Toon Zerg are still horrifying
StarCraft II‘s third and final expansion, the Protoss-themedLegacy of the Void, came out a little less than a year ago. Since then, players looking to freshen up their game could play aNova-centric side story, but that’s about it.
SinceLegacycame out, Carbot Animations has been hard at work on a total conversion that cartoonifies allStarCraft IIunits and buildings, making them look like something you might see in a Behemoth game. It doesn’t change the gameplay at all, just the visuals and audio. Called the Star Crafts Mod, it’s harder to describe than you’d think, so have a look at the video.
The Star Crafts Mod is intended to inject a little humor intoStarCraft II, including a dedicated button you can use to literally throw hunks of cheese at your opponent. The team got their start making animated videos set in theStarCraftuniverse. The videos’ popularity led them to begin experimenting with converting the game’s appearance, and theyset up an Indiegogopage to fund work on the mod over a year ago.
This mod won’t work in Ladder games, but you may play it by yourself or against friends. If you’d like to try it out before it officially releases,you can do so here. The mod will be freely available to allStarCraft IIplayers starting tomorrow, and does not require the base game to play. If you’d prefer to wait, you’ll be able to find it inStarCraft II‘s Arcade mode by typing “Star Crafts Mod” into the search browser.
