In Heroes of Newerth, two teams of up to five players each take on the role of special Hero units. Remember, you mission is to destroy the enemy base as fast as you can.
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 coupled with unprecedented in-game Voice-Over-IP controls and Clan Support allow for an incredibly deep, tactical team-based experience.

· Quick reconnect feature allows players to jump right back into their game should they get disconnected
· In-game VOIP for fast and easy communication with teammates
· Game archives and replay support for all games played on official servers (players can rewind, slow down, fast forward, and otherwise pinpoint the exact part of a match that they wish to view)
