What players say

Players are split: some say it's a decent fresh take on the series with nice graphics and sandbox mode, while others find the campaign too short with no time for castle building, and maps are too small. Long-time fans often compare it unfavorably to Stronghold 1 and Crusader. There are reports of crashes and bugs, and some players criticize the depiction of Vietnamese as a tribe.
