DOTA 2 Review

DOTA 2 is a free to play MOBA by Valve boasting a huge and committed player base of millions of people worldwide. The sequel of the original Defense of the Ancients (DotA), incorporates some world-class production values in terms of gameplay, content and presentation. It is also one of the most competitive online games with major tournaments, events and leagues held every year, attracting a huge audience and giving away grand prizes.

Gameplay is centered around two teams of five players who battle one another to destroy the opposing team’s Ancient structure while at the same time defending their own. Selectable heroes are currently over 100 and each one has a distinctive set of skills and attributes. This huge pool of available heroes and the possible combinations of their powers, create an intimidating environment for every new player. Truth is that DOTA 2 is not destined to win the casual gamer who doesn’t have serious time to invest to the game. As the learning curve is very steep, you will need time and experience to master the game’s detailed mechanics and character skills, something that is necessary in order to understand the combat elements and become truly competitive.

In case you manage to keep up, you will feel greatly rewarded by the challenging gameplay, the completely free full content and the highly competitive atmosphere. All things considered, you will probably end up craving for more!
