is an accessible game featuring Nintendo’s most popular stars, Heroes of the Storm is a mash up of Blizzard’s games. So far, so standard.īut differences do start to appear as the game veers from the standard template. Each team’s goal is straightforward to attack their opponent’s tower, while simultaneously defending their own. The action takes place in an arena and pits two teams of five players against each. By contrast, you can pick up Heroes of the Storm after just a few 20 minute games.Īt first glance, Heroes of the Storm seems like a carbon copy of its rivals. This gave those dedicated enough to master them a feeling of smug superiority, but did little to broaden their audience.
