The oldest competitor of League of Legends returns, was discontinued “too early”

earthpressnews

The Moba Heroes of Nerwerh (Hon), which was set in 2022, is to come back in a remaster version and again take it up with the great competition from League of Legends and Dota 2.

What do I need to know about Hon? When Heroes of Nerwerth was released on May 12, 2010, League of Legends was already the top dog among the mobas where you had to measure yourself. When Dota 2 turned a three-way battle in July 2013, the pressure rose.

Despite the playful proximity to Dota, the game of S2 Games had some special features-such as Deny Mechanics, which made it possible to kill its own minions and towers so that the opponent does not receive gold or experience-but provided the Buy2Play- Model, the higher complexity and the high quality of the free competition that the number of players fell.

The end was only a matter of time: the servers were shut down on June 20, 2022. Much too early, as the developers of the Congor studios explain. With the help of the Garena publisher, a remaster version of HON has now been announced. Here is the trailer:

Balance act between nostalgia and modern

What should improve? With the new Igames engine, HON should look more modern and sound better. In addition, the developers are planning improvements for the combat experience and features such as queues for roles. At the same time, however, you also want to keep the strong core of the game in order to do justice to the inheritance and fans.

Unlike the original, Heroes of Nerwerth: Reborn should rely on a Free2Play model with optional microtransactions from the start. However, these should in no way affect the gaming experience. Financing does not seem to be too secure. In parallel to the announcement, the developers started a crowdfunding round for Hon: Reborn on App.igames.com.
