Starcraft - Terran Campaign - Mission 2 - Backwater Station - February 2025

〰️〰️〰️ What is Starcraft? 〰️〰️〰️

Starcraft is a real time strategy game where the enemy makes their moves at the same time the player is making theirs.

Starcraft is considered one of the greatest games of all time even though it was first released in 1998.

〰️〰️〰️ What kind of game is Starcraft? 〰️〰️〰️

Starcraft is a 4X real time strategy game where one needs to construct a base, explore the surrounding area, expand their influence and exterminate the enemy. Similar games of this genre include Warcraft, Red Alert and the Command and Conquer series.

Civilization and Master of Orion are considered turn-based games of the same genre.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Starcraft “Pay to Win”? What do you get for spending real world money? 〰️〰️〰️

Since one pays for Starcraft, you get the game. That said, there are micro-transactions for the usual cosmetics stuff.

〰️〰️〰️ Is there any objectionable material in Starcraft? 〰️〰️〰️

This game is definitely not for children. There is lots of killing and dead bodies and blood are presented so we would recommend that mature teenagers and older play this game.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Starcraft fun to play? Is the game challenging? Is this game a grind? 〰️〰️〰️

Real time strategy is a genre that developers tend not to look at anymore with the advent of mobile gaming and more profitable genres out there.

Starcraft can be fun but there is such a seriousness to the game it is hard to simply enjoy the game.

Starcraft is definitely challenging.

Some of the levels can have a grind element.

〰️〰️〰️ Is Starcraft playable on a mobile device? 〰️〰️〰️

Short answer = no.

Starcraft is meant to be played on a Personal Computer.

〰️〰️〰️ What about in-game advertisements? How many are there? How intrusive are they? Do you get anything for enduring them? 〰️〰️〰️

While there is the customary in-game offers for in-game items, I have not encountered any 3rd party advertising. 😊️ This is definitely a good thing.

〰️〰️〰️ What is the story in Starcraft? 〰️〰️〰️

There is a human civil war brewing between various factions as humans are oft to do.
There are the zerg, which are an insect faction who think humans are tasty.
There are the Protoss who are mysterious and the prospect that humans have extra-sensory abilities piques their interest.

〰️〰️〰️ Is this a commitment game or a casual game? 〰️〰️〰️

Starcraft is definitely a commitment game. While the multiplayer aspect of Starcraft is what gives the game its great reviews, the campaign isn't too bad.

〰️〰️〰️ What is this video about? 〰️〰️〰️

These videos showcase the campaign listed in the title and a walk-through on how to complete the mission.

〰️〰️〰️ Anything else we should know? 〰️〰️〰️

This version is the original 1998 release. We know that the graphics are dated and there are a host of improvements which could be made. Blizzard has done all those improvements so if someone wishes those improvements, they are available.
