multiplayer action RPG game based on the popular mod, Defense of the
Ancients. Two teams of 5 play as special Hero units with the assistance
of AI-controlled armies in an attempt to destroy the enemy 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 team
oriented design of HoN and unprecedented Voice-Over-IP controls allow for a
incredibly deep tactical team based experience unlike any other.
Game Features:
- Dozens of heroes and over 100 items
guarantees no two games of HoN will ever be the same. With regular content
updates, featuring new Heroes, Maps, and Items, the gameplay will never grow
stale. - Client/Server Architecture eliminates lag, cheats and map hacking.
- In-game VOIP for fast and easy communication with
teammates. - Reconnect support allows players to easily reconnect to games in progress if
they are accidentally disconnected. - Dynamic stats tracking, with automated ladder and matchmaking systems.
- Leaver Protection System which restricts players that have
a history of leaving games early from joining. - Unparalleled replay system means all games played on
official servers have their replays automatically saved. Players can rewind,
slow down, fast forward, and otherwise pinpoint the exact part of a match that
they wish to view. - Tiered server support, enabling players to filter the
availability of games they host to certain types of players (new players,
experienced players, and highly experienced players). - The proprietary K2 engine delivers stunning graphics while
maintaining low system specs and allows players to completely customize their
interfaces and hotkeys. - Powerful map editor and mod capabilities.
- Upon launch will be available for Win, Mac
OSX, and Linux. - Available in seven language translations: En, Fr, Es, Gr, Cn, Kr,
and Ru.
