Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness - The Rise of the Horde and Alliance

What makes Warcraft II Tides of Darkness one of the most important games in the Warcraft universe? Today, we'll find out. I played a handful of computer games before Warcraft II when it originally released, and all of them were great. But it wasn't until Tides of Darkness that I truly felt immersed in a universe crafted within a video game - at least not to this extent. As usual, we'll be diving into many different aspects of the game. This will take us on a journey that includes hearing from one of the developers describe their philosophy behind its design, reading through the manual, exploring a 90s computer gaming magazine, and of course, experiencing the entire story that shows how the Horde and Alliance were formed. Going through Warcraft II after all these years has been an amazing experience - it started with the strategy guide video and continues with this review. While I loved the game back then, I now truly appreciate many more aspects of it than I ever did before. It's great to have the opportunity to share this with others. Whether you played the game years ago, you actively play it today, or are discovering it for the first time, I hope you enjoy the journey of going through it and thank you for being here. 00:00 - Lead-Up to Tides of Darkness 04:04 - Manual & Intro Cinematic 11:59 - Original vs. Remaster 15:12 - Horde Campaign - Pillage & Conquer 29:56 - Alliance Campaign - Fight for Survival 49:02 - Final Thoughts #Warcraft #Warcraft2 #RetroGaming #RTS #BlizzardEntertainment #GamingReview #ClassicGames
