It's another DOTA clone. It's essentially the same game as DOTA, but with different looking characters that have different sounding skills but essentially do the same thing as they did in DOTA, except mixed up a little.
My personal impressions:
* Graphics: Far better than DOTA, of course. Characters have cool animation that is smooth.
* Play: Plays very similar to DOTA, except without the same hotkeys. I am so used to hitting "a" on my keyboard to attack, "s" to stop, etc. that this part has held me back. I'm sure there is an equivalent, I just haven't found it yet. I haven't figured out how to deny yet, or what deny does in this game versus DOTA.
* Characters: DOTA characters but with mixed up skills, and an occasional new skill tossed in.
* Extras: Runes are a cool concept, but weigh the game in favor of people who have played more. The matchup system is supposed to balance this out. I like the idea though; involves more strategy to team play if people are choosing what type of abilities they want beforehand.
If you're big into DOTA, it's worth a try. Every game I've played on it so far I stomped the enemy players hard, but I'm used to the DOTA level intense environment (in DOTA I'm somewhere between "you suck, noob" and mediocre level).
