Star Battle is a custom StarCraft II map in the style of Aeon of Strife. It is regarded as one of the best custom maps by PC Gamer and usually ranks among the most popular custom maps on Battle.net.
Overview
In Star Battle, players choose from a variety of ships for their hero unit. The objective is to support NPC ships to destroy the opposing team's space station. Ship upgrades may be bought at the friendly space station. Ships may also carry a number of fighters for support; these may be replaced quickly when lost.
The space background is randomly chosen from built-in options for each game.
Compared to Warcraft III's Defense of the Ancients AoS, Star Battle is faster, has no respawns, and is less complicated.
