You can create a strain of ultralisks that are resurrected almost immediately at the exact spot where they died. Possibly the most overpowered example is the ultralisk, which is already the most formidable Zerg ground unit. In HOTS, you get to develop new strains of various Zerg units, but special evolution missions let you test both possible strains before you make your decision. In WOL, you often had to choose between two upgrades, but you never had the opportunity to test them in advance. The other major change from WOL relates to research. The ability to switch Kerrigan's abilities and unit mutations between levels allows you to build an army that caters to your play style. For instance, you can fine-tune the acidic suicide bomber banelings to dish out more damage, increase the radius of their explosions, or make their explosions heal friendly units. Most Zerg units also gain three unique mutations that you can switch out between levels.

However, there is one passive power that resurrects all dead Zerglings for free at your main hive at the rate of 10 or so every 30 seconds. Generally, these are useful enough that all are tempting. You can switch out abilities between levels, and they range from special abilities that make Kerrigan more powerful (like shooting chain lightning with every attack or damaging multiple enemies) to powers that improve the swarm as a whole (like spawning two drones for the price of one). Kerrigan gains levels by accomplishing mission objectives, making her hero unit even more powerful, and unlocking a tier of three abilities every 10 levels. One major difference between HOTS and WOL is the new campaign's focus on Kerrigan. All this diversity keeps the campaign feeling constantly fresh.

Other highlights include commanding Jim Raynor's battlecruiser, The Hyperion, during a space battle having Kerrigan face off against a series of rivals in boss battles reminiscent of Diablo or World of WarCraft and triumphing over a battle arena-style mission where AI-controlled infested Terrans act as cannon fodder while Kerrigan marches on a Dominion base. Elsewhere, you alternate between controlling Kerrigan's forces and commanding primal Zerg who must destroy the generators that power a psi destroyer device that makes Kerrigan's units explode. After consuming its doomed host, the creature must slink around the ship, hiding from enemy units and collecting biomass until it evolves into a broodmother capable of spawning various Zerg creatures and destroying the vessel's engines and escape pods.ДЄnother great level involves spreading creep (the living purple goo that oozes from Zerg structures) to wake up dormant scourge nests that can shoot down otherwise invincible Dominion ships.

One has you infiltrating a Protoss ship with a parasitic larva. Though they may not be as memorable as some of Wings of Liberty's finest missions (like the train robbery mission or the final stand of the Protoss), that doesn't change the fact that they are wonderful in their own right. Heart of the Swarm's single-player campaign serves as a great point of entry, boasting 20 missions with diverse objectives.
