I'm in the beta. Per my agreement, I can only give keys out to Linux users. It's a fun game though for sure.

The forum I got them off of is a Linux one. He had a few keys and said he could give them out, but he wanted to encourage Linux use, so he asked us to only share with Linux users.

The game is pretty neat, but there is no tutorial whatsoever, from what I found.

I have two beta codes if anyone wants one. Yes, giving away one to you non-Linux users, on the sole condition that you TRY Ubuntu Linux or Kubuntu Linux live discs. They are free and won't hurt your system.

I made a thread about this game... It didn't get any other posts. :/

I'm in. I've been in since Tim from CAD. I'm not good, but it's really fun.

I am somewhere... somewhere..
I've been playing the beta. It's amazingly better than DotA. I'd always feed in DotA but I usually always get a few decent kills every now and then depending on my team.

I don't see why we'd have to pay $30 for it once it releases though.. If you're that much of a hardcore DotA-er then I say go for it.

it's just DotA on the S2 engine

graphics are well done, and the development team is working closely with the community to ensure that it'll be a good port

pretty much the game itself has a ridiculously steep learning curve

but yea it's DotA that runs more smoothly + looks better

balance + actual gameplay is still rather imbalanced though

i have a few beta keys if anyone needs some, just PM me

If you like this game, try Demigods. I think it was a better DotA game than this one because you have a more active role.
