About RoI
Rise of Immortals is an action real-time strategy game developed by Petroglyph Games for Microsoft Windows. It features the popular action-strategy gameplay of traditional DotA games, but adds enhanced socialization features, along with persistent character progression. Instead of an account-based leveling system, players can advance their Immortals through a diverse, persistent skill tree, customizing and upgrading the characters to unlock unique abilities that persist from match to match.

In addition, Rise of Immortals features a social hub where players can show off their enhanced Immortals, chat, emote, browse leaderboards, shop, manage friend and guild lists and more. Players also have the option of taking their Immortals through cooperative Player versus Environment (PvE) scenarios to learn the game, try out new abilities and earn persistent experience before jumping into Player versus Player (PvP) matches online.


Features

• 12 unique Immortals at launch with additional Immortals released on
a regular basis.
• Persistent per-Immortal level progression and skill trees.
• Persistent artifacts for stat enhancements.
• Player versus Environment instances with collectable items.
• Player versus Player instances with up to 5v5 multiplayer.
• Persistent experience and leveling in both PvP and PvE instances.
• Collectible pets for combat and vanity.
• Account and Immortal statistics tracking.
• Player hub instances for socialization.

I wish Petroglyph would make Star Wars: Empire at War 2.

After seeing Dota 2, all these other DOTA games look not worth bothering with.

No concept art in the OP? I am disappoint.

LOL It was you who was bombarding Dota2 threads with RoI concept arts wasn't it.

Shame people didn't have a sense of humor.
As expected from the SRS BZNSS!!1! Dota fanbase, as if on cue. :p

Why this game will never be taken seriously.

Pay2Win. You buy power for your Heroes with real money. WTF is this shiet!?! I only got 1000 coins due to making an account in beta.

So this game just showed up on Steam. As someone who isn't super into LoL but enjoys playing it casually, is this worth trying out?

I will say having to pay real money for "Artifacts" (which I assume are RoI's version of Runes) turns me off from it a bit.

I really hate to say this but I am actually enjoying the game.

The bad things
-Heroes are ugly as fuck except for Tatiana and need a complete redesign
-After match rewards are very very low
-Pay2Win runes/artifacts (as seen from my screenshot)
-Not much hero variety (there are 13)
-Has 'Masteries' like LoL where you have to grind levels for.

The good
-Plays like DOTA/LoL/HoN for the most part
-Has a different item system than traditional MOBA games, you can upgrade them instead of buying parts to make a better item.
-Doesn't have those horrible Summoner spells from LoL

One thing i forgot to check is creep denying.
