![]() What do you longtime fans and newcomers alike think of Crusader II? Is it an appropriately streamlined sequel, or is it a pared down HD remake? If they put just a little more effort into Crusader II, it might be a masterpiece. These half-hearted "sequels" and remakes cheapen their franchises, and that's a shame, because there's nothing quite like the Stronghold series. Are the new troops and 3D engine worth full price? To some, yes, but not to those already burned by the messy Stronghold 3. It saddens me when HD remakes try to ride the inevitable nostalgia of fans while offering no substantial gameplay upgrade from their predecessors. While the graphics are absolutely better than ever before, there is a strange lack of speech and therefore humor. There are considerably fewer building options in terms of both industry and fortifications. The fear/love mechanic of Crusader or the disease, crime, honor, and monastery mechanics of Stronghold 2 are not in this new game, which offers nothing to replace them. Here's the thing, though: Crusader II has less polish than Crusader I and incorporates none of the unique mechanics of Stronghold 2 or 3. Basically, Crusader II was marketed a sequel to to the original SH: Crusader, but everybody knew that there were three titles in between that weren't well-received. Totalbiscuit did a great job alluding to this in his first impressions video, but he sounded a bit confused because he hadn't played a Stronghold game in a long time. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
