Platform and playing notes

StarCraft: Retribution was targeted at Mac users and released as an enhancement to the Brood War client; check compatibility with your system and any required patches before installing.

If you want something different

If you prefer a lighter, more casual tower-defense experience, consider trying the trial of Plants vs. Zombies as an alternative — it offers bite-sized missions and a very different pace compared with the tactical depth of StarCraft.
