Modder turns StarCraft II into a turn-based tactical RPG

Guilty admission: I haven’t played StarCraft II yet. I know, I know – it’s been on my “I really need to get around to that” list since 2010, and I just… haven’t. But if the cool things being done in the Galaxy Editor are any indication, I should really try to rectify that soon.

For example. Modder ‘Greythepirate’ has created Rogue Star, a turn-based RPG inside of StarCraft II.

I can’t even imagine the amount of work that must have gone into this, but knowing that it exists – and that other people must be making some equally cool projects in the StarCraft II community – is reason enough to finally give this one a download.

Starcraft II owners can download this one directly from the Battle.net Arcade. Want to try it for free? StarCraft II Starter Edition is a thing, and you can access the Arcade from that.
