I just learned that Ironclad Games has released a new free-to-play Action RTS/MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game called Sins of a Dark Age. I guess it's supposed to be in the same genre as DOTA and League of Legends, none of which I've ever played.

Ironclad Games is known for creating Sins of a Solar Empire, but I'm under the impression that this isn't a 4x-RTS like Sins, but a completely different genre. (Interesting that they used the word "Sins" in the game's name.)

I wonder if the game play is somewhat similar to Savage 2.

Epic hybrid blends traditional and action real-time strategy genres for an entirely new and unrivalled strategy experience.
-----------------

Ironclad Games presents a real-time fantasy strategy experience like no other: Sins of a Dark Age. From the studio that brought forth the genre-blending gem and 2008 PC Game of the Year, Sins of a Solar Empire, comes a new strategy hybrid focused on team-based “Hero and Commander Strategy” gameplay.

In Sins of a Dark Age, players join an online team consisting of one Commander and a small group of Heroes who work together to accomplish a specific scenario goal. Go head-to-head against an enemy team in a short, fast-paced multiplayer match or work cooperatively against the AI in custom scenarios. Earn rewards for yourself and your clan, climb in ranks, and watch and share your most glorious replays. Players can choose from an ever-growing pool of heroes, commanders and factions each of which supports unique capabilities.
