This game is a small evolution over Creeper World 3. Around 45 missions total plus random and user-made maps. If you enjoyed the previous games in the series you will enjoy this one.
The graphics are now 3D but that doesn’t affect the gameplay that much. The only exception is the connection between buildings, which now also takes height into account. You can no longer link from height 1 to height 20 with a simple tower.
An annoying change is that nullification is no longer permanent. You have to keep the nullifier intact and supplied, otherwise the nullfied structure will come back into operation. This is like CW1 where you had no nullifier and instead you had to park a few cannons near each emitter to kill off the creeper before it can spread. CW4’s system is the worst of all the games. Maybe this change was brought about because the circle of power mechanic from CW3 was so OP. But there is a simple solution to that - simply make the nullified structure disappear and leave nothing behind. The ERN system is a good compromise as it retains some of the benefits of the circles of power without becoming OP.

Stronghold: Warlords
i love this. i want all of your other games to be like this but there are a few things i would like. the fire lances i think is the best unit. put 4 of them into a siege tower and walk it through an army of axe men. i would like to see them in difrent clothing though. they give me some sort of native american vibe with the leather and hair going down to the shoulders. i think they would look good in the bow men uniform or as the guy with the fire grenades. they just dont fit i think with the games look but they are so good i use them all the time. in stronghold crusader 2 there is a unit called the ranger. they have bows as thier main attack but can switch to a sword. in japan there were sameri that used a long bow as thier primary but also had a katana because of how iconic it was. i would like to see a unit that is this games ranger like counterpart. i think if you ised orange sameri armor and gave them the ability to call horses to ride like the templars from crusader, that would be realy cool to see! it would also be accurate to ancient japan warfare.

Warlords system is shit. If you take into account that on some maps you are playing against 3 or more opponents that means that you can be facing up to X times troops count, so if the limit is 150, then the computer can attack with 450 troops. Add the warlords into the mix and that number goes up to 600 or 700 to 150 of your own. It is frustrating to even move out at this point because the computer also reinforces at higher rates. Add the constant saving lags, the crashes after loading saved game and the constant messages from the warlords that keep jumping out at the worst possible moment and you have a game which is far from polished. To the developers at Firefly Studios, if anyone is reading this, consider adding like a timer delay before the AI can retake a warlord via diplomatic points in case of capture by force or a condition that if there are player troops in the keep then diplomatic option should be disabled for other players. For this last one I had troops in the keep, babysitting warlord and the AI claimed him with diplomacy points. I mean WTF.

Stronghold Legends: Steam Edition
Stronghold Legends is kind of the the odd child of the entire Stronghold franchise, being the only title featuring fantasy elements.
Arbitrarily, it is also the title which divided people the most in regard whether to like it or not in the past.
Personally, I believe it to be one of the most innovative Stronghold games due to the very fact that a lot of different new mechanics and also tactics were introduced with the likes of giants or dragons as well as magic. Granted, it didn’t look great back then and even remastered it still doesn’t, but gameplay wise it has more than enough depth to make up for it, even although that depth is more shallow than with other Stronghold games due to the fact that the devs tried to open the target audience a little with those fantasy elements.

So if Steam logged all the time I had playing this game on the Disc, I would legit have over a couple thousand hours. This game was my childhood, and a few years ago I convinced my friends to play the multiplayer with me. Once we were finally all into it and knew the mechanics, they closed the multiplayer servers not two months later. Devestated, I still played through all the single player modes, but I did so long for the multiplayer back. But, Steam delivered, and upgraded the game to the Steam edition, reviving the community for the game and allowing us to play multiplayer again (While adding a few new cool features! Workshop is so nice). While my friends and I (Sadly) don’t play this game as much currently, as League of Legends has consumed our lives, whenever we get bored, or when I’m feeling in a particularly mediaval mood, this is always the first game I turn to, as every time I play it I am filled with that sense of nastolgia, and am able to relax to the nice sounds of my catapults tearing down my enemy’s walls.

God of Failure
A fake and unfinished product, and can be seen very fast. Graphics and music aren’t bad, but there is nothing more better to say. No control instructions, no tutorial. No story: only groups of poor orcs that attacking a castle without any other motive than… to be orcs. Isn’t a true Tower Defense game as info tags say in the store page, really is a Time Manager based on traps of single use, and their menu texts are so little that are illegible without a magnifying glass, and isn’t a joke. The player get gold from the beginning only just watching how time goes by ( why it dont happens in real world? ) and can dig to find more for replace or emplace more miserable traps or enhanced the castle lifepoints: and thats all. But any interest is totally ruined by the nasty zoom: has been fixed too low, only rotates 90 degrees to left-right; even roll up-down the screen is not easy, and the full map cannot be see. This product is useless even as a gift because the destinatary will think you hate or despise him.

Interesting looking tower defense game that falls really short. The build traps in time mentality is okay, but combine that with make sure the traps are in perfect location in pathway and traps are really only good for one kill unless perfectly placed and timed and you have a tower defense game that comes off as way harder than it has any right to be.
This sort of master planning may be appreciated by some but I prefer the idea of laying traps and building upon that as the level goes. Here I just throw a grenade down, hopes it kills enough, than hope that my funds refill in time for me to get something else through a build phase and at the correct position to kill another enemy before they mosey on through to my castle. The digging for treasure mechanic was also a bit time consuming when your pressures to properly place and build are time consuming enough under the conditions you have to endure to survive.

Kingdom Wars: The Plague
It seriously needed a extra month or more just making tool tips and basic placements on maps right before EA ,and bear in mind it’s used a massive chunk of a previous game just to start with so it’s not a normal EA from the ground up
The devs say different but it’s pretty similar in play to MKW atm, so if you enjoyed that you’ll like this
Had a full game 30hrs+ and tbh I couldn’t face a replay
the repetition is just too much same units /same maps/ same annoying pre build for resources every single little battle despite the fact the actual battle will only last minutes

The Plague: Kingdom Wars is a very fun game that feels like someone took Medieval 2 TW and Stronghold and smashed them together. It is still early access and in Alpha stage but the potential this game has is staggering.
Gameplay is split between a strategic overworld map similar to TW where you move your armies around, conduct diplomacy and upgrade your various cities and hamlets. Battles switch you to an RTS like system similar again to TW but with the addition of being able to build units, buildings and defences to try and give yourself an edge or tip the balance against your opponent.
