So, this is my initial thoughts of the game. I have not spent a lot of time in this game but I wanted people to understand what the game is like: Cons: The game seems to be stuck in the early 2000s. Graphically, some of the controls, navigaing through all the menus really seems to be something from yesteryear. For the most part this does not bother me I am just hoping though the development the graphics get a big update with more polish. This game seems to be a bit pricey for what you are getting. Now with that being said I still am early on and it could really open up at which case I would update this statement. At the same time this is not a big corporation and they need support. I do not have a problem paying what I did. If you really love this genre of game then you will see all the pros and not have a problem with the price. UPDATE: The more that I have played it the more I believe the price point was at a good mark. For everything you are getting for this game the price is a go...

Firstly, this isn't so much a review as it is my first thoughts- which you can see in my video in more detail. https://youtu.be/SQNys-PoT3Y I think it's a real shame that this game doesn't seem to have as much interest from the community as it deserves. So far I am really enjoying it; mix Settlers, Powermonger and Banished together and you will have a reasonable idea of what this game is about- I am only 6 hours in and don't really feel I have scratched the surface. This is a decent village building game with elements of conquest- which might take a little bit of learning for anyone unfamiliar with using the arrow keys to navigate- but I really think it deserves a lot more attention, I hope when I look back here or update my 'review' I find my words here are swamped beneath a ton of other reviews. Thanks for your time and If you try the game I hope you enjoy.

I bought the game today and I like the fact you dont need to micro manage everythng. Key factors: Build resources your people need. Food, wood, etc.. Defense Setup a nice wall around your critical areas watch the stats of your peoples needs at the top. They dont need houses as far so enjoy that. A lot of work went into this game and it shows. It has a leader board you can show off how well your doing against others. Build more villages and keeps and expand your kingdom. Towers are key to defend your villages from wolves as soon as possible. Make sure to have water as some production requires it and weather can cause fires. Plan plan plan. Cons: The only issue I had was alt tab caused my game to crash but i was able to recover it when i reloaded the game. It actually saves a crash file and allows you to restore. Well done game and I look foward to more gameplay and features from the developer.

This 500mg game is way too expensive for what it is. The game run runs poorly. The bright green eye burning colour of the landscape vanish after about 5 seconds of game play and leaves an even more eye burning white void in its place. WSAD keys arnn't a default setting. Game is just annoying from start to the 10 minutes of frustrated finish. Refunded Edit: Apparently the landscape was bugged and is said to be fixed. This is a good thing. It is still a little too expensive in my opinion but maybe with more content or on a steam special I would give it another go.

I can say this game is awesome! I can make tools and weapons and i can recruit siege units. To gather food (Survival) is one of the main core of this game and i can build vegetables, pig farms, bread. i can prospect to find iron stone gold. You need to build keep for your lord to have rank. You can build market and buy/sell goodies to your local trader. I can build well to loadup the fire tower to prevent fires and such. This game have an very clever AI system. This game have gamemodes like.. I can play with strong NPCs/AIs or i can play "Builder Mode" so builder mode is like i can do whatever i want and i can enable an option to have every 2 years to be attacked from barbarians. Another element when it winter comes there is wolfs to attack your people. The only bad is the people is a bit buggy like they have a strange movement... I totally recommend this game and worth its money! And another thing.. The Developers is very friendly and they are active on forums and they can solve your...

An attempt to create a hybrid between Settlers and Crusaders. As often - great idea ruined by poor implementation. Buggy game mechanics and awful unit control and AI makes this game barely playable and its military aspect useless.

Villagers got killed by wild animals,fire and barbarians, so built some more, repopulated and became a thriving kingdom. will do it all over again :D

This game has great potential. I know I only played a short bit but it was to check it out and see if it was going to be what I wanted. Tutorial is not quite up to snuff and roads are a pia to make in the beginning until you figure it out. I had squiggle roads all over the place lol. Otherwise I think it has great potential and hope the developers keep upgrading it. I don't have great graphics in this computer and have trouble with some of the really high graphics games but this one I had no issues. It's not *top of the line* graphics but it's good enough for me. Reminds you a bit of Banished yet it seems more medieval and I do hope they offer more buildings down the road.

What Stronghold 3 could have been.

Excellent game. Great attention to details. Very nice graphics, music, and effects. The game runs very smoothly for a first release.
