I did find some of the missions at the start of the campaign a bit samey - you build a base, you build some guys, you go crush your opponent with overwhelming force, but the second half of the campaign gets a lot more interesting with a much better array of mission types. So, if you find yourself stuck on a mission, there is a lot of fun in experimenting with the different units and abilities at your disposal until you finally unlock the correct combination the mission is calling for. Similarly, each new level of the campaign unlocks new units from your war council. The Spear of Adun's abilities feel great to use and really incentivized me to play through the bonus objectives so I could unlock more ways of spectacular ways of killing space monsters. It allows you to call down reinforcements, give your units temporary combat buffs, or just pulverise an enemy base. Instead the main mechanic this time around is the Spear of Adun, an arkship, constantly hovering above the battlefield with an array of powerful abilities at your disposal. While commanding Artanis' groundforces through missions, you meet and occasionally get to control powerful heroes, who're often old favourites from previous games - but unlike the last expansion, hero units now take a back seat. The galaxy has come under existential threat from Amon, the fallen one and your job is to gather the few uncorrupted forces scattered throughout space to take on and defeat Amon's legion. For the bulk of the main campaign, you play as Artanis, the leader of the Protoss. Although this campaign transcends the classic war against the Zerg as an ancient galactic evil is awoken, and the stakes are risen higher than ever before.
The single player campaign wraps up the story of Terran rebel turned commander Jim Raynor, and Kerrigan - the Queen of Blades. Over the past 17 years, a lot has changed around the edges of the game, but the fundamental RTS mechanics that define the series remain in place. Starcraft! Starcraft! Starcraft! Starcraft! Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void is the latest edition to the popular space opera franchise which started way, way back in 1998.
And Bajo, I think he's a little bit excited. Yes, our very own host of Good Game: Well Played - Hingers.
But we do happen to have a StarCraft expert in house, so it would be crazy of us not to ask him to review it.
Thanks Goose! The third and final chapter of the StarCraft II trilogy is upon us, and Hex, we're both fans of the series and partial to a bit of RTS.
