starcraft

StarCraft is Blizzard's science-fiction real-time strategy landmark, built around three wildly different factions: the adaptable human Terrans, the swarming Zerg, and the technologically advanced Protoss. The original (1998) and its Brood War expansion became famous for how finely balanced those three sides were, turning the game into a competitive staple, especially in South Korea where it helped define professional esports.

StarCraft II carried the design forward into a new generation while keeping the same careful three-way balance. This is a games-only series, but its influence runs deep through strategy gaming and competitive play.

The starcraft franchise spans 10 books, 2 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
