Before Darkness Falls is an incredibly polished and unique total conversion mod created on StarCraft 2 engine


In the aftermath of the chaos resulting from the invasion of the feral Zerg, the defensive army of the mining colony has been almost entirely massacred.
The evacuation of people and resources is still ongoing.
The remnants of the Terran forces are fiercely defending the capital city, desperately waiting for support.
A huge Zerg horde is heading towards the capital and will reach the city at the latest within eight days.
The whole colony is rapidly consumed by the terrifying, hungry and ruthless darkness.
Those who managed to escape from fallen settlements, but their way to the capial was cut off by the Zerg, created small camps high in the mountains.



United by hope they are waiting to be saved, before the darkness falls...

Found this gem this week, it's incredible. Lots of work put on it and the level of innovation and care for the details is astonishing.
This is how map developers should aim for in my opinion as a player.
