Starcraft 2 becomes a turn-based RPG with new mod Rogue Star

The thing that stops me from being good at Starcraft 2 is I can only manage a few minutes of furious finger work.

The thing that stops me from being good at Starcraft 2 is I can only manage a few minutes of furious finger work. Luckily, there's now hope for those of us without the stamina to sustain our armies: Rogue Star, a Starcraft 2 Arcade mod that transforms the game into a turn-based RPG. Take that, pro-gamers—you could be spending whole, luxurious minutes before activating your blink attacks.

"The prologue contains 30+ abilities, 60+ items, and 10 unique enemy types," explains the mod's creator in a SC2 Arcade forum post. Elsewhere, in the mod's dedicated subreddit, he reveals that while Rogue Star is single-player only right now, co-op and PvP will be "added in a later content patch". More classes are also planned.

The best part is that, because Blizzard have made the Starcraft 2 Arcade free, you can play the game regardless of whether you own the base RTS. All you need to do is download the Arcade, and search its games list for Rogue Star.
