail' of 10 unique scenarios.
With remade artwork, a higher fidelity soundtrack, full Steam multiplayer support for 8 players, Steam Workshop, modernised gameplay and more, Stronghold: Definitive Edition is the ultimate way to experience the game that started it all. Your kingdom awaits!

хороший
Einfach Super diesen Klassiker modern übersetzt zu genießen. Und zusätzlich neue Funktionen und Missionen, was will man mehr.
雖然經營成分比較重,但本質上還是傳統的RTS。 玩法的特點在於根據各種地圖規畫有效率的供應鏈及城牆防禦的佈局。 戰役教學循序漸近,單人任務內容豐富, 還可以連線對戰,感覺可以玩很久。
Pour les joueurs nés après 2000 : c'est un jeu avec une mécanique à l'ancienne mais qui fonctionne encore en 2026. C'est marrant, le jeu ne se prend pas au sérieux. Ce n'est pas un jeu historique mais il s'inspire de l'époque médiévale. Un excellent RTS qui va de niveaux chill et paisibles de construction à un niveau de difficulté extrême. Il y en a pour tous les goûts.
O único aspecto bom dessa merda de jogo é a construção e defesa de castelo, porquê invadir castelos é quase impossível, suas tropas são burras, precisam ficar se espalhando para tapar fossos, não obedecem ordens da forma correta e a única formação que existe é um quadrado e por algum motivo essas tropas burras do caralho precisam dar a volta no mundo, passando por cima de armadilhas e literalmente fogo porque foram designados na ponta contrária da porra do quadrado. Além do jogo ser super irrealista, por quê me diz como diabos um cavaleiro em armadura completa leva dano pra flechas? FLECHAS? E por que as tropas não podem se virar sozinhas? Quase como se fossem robozinhos com chatgpt 2.0 que precisam de constante atenção porque senão eles são mortos por ursos do outro lado do mapa. Não comprem esse jogo se forem invadir castelos porquê é uma merda, jogo o jogo só pela construção do castelo
经典又好玩的游戏
