..::: 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!

The play here is... fun. I'm not a mobile gamer, so some things throw me off, but I'm a classic stronghold PC player, the graphics, the vibe, the MUSIC. Phenomenal here. The combat is wonky and could use some heavy rework, but it is kinda unique to me. I really wanna see where this goes. The game loop feels satisfying, if we could knock out some UI and AI issues, you really could have a pretty unique experience. Please don't give up on this yet.

I loved the PC version and I really wanted this to live up to that expectation. There are some small issues with tapping not working and a general lack of quests which makes progression confusing. The biggest issues that can be fixed by the devs is not having targets to help you progress through the counties and not having enough information about how to upgrade buildings to unlock things like stronger troop types. Overall it has so much potential, but I feel frustrated playing.

Fun way to experience Stronghold on mobile. There is only 1 paid currency but if you are patient there is absolutely no need to buy it. One thing I don't like is that the economic, military buildings and the castle are on different screens unlike the PC game. But I guess a limitation of the platform. Overall I recommend this game for a tiny bit of Stronghold nostalgia on your phone.
