The idea for Nexus wars is simple, like any other tug of war game. A good important tip to follow, never look behind you when you know you’re being followed. It’s best to play the game in the dark with headphones, just to build the correct atmosphere. This game is best played with friends, since communication is very important and also it’s always funny to hear your friends scream, when they are taken by their pursuer. Instead of an overhead view, the player is placed into a first person view. Inspired by the game of Slender, players must work together to gather all the crates and avoid eye contact with their pursuer. It’s best to mix-up your army composition and save your specials for the right moments. Building the right units to counter the enemy is the key to victory, because using a single type of unit isn’t really effective once the enemy starts to counter your army. In order to destroy the enemy base, players have to overcome the opponent’s army that stands before them. The more structure and higher tech structure a player has, the bigger their army will appear in the battle arena. In Desert Strike, players will have to build structure that helps produce units at a given time period. Do you think you can survive when enemy is sending swarms of difficult math problems at you? 5 – Desert Strike In the swarm of letters, there are also difficult math problems that you need to solve. If you are able to type really fast, this wouldn’t be much of a challenge for you. Since the only way to stop the enemy advance toward your Nexus, is by typing the characters that appear above their heads. In Nexus Word Wars, your biggest weapon is your keyboard and mind. But it’s not always that simple, when it comes to custom games. Also, having many different types of builders and towers to explore,helps make Squadron Tower Defense easily a addicting game to play. So building the right towers and tower placement is important. Each round, the player’s towers become a unit that moves and attacks the enemy. Instead of building towers that stand still that doesn’t really move. 3 – Squadron Tower DefenseĬurrently the top played custom game in Starcraft 2 arcade in NA, but for good reason of course, since Squadron Tower Defense is a new interesting way of playing tower defense. This is fun and also good practice for regular Starcraft 2 games, as it allows players to work on improving their macro and micro skills. In order to win, both players need to work together. 2 – Micro MacroĬan you trust someone else to micro or macro for you? In Micro Macro, four players are pitted against each other in a normal game of Starcraft, but with a twist! One person takes on the role of micro, while the other player takes on the role of Macro. This leads to chaotic and interesting matches, where conventional builds will no longer work, when your task is to build a single unit throughout the whole game.
Then battle it out with the enemy, who also only select their own single unit. 1 – MonobattlesĮnjoy playing Starcraft with different unit types? Then how about playing a game of Starcraft with only one unit type? In Monobattles, players start off by selecting one unit that they will build throughout the whole game. After digging around and trying out many different custom maps, I found 10 custom maps that I enjoy playing which I believe you should try at least once. Never hurts to give new custom maps a chance. Many of these maps that people made might not have been played, since everyone are always playing the same custom game maps. There are about hundred of custom maps in the Starcraft 2 Arcade Mode.
