Only one race can win the war between Terrans, Zergs and Protoss.
Even though this
real-time strategy game (
RTS) was launched in 1998, it is still one of the most played via Internet. Something that says a lot about its quality and story depth.
StarCraft meant for
science fiction the same that Warcraft meant for epic fantasy in what regards to RTS games. This is mainly due to the fact that
Blizzard is the company behind both titles. This game is still
one of the most important of its genre despite the fact that it uses a technology that is rather outdated.
In
StarCraft you can take the role of the leader of one of three races:
Terran (
Humans),
Zerg (
Aliens) and
Protoss (
Robots). Each one of these races is totally different and has a set of characteristics that vary enough to make it necessary to use a different playing style with each of the races. Each one of the factions has
special units with features and need that are totally different, even though all of them depend upon the same resources:
the Kristalis mineral and the Vespene gas. Each one of these has its own use depending on the race, so that depending on who we control we will need more of one or the other.
In this
demo you will be able to enjoy the
tutorial and some campaign missions that will show you part of the story that develops behind the scenes of
StarCraft, so if you want to start
annihilating Zergs, destroying Protoss or massacring Terrans you can
download this
demo before moving on to the full game.
Note: The
demo includes a video and only allows to play some of the campaigns and one mission.
