Stronghold Kingdoms is a 2012 massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game video game with a Medieval castle building theme. It was an installment in the Stronghold series of games. It is the first game in the MMO genre to be developed by Firefly Studios.[2]

Development

Work on the game began with a small team of developers in 2007, the early alpha phase was started at the beginning of 2009, after which testers were able to play in a closed setting for the first time. The first alpha test began in 2009 and was open to 150 players.[3] From November 2010, an open beta ran for almost two years until the game was officially released on 17 October 2012 when it achieved gold status.[4]

Reception

Stronghold Kingdoms has achieved a Metacritic score of 75, indicating generally favorable reviews.[5]

Strategy Informer gave a score of 85/100, with reviewer Emmanuel Brown describing it as "mission accomplished" and saying that "for the most part, they get it absolutely right."[6] Gaming XP's review praised how the classic Stronghold format was "implemented very well for this MMO".[7]
