About the Game
Go to Steam Page

Feel the impact of a living medieval world on your castle economy and siegecraft, as you battle against hostile outlaws, rival lords and the elements themselves in this new narrative RTS set years before the events of the original Stronghold!

Stronghold 4 is the long-awaited next mainline entry in the Stronghold 'castle sim' series, bringing a cinematic story and medieval immersion to the forefront of real-time strategy.

##

Reclaiming the series' roots of medieval England, this latest game marks a return to the simulation of intricate castle life, realism and atmosphere that started it all.

Follow the tale of Penryn of Wethel as his simple shepherd’s life is upended and he is forced through trial by fire to become the leader he sees within himself.

Seek out Penryn's destiny alongside a cast of new and returning characters, as you manifest this humble peasant's potential and lead his forces in search of glory and knighthood. Starring inspired performances by Ben Starr, Samantha Béart, Walles Hamonde and Harry McEntire.

##

Immerse yourself in the cutting-edge visuals and gritty reality of medieval England, from snow hindering crop growth and heavy rain reducing archery range, to deadly castle traps and constructions.

##

All this plays out across larger-than-ever maps, with the bloody sieges and grand warfare of Stronghold feeling more epic than ever before!
