Rogue Star

Take yo ur time in StarCraft II

If you’re not adept at the sometimes frantic micromanagement of a StarCraft II battlefield, maybe Rogue Star will prove more manageable. It turns Blizzard’s RTS into a turn-based strategy, in which your Protoss protagonist has the time to think.

It’s a refreshing change of pace for the slow of finger. StarCraft II is an incredibly tactical game already, but that can be hard to appreciate when it’s played in real-time. Here, you get a chance to contemplate the Protoss ability set, and plan how to deploy it against your escalating enemies.

SCII’s mod library is free, so you can play this first chapter whether or not you own the main game. Just download the Blizzard Arcade, and, in-game, search its database for ‘Rogue Star’. PS
