Stronghold Crusader 2 Reviews

For old, war-tested Stronghold players Crusader 2 is a triumphant evolution of the game that they’ve held dear for the last twelve years. For the rest of us though, there is perhaps no better time to see what all the fuss is about.

I started off this review by shoving Stronghold 3 under the rug. Lifting up the rug's corner and comparing the game to Stronghold Crusader 2, I'm oh so happy with Firefly's latest. I would not recommend it as a single-player game. It simply doesn't have enough flesh on the bones to be played that way for more than a few days. Fortunately, Crusader was never meant to be played alone. It is a multiplayer siege fest that excels when played against human opponents, offering a unique yet merry kind of chaos only found in Stronghold games.
