📕 Description [en]

📕🐧"blabla"🐧📕


Heroes of Newerth is a session based multiplayer action RPG game based on the popular mod, Defense of the Ancients.
Two teams of up to five play as special Hero units with the assistance of AI-controlled armies in an attempt to destroy the enemy 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 and unprecedented Voice-Over-IP controls allow for an incredibly deep tactical team based experience unlike any other. Join as a solo player or team up with friends, either way, the fully customizable and automated Matchmaking System ensures teams are balanced fairly in regards to size and skill.

Casual Mode provides new players with a more relaxed, less punishing way to learn and play HoN. Casual Mode games, while still cultivating skill in players, emphasizes shorter games, with more action, and less punishment. Accessible to the masses, HoN provides features and options that appeal to gamers of all experience levels.


🌍️ Wikipedia :

Heroes of Newerth (HoN) is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed by S2 Games for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
The game idea was derived from the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne custom map Defense of the Ancients and is S2 Games' first MOBA title.

Heroes of Newerth pits two teams of players against each other: the Legion and the Hellbourne.[4] Both teams are based at opposite corners of the map in their respective bases. Bases consist of buildings, creep spawn points, towers, a hero spawning pool, and a central structure. The goal of the game is to either destroy the central structure, world tree (Legion) or Sacrificial Shrine (Hellbourne), of the opposite base or force the other team to concede. Players achieve this by selecting heroes with unique skills to combat the other team.

The different game modes are: Co-op, Player Hosted, Normal, and Casual. Co-op matches players either with other players or with bots against a team of bots. Player Hosted allows players to customize their games and then host them to a list for others to join. Casual is similar to a Normal game in terms of layout and game play. However, they differ in other ways such as an included courier for each side at the start of the game and increased gold and experience earnings throughout each match.

In Matchmaking games, Heroes of Newerth groups players by their Match Making Rating (MMR) via an algorithm. A new player has an MMR of 1500 and then each ranked game played changes that MMR, going up if the player wins and down if the player loses.

🕵️ Test [fr]

🕵️ Test (2.1.5) :
Un graphisme superbe, des effets sonores et une bande son magnifiques. Une très belle interface animée et fourmillante d'options, se mettant à jour automatiquement sans la quitter. Un mode d'apprentissage permet de démarrer en douceur.
Un choix incroyable de personnages, d'une très grande richesse : chaque personnage est finement détaillé avec toutes sortes d'animations (nous trouvons vraiment adorable notamment le personnage "The Chipper" : un petit animal aux commandes de sa machine infernale).
Il est possible de créer sa propre partie en local ou d'affronter d'autres joueurs sur les serveurs du jeu.
Louis aime particulièrement Devourer (il peut aspirer le sang de ses adversaires pour récupérer des points de vies et il a des flatulences toxiques :), les Kongors (les animaux les plus forts du jeu, néanmoins si vous tombez nez à nez avec l'un d'eux, il ne vous suivra que sur une courte distance), mais aussi les ingénieurs : ils ont accès à toutes sortes d'outils (mines, mitrailleuses, bombes, ils peuvent poser des champs de forces ...).
Nous ne sommes pour l'instant pas parvenu à créer une partie en mode serveur sur laquelle d'autres joueurs puissent se connecter (limitation de la version gratuite ?).
Un jeu d'une qualité exceptionnelle.
Superbe, magnifique !
