About Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition

Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition carries you back to the legendary crusades for the holy land in an expanded take on the fan-favorite castle sim. It reimagines historical desert skirmishes with new gameplay content and upgraded visuals, all faithfully reforged using the original's source artwork, music, returning voice talent and veteran developers to preserve the spirit of the game while giving it fresh polish.

The definitive edition builds on the original with 8 new playable units, 4 additional AI lords to challenge and several extra campaigns. You can play alone across 2 new historical campaigns and 4 Sands of Time skirmish trails, or team up with a friend in an all-new co-op trail. Skirmish mode also gains player-requested features like larger map sizes, custom options and quality-of-life improvements, complete with never-before-seen characters, soldiers, strongholds and campaigns.

Whether you're testing your might against 20 challenging AI lords, charging through the co-op trail with a friend, or simply admiring your desert citadel, this edition welcomes both veterans and newcomers to a real-time strategy classic. With new graphics upgraded from the original pre-rendered artwork, Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition lets simulation and strategy fans play exactly the way they wish on PC.
