Pros and cons of Strongholds app for iPhone and iPad
Strongholds app good for
It took me a few tries to get to used to it but after that it is a really fun game the only thing wrong is that there is no story mode
For .99 Cents This App Is Pretty Good, Keeps You Busy For A Bit. One Thing I Would Like To See Added Is Difficulty Settings, Unlockables, Story Mode, Maybe With Alternate Choices That Lead To Different Endings... Like Choosing Who You Want To Attack Or Whos Side You Want To Be On So That Later In The Game/Story You Have Optional Allies With Different Special Skills Or Enemies With Special Skills That Can Affect The Way War Goes.

Pretty nice and interesting game. Reminds me some card games from the past... I like it. Techno setting rocks here.
Hmm…
Advantages:
- Easy
- Pretty
- Fair AI
- Nice graphics
Disadvantages:
- Cant turn sound off by hardware switcher. (That’s a bit annoying).
- No landscape mode, probably it would be better, but who knows.
My Rate: 5+
But one level is not what I expected. This could be a trial version, not a full game. More levels and stuff and this will be a one good game!
Hehehe the most funnies thing i ever saw in Appstore...
Excellent graphics, would take some time to master this game, definitely not the "purchase, finish and throw away" thing.
Too bad I spent the last of my app money this months. Totally worth it though.
Some bad moments
Its a fun game! Just wish it would
stop crashing every time I tap on resume game though! Developers are doing nothing about it :(
Remove OpenFeint! Those annoying "can not connect" pop ups are a deal breaker here. 1 star until its removed!
Okay... so its some sort of card game. I hope to figure it out soon so I can enjoy it. Im not getting it yet.
Too easy. You can just rush build your stronghold to 60. I just won a round in under 2 minutes.
I enjoyed the free version and decided to buy the full to support the programmer. Ends up the full has almost nothing additional. Am I wrong?
I loved the previous version of this game and when the update came along, I installed it. BIG MISTAKE. The screenshots are NOT from the current version. In the current version, the grass has become snow. The white backdrop makes the numbers impossible to read, which in turn makes any sort of strategy impossible. The game as it is now is basically unplayable. Im ditching it and going back to the free version, which I havent updated in awhile. HUGE disappointment here.
