A lack of advanced features (that appear as serious improvements in Age of Empires and Warcraft III) does make Warcraft II less appealing. Gameplay is straightforward and the game's graphics, while not state-of-the-art (this version was released in 1996, after all) are not so basic as to detract from the game itself. The goals are basic: build bases for your peasants, collect gold and lumber and keep the enemy at bay. Warcraft II allows you to play either as a human or an orc, and each race is given its own special set of abilities and talents. Despite all that, though, many buyers have decided to make the best of it.An older version of the real-time strategy classic, this fantasy adventure still holds interest despite out-of-date graphics and limited advanced features. This disastrous remake was full of problems and quickly became one of the lowest-rated games ever by users. After years of fan demand, Blizzard launched Warcraft 3: Reforged back in January. Both Warcraft and Warcraft 2 are excellent in their own right, but the pinnacle of the series for many players was Warcraft 3.

Much like the original Diablo, the game was largely considered to be abandoned until it was finally restored and made available on GOG just last year, along with the first Warcraft. Warcraft 2 is one of Blizzard's earliest and most-loved games, but it hasn't been directly sold or supported by the company for years.

Blizzard first released Warcraft 2 back in 1995, which became one of the most popular real-time strategy titles ever and was instrumental in introducing new players to the genre. A group of Warcraft 3: Reforged modders are using the game's assets to recreate the classic Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness.
