Warcraft 3: Reforged

Warcraft 3: Reforged is a reimagining of the classic real-time strategy game that spawned a huge franchise with a deep backstory. The publication completely replaces the graphics with modern ones. The models of heroes and units have become larger, and the voice acting has been re-recorded in places, although the lines are recognizable. Lighting and weather effects have also been redesigned. Models, environments and effects have been redesigned, and scenes between missions have been re-shot. The campaigns remain the same, including the expansion with the Lich King, so the familiar plot is recognizable from the first minutes. Campaigns are available both individually and as part of a general list. Between missions there are re-shot scenes where new details are noticeable. The multiplayer part retained the basic rules, and balance changes concerned individual units. The editor is supported even after release, which is important for the mapmaking community. The settings allow you to choose the old look if you don’t like the new one. Some players prefer the old style and remain with it. Returning to familiar missions became an occasion to discuss what had changed over the years, and disputes about stylistics did not subside. Feedback from players was mixed, with the graphical style and technical aspects causing controversy. Updates gradually corrected the problems. The editor supports legacy maps, which is important for the community. Major fan projects live a separate life. For those who want to experience familiar campaigns in a new way, this release is suitable. Patches corrected technical problems and corrected small things. Discussions surrounding the game were loud, but attention to it remained.
