StarCraft 2
Games Like Age of Empires If You’re Looking For Something Similar
Developed by the minds behind Overwatch and World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2 is the second game in the space-focused RTS series. Set in a 26th-century science fiction universe, the game revolves around three species: the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss, all of which are very different. The game is also split into three parts to tell the story of each of the species; Wings of Liberty is the story of the Terrans and the two expansions cover the others.
The storytelling saw a huge improvement over the first game, complimenting the already engaging gameplay. The new in-mission features, such as lava that floods the battlefield every five minutes, also keeps the game fresh. At the time of release, StarCraft 2 was the fastest-selling RTS game ever and, in 2017, Blizzard transitioned the content to a free-to-play model.
