StarCraft

Advantages:

Multiplayer game

Very good story campaign

Diverse maps

Faction balance, made so that each is different, but has a similar level of power

Disadvantages:

Outdated graphics

Lack of important quality of life functions

Difficult navigation through the interface

What can you get from it? What things to observe?:

As one of the legends of the genre, it is a giant that is hard to defeat. The game shows how important it is to properly prepare a good campaign in RTS games and what wonders having several maps can do.

In our game, it is worth taking a look at whether the interface is clear, because it may be the first nail in the coffin in a game genre that is quite demanding due to its mechanics, and additional problems related to an unintuitive interface will not be welcome.

What to consider?:

Archipelago variant - the map can have the same shape, but it may be worth making several variants that will only slightly differ from each other

Good playtests on different target groups - when everything is more in place, it is worth making a tutorial, but also giving the game to someone who has never played RTS games
