The game is still a bit behind the competition in terms of alternate skin options for the heroes (there are some, but not tons), but aside from that the look and feel of the majority of the heroes are both fantastic. There is rarely any frustration about miss clicking thanks to the clear difference between minions and opposing heroes. The game's basic click to attack mechanic works incredibly well thanks to the beefy 3D models that are running around the map. Players click to move in traditional Diablo style and attacks are limited to left-click and just three mouse buttons (at the start). The game's mechanics are simple and intuitive enough for any PC gamer to feel confident enough to enter a Quick Match competition after completing the hour long(ish) tutorial. This might bother some lore experts, but gamers who are able to accept the experience for what it is are in for an amazing ride.
The game jokingly asks players to not too think much about how all of the heroes of villains from Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo ended up in the same place and to instead focus on having fun. Matches are fast-paced and usually last 15-30 minutes.Īs for story, despite being full of some of the most iconinc PC gaming characters of all time, Heroes of the Storm doesn't waste much time on plot. Most maps have three lanes and players work together to fight NPC minions and the other team to level up and reach the core. Two teams of five players each charge across a map in an attempt to destroy the other team's base (or core, as they are called in HotS). Despite the initial hesitation about Heroes of the Storm being more of the same, the Starcraft and Warcraft creator delivers a game that both honors and enhances the MOBA genre.įor readers who are new to the MOBA genre, the concept is pretty simple.
Blizzard, never one to back down from a challenge, throws its massive hat into the ring with Heroes of the Storm and attempts to carve out a piece of the eSports market for itself.
The two titans have defined the genre and it's hard to imagine a game improving on their model. There's no denying the highly-competitive, efficient MOBA experiences that are DOTA 2 and League of Legends. 'Heroes of the Storm' steals the best parts of existing MOBAs, adds some new mechanics, and throws in a recognizable cast of Blizzard characters to make an insanely fun and addicting PC arena brawler.
