After WarCraft 3 ~~Reforged~~ Refunded ruined the game for everyone, it's hard to want to try any others. Have you tried these remasters? I'm not planning on giving them money, but I am curious.

I have. The upgraded sprites look like mobile game rejects. You have to always online too. Time to stop giving this shit company my money :(

That's disappointing, but not unexpected. Thanks for reporting back.

Succinctly put. I feel like the original vision did not intend for them to look so cartoonish.

Starcraft 1 remaster looked so much better, too. Was that done by the same team?

god could they just do one thing right with this franchise? Thanks for falling on the sword for us, guess I'll have to hold onto my pirated copy of OG Warcraft 3, since I can't download the one I legally own.
