When the crusaders came to the Pope and asked him how they would know which people in the city are faithful to God and which are not?
The Pope replied that you need to kill everyone and God will figure it out!
The Crusades are the most brutal and bloody military campaign in which Knights and Governors went to a distant desert to seize valuable resources and violence in the name of God!
Please read the Stronghold HD review at first! Since this is the second part which is a great addition to the first one!
After the first part of the game in which we developed the economy and military affairs in a balanced way, here the main emphasis is on bloody military battles that look simply amazing and epic!
Plot:
Oddly enough in this game it is much more ambitious than in the first part, and here are Insidious desert dunes in which you do not have more friends and everyone around you craves for your blood like the last drop of water!
There is also a large company here which is pleasant to pass and read as an interesting history book!
But also individual missions will not leave you indifferent! On the luscious Oases you can build a good economy and on the hot sand you can spill the blood of your enemies!
Gameplay:
As I said earlier, in this game the main emphasis is on the military battle, so here you can see really epic large-scale military battles between Europe and the Arab world! At the same time, the entire Gameplay from the first part of the economy and the development of the castle and the creation of the army remained the same. Of course there are some changes, but they are more like little things that bring some additional taste and flavor of the East to this game!
Music:
Does Stronghold HD have us immersed in the World of the Middle Ages! Here you are lured by the enchanting East, its stunning melody of caravans and life that penetrates our ears and our hearts and remains there forever!
I also saved all the music of this part to one of the best albums on my phone and listen to it, drink delicious coffee brewed on an open fire and imbued with the enchanting aroma of sweet notes of an Oriental tale!
Graphics:
This game also has an HD version as in the previous part and you can see on the large monitor not only your entire castle and its economic development in the desert, but also an amazing large-scale military battle, and if you run Stronghold Crusader Extreme HD you will get epic large-scale battles with thousands of units on your screen!
At the same time, the texture of the units and all the buildings looks pretty good despite of the fact that this game appeared in 2002 !!
100/100 Crusaders for the Faith! Deus vult!
