There is a brand new unofficial Android port of the classic RTS game Starcraft and Brood War expansion called StarDroid out now by ToadWarrior. This is a big deal because it allows players to experience the full package of the original 1998 game on their modern mobile device without needing a PC. This means all original story campaigns, briefings, cutscenes and more are available on your phone or tablet.
ToadWarrior releases unofficial Android port of classic RTS with local multiplayer support
This application is meant to run on 64 bit Android devices running at least Android 8 or above. ToadWarrior made sure the port would work with many different controls such as touch, gamepads, mice and keyboard. So if you're a casual touch player or just a standard RTS player you can easily manage your army.
StarDroid offers local multiplayer play over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct. You don't need to buy the game twice since the app makes you provide your original game files. The devs say custom maps may still have glitches so be prepared for custom content to be potentially broken.
This new unofficial port is great for those into retro games and want to be able to play Starcraft on the go. This announces that all the original content of the 1998 game including brood war expansion is now available on compatible Android devices. Make sure to check to see if your device meets the 64 bit, Android 8 minimum specs before downloading.

Finally, Brood War on my phone. Local multiplayer over Bluetooth is the only way to play.
Hope the touch controls don’t crash the kernel on older 64-bit devices.
do custom maps actually work or just break everything
ToadWarrior admitted glitches. Stick to official campaigns.
