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!

Einfach ein gutes Spiel, auch wenn man es 2026 nochmal spielt! :-) Hoffentlich wird das neue Stronghold die gleichen Stärken haben und noch ein paar Komfortfunktionen mitbringen.
非常好玩
Das war schon immer ein Wohlfühl-Spiel. Auf deutsch! Die Stimmen, die Namen, die Musik....nach so vielen Jahren immer noch so cozy, wenn auch nicht ganz leicht. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
I Really Enjoy Playing this game, I wish they kinda added more to it, such as different houses instead of just Hovels, different kind of castle designs, more unit variety, also quality of castle life, could also be better, but it's really good.
I played the HD version of this a million times, and I was pleased to find it on steam for my new PC. I think the re-playability is there. Have I bought this game twice? Yes Have I played the combat campaign a million times? Yes Have I ever beat the economy campaign, even on easy? NO >:( Can't tell you why. It is just addicting and fun and itches that itch that my brain gets sometimes
the best castle and combat sim out there. Stronghold and Firefly do it so well.
Josef mi natrhl prdel tak nehorázným způsobem, že už v životě nezapnu strategii.
