Let's not mince words - WarCraft III: Reign of Chaosis one the most enjoyable games ever created, regardless of genre. Chronicling the saga of a prince named Arthas, WarCraft III's campaign is a breathtaking affair of betrayal, epic com꧂bat and a world's desperate bid to fend off an unstoppable evil. It's the kind of grand storytelling that's extremely rare in gaming.

The single-player campaign is split between the game's four races - Humans, Orcs, Night Elves and the Undead - and the story is told from each side's perspective. The diversity of the missions, which range from large-scale combat to stealth affairs, keep the entire game fresh and exciting. You never know what's just around the corn𒀰er.

What really elevates WarCraft III above the usual strategy fare is the hero system. Each side has two heroes endowed with extraordinary powers, such as healing. This has been tried before in strategy games, but WarCraft III nails it, both in ease of use and how much of෴ an impact those special powers have in battle. And because your hero maintains his or her level throughout the game,💛 the powers that you choose have long-term strategic effects.
