About the Game
Dota began as a user-made modification for Warcraft 3 and
has grown into one of the most played online games in the world.
Following in the tradition of Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team
Fortress, Portal, and Alien Swarm, Dota 2 is the result of Valve hiring
the community developers who built the mod and giving them the chance to
finally build a full product out of their idea with the help of a
professional team of developers and artists at Valve.
As for the gameplay, it’s a little hard to describe. The camera is
set in the traditional RTS perspective, but it wouldn’t be fair to call
Dota an RTS. And while each hero starts at level 1, and many times hits
the level cap of 25, it wouldn’t be fair to call it an RPG.
Lots of people have tried to assign various genre names to Dota, but
we think Action RTS is probably the most descriptive. And while we don’t
spend a lot of time trying to figure out what genre the game is
inventing, we can’t stop playing it internally!
