About the game

Travel back in time to the legendary crusades for the holy land, in this expanded definitive edition of the fan-favourite Stronghold Crusader! Engage in historical desert skirmishes reimagined with new gameplay content and upgraded visuals, faithfully reforged using the source artwork, music, returning voice talent and veteran developers of the original Stronghold.

Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition expands on the original game with 8 new playable units, 4 fresh AI lords to face off against and several additional campaigns. Play alone in 2 new historical campaigns and 4 'Sands of Time' skirmish trails or team up with a friend in the all-new co-op trail!

Dive into skirmish mode with the addition of player-requested features including larger map sizes, custom options and quality of life improvements. Complete with never-before-seen characters, soldiers, strongholds, campaigns and more, this definitive edition is designed to test your mettle while offering new graphics, upgraded from their original pre-rendered isometric glory.

Whether you’re flexing your might against 20 challenging AI lords, charging through the new co-op trail with a friend or simply marvelling at your majestic desert citadel, Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition allows veterans and newcomers alike to revisit a real-time strategy classic and play exactly the way they wish to.

Witness the struggle of wills between Richard the Lionheart, King of England, and Sultan Saladin, spearhead of the Islamic domain and founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. Command war-honed crusader warriors as they brave the merciless Arabian sands, then as Saladin lead a mighty army drawn from every corner of the Middle East to repel the invading zealots.

Don your Templar armour and relive wars that have shaped the world for a millennia, with historic campaigns from the First, Second and Third Crusades, as well as conflicts within the individual crusader states. Experience epic battles such as Nicaea, Heraclea and the sieges of Jerusalem and Antioch, rebuilt with new visual detail and a fully remastered soundtrack courtesy of legendary Stronghold series composer Robert L. Euvino.

CLAIM YOUR BIRTHRIGHT and build a thriving desert city with a full castle economy and vicious defences!
COMMAND NEW UNITS in the form of 8 brave Bedouin warriors with unique attributes, strengths and abilities.
CLASH AGAINST AI LORDS in skirmish mode, with 4 all-new adversaries employing unique castles and tactics.
PROVE YOURSELF across 2 new historical campaigns, before facing the challenge of 4 'Sands of Time' skirmish trails.
SHARE THE LOAD in a new co-op trail, play together against the AI in skirmish or go head-to-head with 8 players online.
BESIEGE NEW BATTLEFIELDS using larger map sizes, new multiplayer maps and Workshop support for custom scenarios.
ADMIRE THINE KINGDOM with remastered visuals and music, as well as new recordings from the original game's actors.

Which regions does the key activate in?

The key activates with no regional restrictions — in any country, on a Steam account from any region. Once activated, the game stays on your account for good.

How soon does the code arrive after payment?

Keys are issued automatically, around the clock: the code appears on the order page within 2–3 minutes.

What to do if the key does not activate?

First check your Steam account region: the key activates in the countries of its own region, and a mismatch is the most common reason activation fails. If the region is right, open “Orders” in the site header, pick the order and write in the chat — you can attach a screenshot of the error, and an operator replies.

What is a Steam gift and how is it different from a key?

A gift is a present our bot sends straight to your Steam account via your profile link: no code to enter, the game appears in your library once you accept the gift. A key is an activation code you enter yourself in the Steam client. You choose the format on the purchase panel.

Which gift region should I choose?

The one your Steam account is registered in: Steam will not accept a gift from another region. The region is shown in your Steam account settings under "Store country". "CIS countries" means Belarus, Armenia, Georgia and other CIS countries.

How will I receive the gift?

After payment you enter a link to your Steam profile and the bot sends the gift straight to the account — you only need to accept it in Steam. It usually takes 2–5 minutes, around the clock.

What if the account already has this game?

Steam will not let you accept a gift of a game already in your library — check the library before buying. If it happens, write in the order chat: we will refund you.
