охуенная игра. любим такое
Stronghold is a classic castle-building strategy game that still holds up thanks to its unique atmosphere and satisfying mix of economy and warfare. Building and defending your fortress feels rewarding, and the campaign offers plenty of memorable moments.
Excellent jeu nostalgique
очень крутая игра где ты можешь стать крутым милордом или снова услышать "ваша популярность падает!". там очень крутые битвы
just Great
Es todo un clásico
After 27 hours with Stronghold HD, I can confidently say that it still captures what made the original Stronghold games so memorable. Having played several previous titles in the Stronghold series, returning to this version felt both nostalgic and surprisingly enjoyable. The combination of castle building, resource management, defensive planning, and large-scale battles remains extremely satisfying. Designing a strong economy, keeping the population happy, and watching a carefully constructed castle survive an enemy siege is still one of the best experiences the series offers. The campaign missions provide a good mix of challenges, while the free-build and combat modes offer plenty of replay value. The HD presentation improves the experience without removing the classic visual style and atmosphere. The voice acting, music, unit dialogue, and medieval setting give the game a personality that many modern strategy games lack. Some parts of the interface and unit pathfinding can feel dated, especially when compared with newer strategy games. However, these issues rarely take away from the overall experience. Stronghold HD remains a highly entertaining castle-building strategy game and an excellent reminder of why the Stronghold series became so popular. For longtime Stronghold players, this is a great return to the series’ roots. For new players, it is an affordable and enjoyable introduction to classic real-time strategy and castle management. Highly recommended for fans of medieval strategy, castle building, and the Stronghold series.
