*Dota 2* is an action fantasy strategy game being developed by Valve - the
makers of Steam. Dota 2 is in reality the sequel to the popular Warcraft III
Defense of the Ancients and although it was announced in October 2010, it's
not due for release until fall of 2011. Most recently, it was promoted in the
The International Dota 2 Championship where teams from around the world
battled it out for a stunning $1,000,000 prize. Please note that Dota 2 is
only available for download via Steam but is available for both Windows and
Mac. Dota 2 is based on session-based online multiplayer action. The aim of
each team is to destroy their opposing team's fortified stronghold called
"Ancient Fortress". Each player takes part in team combat which take place in
defensive tower lined alley ways between bases. The gameplay has mainly been
transplanted from Defense of the Ancients. You control your players from a
top down perspective as you progress through 25 levels of gameplay. Your main
aim is to defend your team tower or "Ancient Fortress" playing in teams of
five on five. Players accumulate Gold with the more deadly players winning
the most and gaining the most experience which permits them to move through
levels. *Dota 2 will be Valve's first action fantasy strategy game - don't
miss it.*Download *Dota 2 Preview Beta* in Softonic
