Featured Arcade Games

Pimp My Footman

Inspired by a Warcraft III map, Pimp My Footman has the player taking control of a handful of lowly basic infantry units. These solders can then be ‘pimped out’ and given specialized attacks as well as boosted attributes. The choices you make are reflected by your army’s appearance. Increasing your footmen’s health increases their size, increasing their armor adds shoulder plating, and increasing their damage changes the weapons they wield. With only a limited amount of minerals to start with, the challenge lies in deciding on what abilities to focus on and discovering new upgrade combinations.

Tofu Arena Hero vs. Hero

Don’t let its benign name fool you; this is a fast-paced instant action hero arena of death. Unlike other games of this type, there are no towers or creatures to kill. The game is pure hero-versus-hero combat. You choose your hero and starting items and get right into the fight.

StarCraft Universe RPG

The SCU team has put an amazing amount of effort into their game, including voice-acted quest dialogue, eight character classes, and a robust inventory and crafting system. All of this is layered on top of an engrossing single-player campaign that is slated to become a full-fledged multiplayer experience.

BarCraft Card Game

Game designer "Crusade of Blader" and his team have done an amazing job in creating a turn-based card game set in the Blizzard universes. Not limited to StarCraft lore, players can choose heroes from Diablo and World of Warcraft to duke it out against seven other players in this highly strategic and psychological game.

Night of the Dead Survival

Unlike some games we've featured in our weekly spotlights, Night of the Dead has a long history in the StarCraft II Arcade as well as a strong following. It's a team-based survival game where up to eight players unravel the story behind the Apollo mining colony base and the horrific events that caused it to turn into a zombie-infested nightmare.
