Great Castle Sim....
User Rating: 8.7 | Stronghold PC
This is the greatest castle sim that i have played in a long time. First off, the graphics are great. Everything in the game has great details. The stone walls will start to deteriotate if they are damaged and you can make out the rungs of ladders. The graphics are nice because they don't need a high tech video card in order to run the game. You can either choose between the "Military Campaign" or the "Economic Campaign". In the military campaign, most of the missions are you defending your castle from oncoming assaults. This is the most entertaining part of the game. In order for you to defend your castle, you have to assign citizens to do work. Examples are cutting wood, mining stone, etc. While doing this you still have to create and army which will defend your people. Certain missions in the military campaign require you to attack an enemy castle. These missions are the most difficult and require the best strategies. There is a diverse amount of military units ranging from the Crossbowman to the Engineer in which you can attack the enemy castle with. In the economic campaign you bassically have a goal that you have to acquire in a unlimited amount of time and you don't have to worry about attacks from any enemies. Example: Make 200 barrels of ale. For the cheap price, this game is worth every penny. The missions keep you informed on what is going on in the game, and it will make you want to play the game again and again. I reccomend this game for anyone interested in a very entertaining castle sim.
