Continuation of a series of classic strategies for fans of the Middle Ages and jousting tournaments. This time, the creators of Stronghold Crusader 2 invite us to go to 1189, and the countries of the Middle East were chosen as the scene of action. Since almost 15 years have passed since the release of the first part, the graphics and physics of its sequel are made on a completely new engine using Havok Physics. Realistic and hardcore gameplay will appeal to those who are not afraid of difficulties. This is a real castle simulator with original and addictive gameplay.

Old school strategy

An amazing mixture of two main game genres awaits us at once: real-time RTS and city building simulator. There are 2 main factions, to any of which you can join, and then go through their tasks. Real-life historical heroes such as Richard the Lionheart and the Sultan of Syria diversify the storyline. Try to complete 2 campaigns separately, and then, after accumulating the required amount of experience, take part in a multiplayer game. It will be an uncompromising war for the right to own and control the Holy Lands. Prove that you are worthy of the title of the great Lord.

The gameplay is an old-school strategy game with some turn-based elements, so for some the gameplay may seem long. Find the balance of power and learn how to simultaneously manage armies consisting of 20 different units. Only tactical and strategic actions thought out in advance will allow us to defeat all enemies. Organize a war against the superior forces of artificial intelligence, and then test your strength in multiplayer battles. The kit also includes a graphical map editor along with scripts, allowing you to create your own from scratch.

Long awaited sequel

Some of them have been waiting for the release of the third part of the halva for decades, but the fans of Stronghold Crusader 2 were more fortunate. It took the developers only twelve years to gather their spirit, strength and team and finally create a continuation of the first game, albeit an indirect one. The first part is known to many, as it is ranked among the classics of the strategy genre. Today we invite you to download the torrent of this toy, despite the fact that the statistics of reviews on Steam seem to hint that it is better for you to be: 1) an unpretentious fan, 2) an unassuming gamer. Well, yes, after all, twelve years have passed, and the decision of the developers to “stay true to their roots” has a downside. Progress still went far, and some game mechanics are simply outdated. And some of them, along with plot moves, have become boring, have become almost banal. But give Stronghold Crusader 2 a try. Suddenly you like it.

medieval setting

Why is it worth downloading the torrent of this strategy? We don’t know what you like, so here are some features that you might find attractive. In this game, you have the opportunity to build the castle of your dreams and fill it with traps in such a way that the devil cannot set foot on it. If you and your friends want to capture someone, trample, destroy, fill your face, but you are intelligent people and doing it in reality is not yours (which we encourage), then please – in this game you can join forces against AI. But if you don’t want to be content with artificial intelligence alone, then there is a multiplayer mode for you, in which eight people mixed with NPCs will fight against each other. And for those who like to build, there is a sandbox mode with an endless world.
