The story is lovably dopey space fantasy, and as a long-time Protoss player I enjoyed delving deeper into the lore and interpersonal relationships of my preferred playable faction. Along the way, you'll get closure for characters like rebel Terran cowboy Jim Raynor and his tragic love interest Sarah Kerrigan, aka the fearsome Zerg Queen of Blades (voiced by Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer). You control a small force of free Protoss as they deal with surprising thorny Protoss politics and put together a coalition strong enough to save the universe from annihilation. ![]() The ancient eldritch evil hinted all the way back in the original StarCraft: Brood War expansion has finally emerged and shackled the proud race to his twisted psychic will. Legacy of the Void wraps up the entire StarCraft narrative through the eyes of the Protoss, the majestic aliens somewhere between space Egyptians and religious Predators. Like in the second episode, there aren't quite as many missions here than in the first third of StarCraft II, but this expansion also doesn't cost as much as that initial $60 release. While the campaign only focuses on the Protoss race, it still takes several sittings to finish, depending on the strength of your strategies or fondness for cheat codes. I'll talk about multiplayer in a later section, since that might as well be its own game, but seeing all three races in the single-player menu made me feel as though I was playing a complete StarCraft game for the first time since the original.Įven on its own, Legacy of the Void is a complete product. That said, if you do own the other two episodes, the launcher compiles them into a single interface so you to easily hop among missions for the humanoid Terrans, insectoid/reptilian Zerg, and regal alien Protoss. Unlike the previous StarCraft II expansion, Legacy of the Void doesn't require you to buy any previous versions of the game to play this package. Good Luck, Have Fun In a nutshell, StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void is a sci-fi real-time strategy game in which you build structures and gather resources to build an army and defeat your opponent through cunning tactics and sheer firepower. It's a towering achievement and an Editors' Choice. Where does that future leave a storied institution like StarCraft II?Īfter playing hours and hours of Legacy of the Void, the third and final StarCraft II expansion, I'm pleased to say that this $39.99 PC game is both a fantastic conclusion to Blizzard's five-year saga and a great entry point into one of the most complex, but satisfying, strategy games ever. MOBA games like Dota 2 and League of Legend have sucked all of the oxygen, and money, from the traditional RTS genre while fully legitimatizing the idea of eSports. But the market has changed between the 2010 launch of Wings of Liberty (the opening chapter of the StarCraft II trilogy) and now. When the sequel was announced a decade later, countless fans became filled with anticipation for a follow-up to a perfect game and full-on sport in some parts of the world. In 1998, the original StarCraft struck the real-time strategy gaming landscape like an asteroid, and its impact changed the genre forever. ![]()
