Summary:

Heroes of Newerth is a game based on the popular Warcraft III map (mod): Defense of the Ancients or DotA. DotA’s current designer, known as “IceFrog” granted permission to S2 Games to make their game in likeness to the original, adapting many of the heroes from Defense of the Ancients faithfully into the new game. The game will also feature a slew of new heroes from designers S2.

In true fashion to Defense of the Ancient’s gameplay, the player chooses one hero out of dozens upon dozens of heroes to play as and manage. The hero is played in a “match” alongside other players who will all be playing different heroes. It is up to the team to co-ordinate and “push” towards and ultimately destroy the opposing base. Simply which heroes a team is composed of can sway the outcome of a game as tactics are critical from even during the lobby stage of a game.

Heroes of Newerth was released for digital download May 12th 2010 through the official website.
