Description

Journey to distant Arabian lands renowned for brave warriors and fearsome weaponry in Stronghold Crusader HD. The highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Stronghold, Crusader throws you into historic battles from the Crusades with fiendish AI opponents, new units, 4 historical campaigns and over 100 unique skirmish missions.



Relive the historic Crusades as Richard the Lionheart and the Saladin, Sultan of Syria. Lead a determined group of Crusaders, forged by centuries of barbaric warfare, amidst the haze of the desert heat then fight for your freedom as the mighty Saladin.

Stronghold Crusader HD features several campaigns documenting the First, Second and Third Crusades, as well as conflicts within the individual Crusader states. Battles such as Nicea, Heraclea, siege of Antioch, Krak des Chevaliers and the Siege of Jerusalem all feature, as do the Crusader Trails from the Stronghold Warchest and Stronghold Crusader Extreme.



With new high resolution graphics you have more control over your soldiers than ever before. The new HD battlefield view allows you to zoom out and play in real-time, with the whole map on one screen. Advance on the castle gates while flanking the enemy from behind, feign retreat and lead your foe into a deadly trap or just sit back and watch the destruction unfold.

Both Stronghold Crusader and Stronghold Crusader Extreme are included in Stronghold Crusader HD. Extreme plays exactly like the original Stronghold Crusader, only with a few additions. The unit cap has been increased from 1000 to a staggering 10,000 troops, special Tactical Powers such as the Arrow Volley can be used and new buildings make their appearance alongside the Crusader Extreme skirmish trail.



  • Join the Crusaders or the Saladin’s forces in four historical campaigns.
  • Design and build your desert fortress complete with new siege engines and castle defenses.
  • Fight through 100 unique skirmish missions, each more challenging than the last.
  • Command new units with unique abilities, such as the stealthy Assassin and nimble Horse Archer.
  • View the entire battlefield on a single screen with support for new HD resolutions.
  • Play the original game on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 with added compatibility.

Very easy

  • Don't no
how to download the game
Steam, why is it the NPC's gameplay is sped up to the point it is impossible to play? Guys, I have my game speed set to the lowest setting in game settings, but less than 5 minutes after beginning a game the NPC's are already geared up with advanced weaponry, engineering, advanced castle walls and they wipe me out while I'm still chopping wood... Can yall please fix this incredible game? It's unplayable and a waste of money. Huge disappointment!
  • What it once was.
  • It is unplayable due to NPC's beginning every map at an advanced stage.
I love this game, a part because of it's amazing gameplay and historical campaigns, but also because I find Crusades really interesting. It still has a nice community and you can find MP matches easily ( most of those servers are played by pro players who will kick your *** ). Overall I recommend this game to everyone.
  • Amazing gameplay
  • Lots of missions
  • Historical campaings
  • You recieve an Extreme version, which is fun because of a 10k troops cap
  • Lots of game modes
  • Kinda difficult for starters ( tutorial doesn't explain everything )
  • Extreme version has unbalanced difficulty
so excited to replay this game but i guess my memory tricked me cause this is garbage. ignoring the old graphics and all the game itself is disappointing. AoE , any of them, much much better.
this game is just horrible. i do not recommend
