About the game
Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition is an updated edition of the classic real-time strategy game set in the Holy Land during the Crusades. Players build and manage a desert citadel, balancing the castle economy with its defences while commanding troops in battle. This definitive edition features reworked graphics in the classic isometric style, along with remastered music and voice work, including new recordings from the original game's actors. It expands the original with 8 new playable units, 4 new AI lords to face and several additional campaigns. Beyond two new historical campaigns and four 'Sands of Time' skirmish trails for solo play, there is a new co-op trail for teaming up with a friend, as well as online skirmishes supporting up to 8 players. Skirmish mode includes player-requested features such as larger map sizes, custom options and various quality-of-life improvements.
