While StarCraft: Remastered did little more than polish up the original game (in the name of retaining multiplayer balance), Mass Recall tries to fill in the blanks inherent in porting a 1998 game to a 2010 engine. The rest are coming soon, as they're currently being updated to include every enhancement that can be borrowed from Blizzard's own StarCraft: Remastered. While previous releases of the mod included all six campaigns plus extras, the current version only contains the original three. Or at least, it will be in the next few weeks. Possibly the biggest campaign for StarCraft 2, it's a comprehensive remake of the original game, its demo (which had its own missions), the Brood War expansion and a bit more besides. Not to be too hyperbolic, but I consider Mass Recall the best way to enjoy the original StarCraft's campaigns. Impressive, considering one is a full modernised remake of the original StarCraft and its expansion. Every one of these campaigns can be played start to finish, fully intact and without a scratch on your wallet. StarCraft 2's first episode - Wings Of Liberty - has full mod support, and Blizzard made it free back in 2017.
The icing on the space-cake is that all of this is completely free. Whether you're an RTS veteran or don't know what a Zerg is, there's something for you here. While some mods and standalone missions remain popular in the StarCraft 2 Arcade, we're going to be diving deep into the biggest, best and newest single-player campaigns available. Despite Blizzard's support, an in-game mod browser, powerful editor and even a short-lived premium mod program, a lot flew under the radar.
StarCraft 2 remains an RTS esports favourite nine years from launch, but its mod scene never got the love or attention it deserved.
