About the game
You can’t rise to the top without taking a few others down. If that means engaging in a workplace accidents, dodgy deals, and a shifty trick or two then so be it! You're going to need every trick in the book if you want to go from small-time slumlord to property tycoon!

The value story
54 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 81 weeks ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 35 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 66 percent. Stronghold HD (2012) ($5.99, scores 93) outscores it, and so does Two Point Campus ($29.99, scores 69). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

I really love this remaster. I played the original back in the day a lot, and this is a mostly faithful update. I love that the graphics are updated, and there are some nice quality of life improvements. Such as not having to upgrade each room one stage at a time - you can just spam the purchases button and it queues it. I do think they have removed some of the difficulties of the original though.
