Warcraft 2

Le jeu

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, released in 1995 for DOS, took everything the original started and expanded it into one of the defining RTS games of the 1990s. Set in the fantasy world of Azeroth, it continued the epic war between the Human Alliance and the Orcish Horde, this time bringing in naval battles, flying units, and more diverse factions to the conflict. Players gathered resources, built sprawling bases, and commanded armies of foot soldiers, knights, trolls, ogres, and gryphon riders across both land and sea. The game featured two full campaigns—one for each side—along with cinematic cutscenes that deepened the lore of the Warcraft universe. Its balanced gameplay, crisp 2D graphics, and memorable soundtrack made it a huge hit with both casual and competitive players. Warcraft II also shined in multiplayer, supporting LAN and online battles that fueled its popularity. Often hailed as one of the greatest RTS games of its era, it cemented Blizzard’s reputation and paved the way for Warcraft III and the eventual World of Warcraft. DOS
