30 years ago, cheat codes were extremely common across all kinds of games, but over time fewer and fewer games have launched with cheats available. As a game from the classic 90’s era of PC gaming, Warcraft 1 Remastered features a variety of cheat codes that are easy to use and provide a variety of beneficial effects.

Warcraft 3: Reforged – Every Cheat Code & What They Do
Cheat codes were a part of Warcraft 3 when it first came out, and they have returned in Warcraft 3: Reforged.
With Warcraft 1 cheats, you can get free resources, instant unit upgrades, stronger unit strength, faster build speed, the ability to jump between levels, and more. Though many of these WC1 cheats can be used in both single-player and multi-player modes, some can only be enabled under certain conditions.
How To Use Warcraft 1 Cheat Codes
To use cheat codes, Warcraft 1 players must first enter a game – you don’t enter cheats from the main menu, you enter Cheats with the in-game chat bar.
To enter a WC1 cheat code, simply press the ENTER key and type in the code phrase in the popup chat bar. You don’t need to pre-empt your command with a special character (like “https://gamerant.com/”), you just need to type the letters exactly as they appear in the list of all Warcraft 1 cheats below as you would a normal chat message, including spaces (or the lack thereof).
Most cheats will work in the singleplayer campaign, many will work in the singleplayer scenarios and modes in the RTS, and a few will even work in multiplayer games (if you enable Cheats, first). If you are in a game mode that will allow the cheat’s effect, or have cheats enabled in multiplayer, you should see a confirmation message that reads “cheat enabled you wascally wabbit”.
Some cheats don’t have obvious effects, like the one that unlocks all Magic spells. As long as you see this confirmation message, your cheat should be activated.
All WC1 Cheat Codes & Effects
When entering any of these Warcraft 1 cheat codes, you must type out each phrase as it appears below. Case does not matter, so you should be able to enter “THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE” or “there can only be one” to activate the high-damage invulnerable unit cheat, for example.
Some of these WC1 cheats only work in certain game modes. You can only skip to campaign levels while playing in the associated campaign, and likewise, you can only get to the final campaign sequence while playing in a campaign scenario.

9 Best Games Where You Play As An Orc
Rather than villains, games such as Skyrim and WarCraft allow gamers to take control of Orcs as the main protagonist of the story.
In multiplayer, you must enter the code “corwin of amber” to activate cheats, enabling the use of most cheat codes (that aren’t tied to the campaign) for both you and your opponent. Some cheats can be used in singleplayer without this code, while others are also tied to this code in both singleplayer and multiplayer, so be sure to check the table below to see if you must enter this initial Warcraft 1 cheat code to activate others.
