★★★★☆ MÀHMŐŪD ÀHMĒD · Apr 14, 2026
It's good, but there are server errors; sometimes it crashes, and sometimes there's a pug also It's very slow on the server, I don't know why!
★★★★★ Andrei Oltean · Jan 2, 2025
Guys, there is a Bug on Duncombe District. It's about the map, you can not add the 3rd Stone Quarry nor Iron, coal mines. The terrain is not created as it should. Please support the game. You can add a lot of good options and things in the game as: Guilds and Guild Wars The possibility to inspect the towns and castles of players from the leaderboard and to inspect the miscellaneous from their castels Missions of the day/week, challenges etc. A market to sell the castle items would be GREAT
★★★★☆ Loose Bruce · Mar 5, 2025
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 want to 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.
★★☆☆☆ HARDY sporTMAN · Feb 3, 2025
Apparently you are doing your best to shattered my fantastic memory to legendary stronghold Series....AI troops are awful. They stuck in a corner And easily they are killed!!! Please Solve This problem. Thanks

The adaptive AI changes during game play. Also, it's inconsistent with game development for better players. Maybe it's restructured in a bad way in the beginning if you want advance and just build the banquet area you just do it with stone
★☆☆☆☆ brian haas · Jun 29, 2026
Remember when Stronghold used to be a fun kingdom building strategy? Then Stronghold Kingdoms came out, and it took 20 hours to build a single tower? This is got to be one of the worst mobile games I have ever played. There is no offline at all. You have to manually collect everything every 5, 10 etc. minutes. Then you are forced to kill other players because attacking the AI castle is never net positive gain. So many bugs still and nothing is explained. You just click collect and rebuild.
★☆☆☆☆ Matt Brown · Jul 3, 2026
Not really a good look when you lose the tutorial keep map because your peasants just keep bouncing off each other in front of the keep door. Unfortunately unable to fully test the game because it kept happening for 10 attempts before I just uninstalled. Little surprised a) that there is unit collision like that and b) that it kept happening no matter where I dropped the squad on the starting assault points.

..::: 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!

Please Note: Stronghold Castles is a free to play MMO RTS, however players are able to purchase game items using real money via in-app purchases. If you don’t wish to use this feature you can add authentication for in-app purchases on your mobile device and enjoy a completely free to play experience. Stronghold Castles also requires a network connection to play.
