StarCraft improved upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which featured two extremely comparable playable factions, by introducing asymmetry in between the units and systems accessible to its 3 races (Protoss, Terran, and Zerg). This asymmetry was much like that pioneered inside the lesser-recognized 1996 SSI release War Wind. The device styles accessible to Every single race outline its racial identity. The Protoss can field impressive and high priced warriors and equipment, although the Zerg count on sheer quantities and velocity to overwhelm their opponents.

An issue all through advancement was that at this stage in time, match studios were starting to benefit from 헬스케어 3D graphics, although Blizzard continue to hand-drew their versions.
