HoN - 12th Independent Games Festival

Great news!
Heroes of Newerth has been nominated in the 12th Annual Independent Games Festival for the Best Technical Excellence category.

About the nominee:
Heroes of Newerth
S2 Games (Windows PC, Linux, and Mac)

Heroes of Newerth (HoN), a session-based, multiplayer, DotA based game, but with vast improvements in graphics and gameplay.

In Heroes of Newerth, two teams of up to five players each take on the role of special Hero units. With the assistance of AI-controlled armies, each team sets out with the sole objective of destroying the other team’s base. As a match progresses, players can earn experience and gold which can be used to upgrade skills or purchase items to make their character more powerful. The team-oriented design of HoN coupled with unprecedented in-game Voice-Over-IP controls and Clan Support allow for an incredibly deep, tactical team-based experience.
