Heroes of Newerth (commonly known as HoN) is a
free-to-play action/real-time strategy game based on DotA. The
developer S2 Games announced last Friday that HoN is now
free-to-play. HoN is heavily inspired by the popular Warcraft 3
mod, Defense of the Ancients (DotA), but with vast improvements in
graphics and gameplay. In HoN, two teams of up to five players each
take on the role of special Hero units.With the assistance of AI-controlled armies, each team sets out
with the sole objective of destroying the other team’s 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 game is available for Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux.
