About this game
Two teams of five, one hero each, and one Ancient to destroy in the other base: that is this 2013 online battle arena. It remakes Defense of the Ancients, the community made Warcraft III mod. Heroes have unique abilities, and players gather experience and items during a match to win fights. Development began in 2009, when the mod's lead designer was hired for a standalone version, and it reached Steam in July 2013 after an open beta that began two years before. No hero or gameplay element has to be bought, and the yearly tournament The International has had crowdfunded prizes above 40 million dollars. Nothing needs buying to play, so anyone can start today.
