Anybody else enjoying or looking forward to this awesome Dota based game?
What is Heroes of Newerths?
A new DBG in the works from S2 Games.
DBG?
DotA Based Games! Games based on DotA.
What's Defense of the Ancients (DotA)?
A popular map/mod to Warcraft III, and what is considered the start of the DBG genre. Two bases with a series of paths between them. Each is line with defenses and constant waves of AI enemies smashing against each other. Players take roles of epic champions and fight to turn the tide and destroy the other base.
What is S2 Games?
An independent game company recreating Defense of the Ancients on an independent engine.
Is HoN a strategy game? A MMO?
Neither, although with elements of each. You only control one character unlike most strategy games, although in a similar style of control.
HoN?
HoN = Heroes of Newerth
hon = short for honey
Release Date?
To be announced
Price? Monthly Fee?
30 dollars and that's it. No monthly fees. Great bargain for a well polished game.
Are there any other DBG's?
Yes, but who cares, HoN is the best! *cough* In addition to HoN and DotA, there is also Demigod (really might want to avoid that one) and LoL (League of Legends). HoN is being developed as a better clone of DotA, while LoL is trying new stuff out in the DBG genre.
How do I get into the closed beta?
Sign up on their site and play. Alternatively, have a friend in the beta and ask for an invite. You may also get lucky asking for an invite on some internet forums. The DotA forums maybe.
I'm having problems with the game!
Beta boards can help. Remember, this isn't even open beta yet.
Are there clans?
Ofcourse.
Will this run on my computer?
If it runs DotA, it would probably run HoN. Heck it even runs on Linux and Mac.
Is this game addictive and fun?
Ask the hundreds of thousands of gamers in the closed beta.
