Why you might like it

  • A genuinely thriving MMORTS from the makers of the Stronghold RTS series, billed as 'the world's first Castle MMO' and still played by roughly 100,000 monthly active users more than 15 years after launch.
  • Combines real village and castle building with large-scale faction warfare, sieges and political alliances across a persistent medieval world.
  • Developer Firefly Studios remains actively engaged with the broader franchise, continuing regular support for Kingdoms alongside new titles like the upcoming Stronghold 4.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Recent Steam reviews have trended more mixed (around 50-56% positive) compared to the game's earlier heyday, so temper expectations about current polish versus its reputation at launch.
  • As a long-session strategy MMO built around slow city growth and sieges, it rewards patience over fast-paced action.
