..::: MESSAGE FROM FIREFLY STUDIOS :::..

With Stronghold Castles, our goal at Firefly has been to create an engaging strategy experience that is easy to understand, but also challenging to master! While the management and city building elements should be familiar to fans of our previous strategy games, players new and old should find the core gameplay, with its intuitive controls and vibrant art, to be mechanically deep and rewarding. There’s nothing quite like Stronghold Castles, so dive in and create the kingdom of your dreams!

Firefly has always had tremendous respect for our players, so we’d love to hear your thoughts on Stronghold Castles! Please try the game out for yourself (it’s free to play) and send us a message using one of the community links above.

Thank you for playing from everyone at Firefly!

## Stronghold Castles Reviews in United States

### *---- "Game glitches"
When you try to increase a units strength, the game keeps having errors and you have to reboot and you lose what you’ve been doing maybe if you wanted to pay money to buy enough so you could automatically upgrade them it might work but it shouldn’t air every time you try to increase a units strength
-- Aggravated disappointed, 2026-03-04

### **--- "Needs more bugs worked out to be playable."
The game is enjoyable but I’ve had multiple occasions now where the game crashes as says an error occurred. Wouldn’t be a big deal if it auto saved every 30 seconds or every time you placed/moved a new structure but I’m getting tired of having to re do 5 minutes of play time every time it crashes.
-- C428t, 2026-01-30

### ***** "Stronghold Crusader port"
It’s still not Stronghold that we all waiting for.
Please make a port an old Stronghold Crusader game to iOS. I am big fan of PC Stronghold. I wish I have it on my tablet.
-- M.Girr, 2025-09-25

### *---- "I really want to like it but it crashes"
I am getting the hang of this game but it crashes constantly. Four times today already which sets you back because it doesn’t save very often. I don’t like having to play over again and wasting my time.
-- Boo!scareyou?, 2025-07-08

### ***-- "Good game"
😬
-- sihad_harki, 2025-06-22

### ***** "Oh"
This is certainly not the original Stronghold, but it's also a good game, please add it so that all AI castles can attack the player.
-- Stronghold top, 2025-04-07

### *---- "Constantly Crashing on IPad"
The Game is slow to Start. It Constantly is Crashing on IPad.
-- 123ANAME, 2024-11-15

### ***-- "Please fix"
The original stronghold has such a great following and fan base I feel like they tried to reinvent the wheel and made it square:( I would have gladly paid 20 or 30 dollars for something that played much like the original why do PvP you don’t need it or separate it or incorporate it a different way like team play so hard to get gold build army fight npc’s so much potential here developers please do research and consider what made stronghold so amazing this game could be bank but I feel like its going the direction of all the other app games I don’t play anymore
-- GDen01, 2024-11-03

### *---- "Absolutely terrible"
Constant issues….troops getting stuck in combat…generally boring to play
-- SalukiFire, 2024-10-30

### *---- "Disappointed"
They just keep getting worse. Just port the original I’ll pay $20-$30 again
-- Crossbonzz, 2024-10-21

### *---- "Too slow to do anything"
I wanted to love this since I am a longtime stronghold fan but this game seems to be intentionally slow paced. Takes FOREVER to make progress. Very monotonous and boring.
-- Council Jim, 2024-10-21

### *---- "Вы серьёзно?"
В игре можно было сделать невероятные возможности. а вы сделали тупую нажима с пятью зданиями и кучей предложений купить что-то за реальные деньги? Та игра которую на коленке за 3 минуты, без какого-либо смысла и прочего, которых выпускают по 1 000 000 штук в день тупо копирующих друг друга? Это наверно какой-то прикол да?)
-- Greendelwald8, 2024-10-18

### *---- "Not ready as of 10/15"
The game just launched and is barely functional. It is WAY off. Not sure why they didn’t delay launch. Not sure it will even be a good game from what I can see so far. I’ll try it again in a month and change my rating if working by then.
-- WhiskeyRage, 2024-10-15

### ***-- "Slow upgrades - hard to get gold"
I LOVE the original Stronghold games. I was looking forward to playing this. Not like the OG Stronghold at all. Crafting takes a LONG TIME as well as upgrades. Can’t tax the few villagers that you have too much. Gold hard to come by - can’t even buy it. No guides or tutorials.. Could ya warn someone it’s PVP?????

Come on FireFly - y’all can do better.
-- Deninla, 2024-10-14

### ***** "Thank youuu"
Always been a fan of stronghold:) TY:)
-- Jay80888, 2024-10-14

### ***-- "I expected more"
This game plays like a mobile game from 2010, I used to be a big fan of stronghold kingdoms, and I was hoping this would be more like it.
-- RedneckCommie, 2024-10-14
