This is a good game. Putting Stronghold in the title I think is a disservice to this game. Earlier strongholds are fun and nostalgic, but this game has more depth. The scenarios are more varied, the troops are unique, the setting and score is excellent, and the campaigns kept me engaged. The missions are like puzzles with multiple solutions. You choose what troops you want to focus on, if you want to focus on diplomatic capture instead and then have your warlords fight for you, etc. Designing kingdoms is fun, but often for me turned into a minmaxing situation due to lack of space, with me trying to get minimal distance from granary/stockpile to resource. Overall, an awesome fresh take on the from Firefly. If you are wanting more of the same Stronghold gameplay as previous games, this game is not it. If you want a fresh take, in a fresh scenery with thoughtful gameplay, you will enjoy it. I, for one, really enjoyed it.
The game really isn't bad. All the reviews are just comparing it to stronghold 2 and stronghold crusader 1, but not everyone have been playing the stronghold series 20+ years. Personally I tried stronghold 1 DE and while I do agree that is a good game, I found it a bit too "old" for my liking. This game is beautiful and good, if you actually know how to adapt to a different stronghold game... Long story short. If you don't like it then it is mostly a failure to adapt or you are too nostalgic.
A Refreshing Twist on the Classic Stronghold Formula As a long-time fan of the Stronghold (Crusader) series, I found Warlords to be a very engaging entry. Here’s a breakdown of why this game is worth your time: Stunning Visuals: The graphics are beautiful, and the attention to detail in the environments and units is impressive. The Warlord System: This is the highlight of the game. Having local rulers/warlords who produce resources and provide strategic advantages adds a whole new layer to the gameplay. Capturing and maintaining their loyalty is a fun challenge; if they become dissatisfied or swayed by enemies, they will rebel, which keeps you on your toes. In-depth Mechanics: The game pays great attention to the economy, markets, and soldier variety. Customization: I loved the ability to choose different colors for your faction and the variety of lords available. Pacing: Because the game is so detailed and tactical, each match requires a lot of time and patience. It’s definitely more “slow-burn” compared to the older Crusader games, which might feel a bit tedious for some. Content behind DLC: The base number of lords feels a bit limited, though this can be expanded through DLCs. If you are a fan of grand strategy or a veteran of the Stronghold series, this is a must-buy. It requires patience, but the depth is rewarding. Highly recommended for strategy enthusiasts!
