Stronghold 2: Steam Edition lets players dig into true castle-life gameplay, giving you the choice to entertain your subjects or rule with an iron fist as you dispense medieval justice to overworked and malnourished peasants. Set against a disintegrating kingdom where powerful barons jostle for control, it falls to you to hold back the tides of ambition and unite the land under the one true King.

The game builds out its medieval setting with real depth, featuring an intricate economy alongside siege warfare and dedicated crime and punishment systems. Classic medieval events add flavor and unpredictability, ensuring that managing your castle involves far more than simply stacking walls and raising armies.

As the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning original Stronghold, this Steam Edition arrives packed with new additions layered onto the classic Stronghold formula. Combining simulation and strategy, Stronghold 2 offers a detailed take on castle building and medieval rule for PC players who enjoy balancing the demands of economy, justice and war.
