And these do dramatically affects what strategies you'll use on the field. You can also level up Kerrigan after you earn enough experience and pick out special powers and abilities.Īnd you can pick special mutations for each of your units leading to an impressive amount of customisation options for your swarm. It's where you can evolve your swarm through evolution missions which let you test out two possible evolutions for a unit before forcing you to choose one.

It's not quite as enjoyable as the Hyperion though which felt like a warm welcoming home with its bar, complete with arcade game and TV. And much like Wings of Liberty's Hyperion, here you have the 'Leviathan' to act as a home base between missions where you can chat to a motley crew of Zerg for extra tidbits of story. It's pretty much the most ridiculous love story you could ever imagine.īut it's told well through Blizzards trademark beautiful cinematics. Kerrigan gets rather dramatically split up from Raynor, launching her on a crusade to reclaim her crown as the Queen of Blades, reunite the Zerg swarm and enact vengeance on those that would keep them apart. Although, clearly Zerg DNA is tricky to get out of your hair. And after locking her away in a research lab they've managed to mostly transform her back into a human. Old Jim Raynor has rescued his forbidden love Sarah Kerrigan, aka the Queen of Blades, leader of the Zerg. The campaign picks up from the end of Wings of Liberty.
