Starcraft II

Starcraft II is another very successful game that made by Blizzard entertainment which is about the conflict between human race Terran, high technology alien Protoss and mystery alien creature zerg. Each race are given specific units and skills, also they have different game style and tactics. Even they have 3 different races that are so different, unlike to other RTS game, Starcraft II are well balanced and by constant update and patch, Blizzard success to hold their past users and attract new users.

 Unlikely to Overwatch, the genre of this game is based on RTS (Real Time Strategy), that you command and control various character at once to win the game. RTS was past game trend early 21th century, however in this day, people start to find easy games genre like FPS, AOS or TPS and game companies follow this game trend. This happens because main online RTS games like Warcraft III and Starcraft II keeps make the game harder and harder to original users to improve their control skills and tactics, however this makes new gamers hard to join them.


Starcraft II contains campaign mode in the game. Each expansion contain the story of three different races, Terran, Zerg and Protoss. Each campaign connects to another campaign directly, so I recommend you to play in order to understand the story much clearly. The order is same as its release date. (Wings of Liberty->Heart of Swarm -> Legacy of void)

Starcraft II is also famous at Pro gaming, because Starcraft I is one of first online game that create the job called pro gamer. Before Starcraft released, game is just kids toy which play only for fun and very easy to play. However, Starcraft which has many variations of builds choice, races and controls makes each game set unique and different, people starts to get interest to watch how Starcraft masters playing the game and it leads to create competitions.

In Starcraft II, with powerful map creater that given to everyone who purchased Starcraft II, you can play Starcraft as other genre. For example, FPS, TPS,MMORPG. Also AOS which is most famous genre in this day game trend, is referred by fan-made game called Aeon Of Strife (AOS) in previous Starcraft I that released in 31th March 1998. Also you can play other Blizzard game for free with this wonderful map creater, such as previous Starcraft I campaign, Diablo, Warcraft series and even Heart Stone.

In my opinion, Starcraft II has much bigger possibilities in future, because the pro gaming league still going on successfully, still has many online users and there are many creative arcade modes that creates by users and Blizzard itself. However what Blizzard needs to fix is the huge wall between old users and new users. So i want to rate this game, 9/10.
