  If there ever was a game that truly grows on you, it must be Heroes of Newerth. But it can be a painful process.

  I had never heard of DotA or LoL before my friend showed me some footage of Heroes of Newerth and explained me some of the basics. The gameplay looked fast-paced and the amount of heroes just blew me off. Thus I consider... Read Full Review

  Poor attempt to enter the MOBA field

  By bryceangelo | Review Date: Apr 30, 2013 | PC

  Heroes of Newerth simply doesn't compete with the other MOBA games that are out at the moment. The shop system leaves much to be desired. I constantly found myself spending minutes at a time searching for the items I nee... Read Full Review

  This game used to be called DoTA 1.5.

  When I bought this game for 30 dollars, I knew what I was getting: a modern version of Defenders of The Ancients. After a while S2 started adding their own heroes which were often very strong if not overpowered. Later th... Read Full Review

  Heroes of Newerth is an incredible game, but the steep learning curve and community may put you off.

  Heroes of Newerth (HoN) is an incredibly rewarding, challenging, tactical team based game which pits two teams of 5 against each other on a 3 laned map with creeps, buildings and towers. It is one of the most popular gam... Read Full Review

  Ultimate strategy game with pristine balancing and patching.

  By bprofit | Review Date: Nov 11, 2011 | PC

  This game is just so underrated I can not put it into words. When reviewing this game it will be easier for you to understand if you think of this game as a sport. It is one match at a time every time you play. The only ... Read Full Review

  The game itself is greet, even if its a Dota clone, its only drawback that rely set this game back was its Community.

  All the 1's are in all fairness, probably LoL players. This is a good game, but like many still has a few flaws.

  By Kazmo-Khan | Review Date: Oct 19, 2011 | PC

  I'll tell you right now its going to be hard to find an unbiased review for Heroes of Newerth, Dota, or League of Legends. There seems to be a war within the community where if you like one game, you must absolutely desp... Read Full Review

  Addictive and fun at times, but ruined by an absolutely horrific online community. Not for the faint of heart.

  By PseudoElite | Review Date: Oct 16, 2011 | PC

  This game is extremely similar to DOTA, but it improves on it in certain ways: - Better graphics - Tools like being able to reconnect if you disconnect - A matchmaking system that judges player levels to create games ... Read Full Review
