On Tuesday, Blizzard flipped the switch, making the seminal real-time strategy game a free download for Windows PC and macOS.

To play, you will need a account.With Starcraft Remastered announced earlier this month for a summer release, developer Blizzard also stated that the original Starcraft, and its expansion - Brood War, would be available for free soon. At the same time, they released the original StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War for free. In 2017, Blizzard released Starcraft Remastered, with improved graphics, music, and support for all screen resolutions. There is not much more to say, mainly because it's very probable that you have already played this legendary title. A fantastic sci-fi graphics, brilliant music, hi-quality dialogs, and a storyline that was continued in books and novels, complete the game. This one of the reasons why Starcraft is so great. But despite the differences in terms of tactics and strategies required by each faction, the game is perfectly balanced. Starcraft was the first RTS to use totally different factions.

You will have to learn and master their strengths and weaknesses if you want to win. If you follow the single-player campaign, the storyline will allow the player to control all of them. The game features three distinct races, Protoss, Zerg, and Terrans, utterly different in terms of visuals, weapons, and buildings.

The game design was curated by Chris Metzen and James Phinney. Later it was also ported to Mac OS and Nintendo 64. It was developed by Blizzard Entertainment, and it was initially released in 1998 for Windows. StarCraft is one of the most influential real-time-strategy games ever created and one of the most important video games of all time.
