About game
"Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness" is a classic real-time strategy game where the player controls one of two factions: the Alliance (humans) or the Horde (orcs). Each side is distinguished by unique units, buildings, and tactics.
The game includes two story campaigns: "Tides of Darkness" and "Beyond the Dark Portal." In each campaign, you can play as either humans or orcs — for a total of four campaigns. The plot revolves around the war for control over the world of Azeroth and the subsequent events at the Dark Portal.
Key features of the game:
- Deep strategy: resource management, base development, and army building.
- Unique factions: humans and orcs with different tactical capabilities.
- Magic and heroes: spells and powerful characters influence battles.
- Captivating story: the narrative unfolds through text introductions and dialogues, immersing players in the game’s universe.
