Stronghold Legends

Stronghold Legends Review

I recently received Stronghold Legends as a gift. Since then, I've really enjoyed this version of Stronghold. I'm quite familiar with Stronghold 2 (the prior version of Stronghold) and found playing Legends to be an easy transition. The graphics are sharp, colorful, and realistic. The AI is reasonable, and the computer makes good decisions which have been quite challenging during the missions played so far. The game is set up where you can play online against other players, or you can play directly against the computer. If you choose the computer, initially, there are 2 routes: the campaign and Legend trails route. I'm currently playing the campaign, which has been challenging at the moderate setting (vs. the easy or hard setting). Playing the campaign and Legends trail helps you to master the economy and battle aspects of the game. Then, you are free to set up your own skirmishes with the computer in Kingmaker mode, etc. Overall, the game is challenging and provides many hours of fun for the gamer who enjoys simulated castle adventures.
