Almost feels like a Knock-Off Stronghold game.The release of Stronghold: Warlords was delayed twice, but tomorrow another installment of the popular strategy game series will finally hit Steam.

Sometimes so often in some missions that it's a test of patience and seeing if you can manage the amount of trash-tier meatshield spam you need and doing the actual objective. Ive been playing Stronghold since the original release and still consider Stronghold/Stronghold Crusader games the best of the series.

But as an RTS, it feels like it's still living in the mists of the past. I can't even think of something it does well now that I'm trying to. Stronghold Warlords continues this tradition with a new flavor as it takes us, for the first time in the series, to the battlefields of ancient and medieval East Asia. Thoroughly mediocre or just bad in all aspects.
