When you use a trebuchet (an enormous catapult) to launch a diseased cow over an enemy's walls and watch his population drop like flies, you can't help but get that warm fuzzy "I love this game" feeling. [Dec 2002, p.149]

Basically, Crusader is just Stronghold but browner, and whether you like it or not will probably have a lot to do with whether you played Stronghold and how much you liked it.

It looks wonderful, plays like a dream and deserves a place in the games collection of any self-respecting strategy fan immediately.

Really loved this game, just finished the warchest trail, the new campaign in the stronghold crusader. The OG trail was there too. Fascinating castle game tho

Stronghold Crusader es un videojuego solido que utiliza el mismo motor gráfico de Stronghold HD, si bien las misiones son muy similares a las de la primera entrega eso no le quita lo entretenidas que son, nos encontraremos con personajes icónicos de Stronghold HD y también podremos utilizar nuevas unidades que en la primera entrega no estaban. recomiendo mucho este juego si eres fan de la saga, y si te ha gustado el Stronghold HD este es un juego que tienes que probar.

An interesting twist is the lack of fog of war. This takes a while to get used to, but works surprisingly well.

Taking place in a barren desert is a nice twist and makes the player go for some other strategy that he may not be used to while playing similar games where resources are plentiful.

Compensating for the lack of visual variety is the sheer wealth of interesting and engaging play modes. [Jan 2003, p.83]

The Arabs are the most disappointing addition to the game. Instead of a fully realized faction, they're window dressing. [Jan 2003, p.110]
