PC Gamer Review: "Epic" only begins to describe Flame Knives, a huge campaign by Metathrom that encompasses 14 sprawling maps (a "Special Edition" of this mod released in 2004 adds spoken dialouge for most characters, new sound effects, new unit graphics, and more glam cut scenes). The storyline deals with the ancient history of the Protoss, so most of the maps see you playing these mysterious aliens or the Zerg. Settings range from tight canyons of icy planets to deep space, and new tilesets give all these locales a fresh feel. As with Metathrom's other big StarCraft campaign, Aeon of the Hawk, the difficulty is over the top.
