Heroes of Newerth

Heroes of Newerth is a session based multiplayer action RPG game based on the popular mod, Defense of the Ancients. Two teams of 5 play as special Hero units with the assistance of AI-controlled armies in an attempt to destroy the enemy base. As a match progresses, players can earn experience and gold which can be used to upgrade skills or purchase items to make their character more powerful. The team oriented design of HoN and unprecedented Voice-Over-IP controls allow for a incredibly deep tactical team based experience unlike any other.

• Dozens of heroes and over 100 items guarantees no two games of HoN will ever be the same. With regular content updates, featuring new Heroes, Maps, and Items, the gameplay will never grow stale
• Client/Server Architecture eliminates lag, cheats and map hacking
• In-game VOIP for fast and easy communication with teammates
• Reconnect support allows players to easily reconnect to games in progress if they are accidentally disconnected
• Dynamic stats tracking, with automated ladder and matchmaking systems
• Leaver Protection System which restricts players that have a history of leaving games early from joining
• Unparalleled replay system means all games played on official servers have their replays automatically saved. Players can rewind, slow down, fast forward, and otherwise pinpoint the exact part of a match that they wish to view
• Tiered server support, enabling players to filter the availability of games they host to certain types of players (new players, experienced players, and highly experienced players)
• The proprietary K2 engine delivers stunning graphics while maintaining low system specs and allows players to completely customize their interfaces and hotkeys
• Powerful map editor and mod capabilities
• Upon launch will be available for Win, Mac OSX, and Linux
• Available in seven language translations: En, Fr, Es, Gr, Cn, Kr, and Ru
