This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It took me 20 years to find this game again. I played it when I was 7 or 8 years old on my Uncles computer. I just recently, in my late 20s, found it. GREAT game.
要塞十五年老玩家。我觉得这个决定版手感很烂: 1.滚屏速度拉到最大了还是慢得要死 2.鼠标右键经常一不小心就把屏幕旋转了(原本就有的不便操作,但是现在更容易触发) 3.压缩高度视角的功能被取消了(和按空格平面化不同,空格之后就看不到是什么建筑了,原版的要塞里面右键切换菜单里面的那个压缩高度视角可以看到每个位置是什么建筑) 4.经常莫名奇妙自动触发切屏,原因不明,打得好好的突然给你切屏了,一下子鼠标点到其他地方。 除此以外还有弱智ai的老问题,守城模式下,ai最后一波人经常不进攻,要玩家自己杀出去才能结束游戏。最不能忍的是,你决定版本身就是在原版基础上加了新战役, 结果新战役还要再买DLC。
惊了,很用心的游戏,我甚至元旦玩的时候他语音祝我新年快乐,惊了,感觉真的是很细节锕
Жанр игры описан неправильно, на самом деле это симулятор поиска дырок в стенах размером с пиксель из-за которых противник спокойно входит в твой замок и все сносит
I didn't play Stronghold back in the day, so this is a fresh view from an RTS veteran from the 90s. I completely understand the original devs intension with this game - attempting to bridge the gap between RTS and city builder. The problem is that it is the jack of all trades and master of none. Once you beat the campaign and run a couple of skirmishes, you've seen all there is to see. I was left feeling like I wanted to either go play a dedicated medieval city builder - something like Manor Lords or Farthest Frontier - or any RTS. Due to the setting, it pushed me to go play some Age of Empires. Multiplayer is fairly non-existent as the game isn't catered well to do so. Battles end up turning into the same kind of grind holed up in each other's bases. I could go on, but you get the gist. Clearly, I just don't think this game is for me as it doesn't push it's merging genres far enough to keep me interested. That being said, the aesthetics are really great. They did an excellent job enhancing the old models.
Если вы думаете, что эту игра аналог Stronghold Crusader, то вы совершенно ошибаетесь. В этой игре нельзя играть с ботами по сетевой. В этой игре нельзя поставить самостоятельно себе карту, выбрать ботов и играть как в Stronghold Crusader. Здесь можно играть только по заданному сценарию. Мне все это совершенно не нравится и играть в такое я даже не собираюсь. Stronghold Crusader намного лучше и интереснее, в него хотя бы играть самостоятельно можно!
[Don`t buy this Definitve Edition - buy Stronghold Crusader HD if you like the build up and vs KI fighting] + Optic nice remake + you can play with friends BUT - most maps are just kill all enemy troups ... (while have the castle) !!! - or destroy enemy lord (starting with 500 troups and attack the castle) --- There are NO games with an enemy KI building up a castle possible!!! Just mass troops suiciding :( So boring ... the kind of building up a base was the fun of Stronghold ... there is nothing here anymore (- they expect you to make you own maps and your own map scripts to have an enemy)
Интересная старенькая игрушка с глубоким продумыванием ландшафтных и крепостных пикселей, через которые, спустя продолжительное время упорной игры, протиснуться орды красных обожателей панталон жены твоего лорда и устроят тебе вечер ярких незабываемых впечатлений. Ставлю лосяру.
