Title: Heroes of Newerth beta (3 keys to give out)
Post by: idolminds on Wednesday, July 08, 2009, 01:47:50 PM

Heroes of Newerth is the new game from S2 (Savage, Savage 2). It's pretty much a straight up clone on Defense of the Ancients. So if anyone is interested in a beta invite, I just got 3 to give out.

Isn't that the mod for Warcraft 3 that makes it a lot like Demigod?

Sort of. Demigod is "inspired by" DotA, but they are quite different in how they feel and play.

But yes, DotA is the Warcraft 3 mod. Instead of controlling a bunch of units you control aa single hero that you level up. Eventually you go trash the enemy base. Thats the basics.

Well, the game doesn't like dialup. Bummer.
