About this game

Characters from Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft and Overwatch fight each other in teams of five along lanes in this 2015 PC game. It strips out what made the genre forbidding: experience is shared by the whole team, so nobody falls behind alone, gold and buyable items are gone, and a talent chosen at set levels, the big ones at ten and twenty, adds or changes an ability. Each of the fifteen maps has an objective of its own that turns the match, and winning means pushing creeps lane by lane through gateways, towers and fortresses until a core falls. A game runs about twenty minutes. Sharing experience across the team still keeps a bad start from sinking one player today.

Every timeless game
