Granted, I thought HotS and LotV were a bit too slow to start as well, but not as bad as WoL. There were definitely some misses, mostly in the later levels, and the first 5 or so levels started out a little too slow on the options. On the flip side, the level design was quite varied. You either got really sick of bio/tank, really sick of Goliath/tank, or really sick of hellion/tank/Viking, take your pick. WoL was really good, but suffered from permanent choices pigeonholing you into repeatedly massing the most versatile units. There also was the problem of too much choice when it game to unit options on a mission, and as a result a small few unit compositions became dominant to the point of rendering all other units irrelevant. However, the missions themselves were ultimately too similar, by which I mean they all boiled down to “kill every last one of them!” In a blunt brute strength charge. LotV made you chose unit A or B (or C), which meant there were interesting ways in which your army compostions and options could change dynamically, and be shaped for the mission. However, it again went a little overboard on the power of hero units.
I also felt that a bonus objective system that opened up new options without a clear cut power increase in most cases (obviously balance can’t be flawless) was far better than one where getting the bonus just gave you a clean cut buff for the rest of the campaign. I just wish that they would take the next step and have units that are unlocked for some missions but vanish from the roster in later missions, allowing for all manner of interesting permutations of options. Despite some obvious abuses, the levels are generally much more unique and dynamic, and in all honesty I think shrinking the unit roster rather than growing it was a lot better for creating interesting missions. The only difference between Kerrigan in HotS and WoL is that she isn’t being “influenced” by Amon.
It’s basically just Kerrigan gaining powers and getting revenge. The gameplay is the easiest of all the campaigns and the story is just, bad. (I don’t place it that high since it’s only 9 missions)Įven though I main zerg, HotS is absolutely terrible imo.
The gameplay in Nova Covert Ops is great with a story that explains what happened after the epilogue and wrapped up the story of Starcraft 2. Music is decent and the writing is different since you can choose the missions you want to play instead of going through a more linear story like HotS and LotV. It gives a lot of customization for the campaign which is very nice. I love the feeling in WoL when you earn credits and upgrade the units of your choice, alongside with research. I love the music but the gameplay is a decent (probably because I don’t like protoss). I think LotV’s story and writing is fantastic with amazing character development. Which campaign is your favourite and why?
