S2 Games' DotA-alike Heroes of Newerth has concluded its lengthy beta test and version 1.0 of the retail version of the game has been released.

Heroes of Newerth puts teams of players against each other in micromanagement-intensive battles as neutral units push forward toward the enemy base. Player cooperation is the key to victory as coordination can quickly turn the tide of battle.

Available digitally from S2, the retail version of HoN will run you $30.00 and clients are available for PC, Mac, and Linux.

Additionally, S2 has launched a program for players to design and submit their own characters, which can be voted upon by the community. The first of which, Gauntlet, has already been added to the game.

All is well other than the fact S2 screwed SIngapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam. Me being in the first, I don't think I will be playing this any longer.

If you enjoy gaming, you support the guys that made this game.
It is worth it's money twice for the beta alone.
Buy it.

This game is very rewarding if you take the time to learn the game. I think a lot of the negativity in the beta will be neutralized since much of the smurfing trash will have moved on. That being said, it's a good idea to find a couple friends to play with regularly.

I want this map/mod/gameplay type to be the next one integrated into HoN. I'd even pay another $20 for it!

Footmen vs Grunts. Hands down my favorite custom map/gametype from Warcraft 3.

Thank you S2Jason!
