In order to claim your free Fenix co-op commander, just click the gift button in the top-right corner of the launcher UI and Bob's your quadrupedal alien robo-ghost uncle.įenix will be available free until April 3rd before going back to his normal £4/$5 price. The original Starcraft II campaign, Wings of Liberty is now free to play, along with partial access to online and co-op modes. Did I mention that I'm utterly rubbish at Starcraft? Personally, it's all just a bit too fiddly for me and I'd much rather just order a huge blob of Terran infantry to pop stims and charge. He can also recruit a group of up to six named hero units that'll automatically possess nearby empty bodies of the same kind if killed, making him and his squad a micro-managers dream. He's got three different forms - a centaur-like semi-humanoid melee warrior form, a spider-tankish artillery body, and for finer battlefield control he can turn into a squad-supporting spacecraft.Įach of Fenix's three forms has their own separate shield and health bars, so careful timing on your switches will let him stay active in the field a lot longer than you'd expect. While his recent Heroes of The Storm debut has put him in his less impressive-looking Dragoon body, Fenix's co-op iteration is more along the lines of an Autobot. Now it’s your turn to take command and lead vast armies of terran, protoss and zerg to victory amongst the stars. Over the years, few games in the genre have come close to challenging Blizzard's crown (although I gather Age of Empires 2 HD is a major and still-growing success), and the game still draws major crowds, both in casual play and to its high-profile tournament events. With millions of players already in the fight, StarCraft II has made gaming history. Twenty years, eh? It goes to show that Starcraft's blend of twitchy strategy and overblown melodrama is a potent and enduring combination. Now you can get him in his final, transforming future-bot form, free via. You remember Fenix, right? Protoss hero, seemed friendly if a little death-prone.

Today, they're finally giving away something of real value for Starcraft II players: One of their premium-priced playable characters for the RTS giant's still-growing cooperative mode.
