Stronghold Crusader 2 Gets A New Gameplay Trailer At E3 2014

June 13, 2014 by Ian Miles Cheong

Stronghold Crusader 2 isn’t one game to be left out.

Firefly Studios has just released a new trailer for Stronghold Crusader 2, its upcoming castle siege simulator. The trailer, which was released during E3 2014, spotlights the core features that set Crusader 2 apart from the original title.

The game has less than three months to go before it releases on Steam on September 2, 2014, and the small team at Firefly is said to be “thrilled” to have entered beta with plenty of time remaining for polish and balancing. 

In a new developer blog post on the company’s official website Firefly talks in detail about new features, the state of development and how self-publishing Crusader 2 has made for a better game.

“The game is essentially finished with all our core systems in place including co-op, unit abilities and dynamic events like the tornado and locust swarm. Self-publishing comes with its own set of challenges but one of the great advantages is that we can release when we are ready, when the bugs have been squashed and the game is worthy of the Crusader name. After taking the game to several public shows over the past nine months we are very happy with the game’s feel. The team has been tweaking areas of gameplay such as unit balance and castle destruction in direct response to feedback received at these shows and it has made a huge difference. Players are telling us it feels like the original Crusader in terms of moment-to-moment gameplay and just hearing that is hugely encouraging.

“The whole team feels as though we have managed to make a game that expands on the original Crusader without changing what people found so enjoyable about the original. It is mission accomplished on that front and we still have time for a lengthy beta period to polish everything off before launch. Having to be so vague about our release date, at least until recently, was frustrating but we only wanted to give a specific date once we knew the game would be finished and up to the kind of standard players expect. Soon there will be a great Stronghold game available on Steam, one we can’t wait to get into the hands of players.”

Check out the trailer below.
