Enterprising map makers have been able to work wonders with the powerful tools provided by the editor, making everything from a version of Tetris to an actual first-person shooter.
And if you like what you see, Upheaval Games has an Indiegogo campaign to help with continued support of the game (since they cannot legally sell the game itself).The StarCraft II beta has been going on for a while now, and though it has given players the chance to try out the game's fast-paced RTS action, the beta has also provided an opportunity to play around with the new content editor. All you need to do is search the Arcade for “SC Universe” and you’ll be able to find it. If you don’t own StarCraft 2 but want to try this, you’re in luck! Since this is a mod, it can be played as part of the StarCraft 2 Starter Edition, which is free to download. According to the game’s creator, it combines “the third person action RPG elements of World of WarCraft, the combat mechanics of Diablo, and the starship mechanics of FTL with the StarCraft setting.” It’s hard to really give a sense for just how impressive what Upheaval Games has accomplished is without watching the trailers, but the second I watched them, I knew I’d be giving this game a go.įor those curious, the open beta for the game includes three prologue missions to help acquaint players with the game’s systems, as well as a limited version of the full game, which is slated for release one month from now. The game itself is completely voice acted and features a unique musical score.
The game, which has Blizzard’s blessing, has been in production for over five years and recently released the cinematic trailer alongside a gameplay trailer to celebrate the release of its open beta.Īnd trust me when I say, it looks like something Blizzard could have produced. For those unfamiliar, StarCraft Universe is intended as a StarCraft MMO and was originally titled “World of StarCraft” before legalities would lead to a name change. It’s rare that you watch a fan-made production and confuse it for the real deal, but that’s exactly what happened when I watched the cinematic trailer for StarCraft Universe, the mod for StarCraft 2 that’s less a mod and more an entire game within a game.
