is one of those absolutely wild mods: a full remake of StarCraft 1 and Brood War in StarCraft 2, complete with new models and cutscenes. Since StarCraft 2 is now free-to-play, that means this long-running project is as well.
We first reported on Mass Recall all the way , when the mod was just one year old. At that time, you could already play the entire SC1 and Brood War campaigns, as well as three "hidden" maps, but the project has grown and developed in substantial ways in the past nine years.
Back in 2019, Mass Recall , including in-game cutscenes, maybe one of the mod's most impressive features. Mass Recall also tastefully combines the high-res mission briefing screens from the official StarCraft 1 Remaster with StarCraft 2's full 3D character models. These days, Mass Recall
also includes Enslavers Redux, a StarCraft 2 conversion of a highly-regarded StarCraft 1 fan campaign.
I really appreciate the effort [[link]] that's gone into the units as well: it looks like every unit in the game has gotten a "Retro" remodel and throwback portrait, while most also have an option for unique models and portraits that correspond [[link]] to the different factions [[link]] of StarCraft's races as well.
One thing that boggles my mind is that, when Mass Recall started, it was a remake of a classic game in its cutting edge sequel's engine. Now, 10 years later, both are just different flavors of retro. That's not such a bad thing, though, and really just speaks to the dedication of the Mass Recall team.
Mass Recall's last major update seems to have rolled out last January, and you can check out the mod for yourself over on .
