Warcraft III: Reforged – A Remake with Glitches

David Fischer

Blizzard's attempt to revive a classic falls short due to numerous technical issues and lack of promised features, leaving dedicated fans disappointed.

Warcraft III: Reforged is a real-time strategy game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. The game serves as a remastered version of the classic Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion The Frozen Throne.

In Warcraft III: Reforged, players can choose to play as one of four races: Humans, Orcs, Night Elves, and Undead. Each race has their own unique units, heroes, and buildings, offering a variety of playstyles to suit different preferences.

The game features a campaign mode with over 60 missions, telling the story of the world of Azeroth and the struggle for power between the races. In addition, players can also engage in online multiplayer battles with up to 12 players at once.

Warcraft III: Reforged boasts updated graphics, animations, models, and sound effects, providing a modernised look to the classic game. However, the game still maintains its original gameplay mechanics and strategy elements that have made it a beloved game for over two decades.

  • Single-Player Campaign: Play through over 60 missions across multiple storylines and battles in Azeroth.
  • Online Multiplayer: Engage in battles with up to 12 players online and compete for dominance over the realm of Azeroth.
  • Updated Graphics and Sound: Experience modernised visuals and sound effects while still retaining classic gameplay mechanics.
  • Four Playable Races: Choose between Humans, Orcs, Night Elves or Undead, each with their unique units, heroes, and buildings.

Warcraft III: Reforged offers both new and returning players the chance to experience the epic tale of Azeroth in a modernised, visually stunning way without sacrificing the addictive gameplay that made the series a classic.
