The 56th most popular adventure/RPG game on Windows
A DotA successor with an independant engine and a brand new list of community features to modernize the online multiplayer experience. It's the DotA gameplay formula with some new Hero characters, stat tracking and replays, buddy lists and clans, matchmaking and ranking system, and more. It's currently (2009-October) in a small closed beta, but open beta is soon to come. Currently, closed beta members can purchase a full account for $30, because the game will not be free upon release.… More Edit

The price tag at $30 is, in my opinion, very high in the U.S., relative to other games and their prices. It's $30 for a multiplayer-only game at a steep learning curve where my experience is very polarized and half-&-half: what I mean by this is, half the time, I have awesome fun games, and the other half of the time, I have horrible grueling games. the DotA formula is inherently flawed in that if you start losing in the first couple minutes, your probability of losing the whole game skyrockets. There are very rarely turnarounds. On the other hand, take Team Fortress 2: a multiplayer-only game for just $20, that has a much more shallow (but still difficult) learning curve, and I have a lot of fun whether I lose or win - although of course, It's more fun if I win.
Don't get me wrong: I love HoN, I have played hundreds of hours of it already, and it's a great game. But I stand by the opinion that it's not worth $30 relative to the cost of other games here.
What are you people complaining about the price? In my country here in Europe its normal to pay 44€ - 65€ for good game. 30$ is actually 19.9€, so the game is very cheap! And 44€ - 65€ is 66$ - 98$, for comparison..
Nerf Maliken, FTW!..
TOO BAD, ITS ME BLACKSMITH!
Yeah, i agree too. The game is really great.
Interface is brilliant.
I have to agree with Vince on the price. The game isn't even 300MB, which means it doesn't have much content. With more maps and better graphics would do it. I won't pay more than $15 for this game. Even if it's addictive and i love it, it's not worth the $30... At least for now.
This game is a fantastic successor to DotA.
Its got brilliant graphics which look fantastic, but admittedly are disorienting to new players.
The interface is simply perfect. It's organized, usable, non-bloated.
The price at $30 is high in my opinion- I'd buy it if it were 20, and I think it should be 15. But seeing as I'm in the closed beta and it's free for now, I'm happy :).
