Literally just the same game as Stronghold HD but with ai upscaled graphics. Workshop and 2 (halves) of new campaigns is nice. £12.99 + DLC is a bit much for a 20+ year old game. Worth a buy if you never played Stronghold. Don't bother if you've played unless its a big discount.

Old but gold, very good classic RTS. Getting back after 25 years, priceless. A pure example how the old games aren't outdated yet.
