“I love the full-circle aspect of custom games coming to Dota 2.” says Greg Kasavin of Supergiant Games. We approached several developers from Supergiant and Ronimo-many of whom were a part of the Warcraft mod scene in the heady era that birthed Dota-and we asked them for their take on Dota 2 Reborn's new modder-friendly features.Ĭould Dota 2’s custom games give birth to mods that become so robust and so popular that they come to be viewed as full-fledged games? Could someone create a Dota 2 mod that eventually became as monumental as DOTA itself? Ronimo's Awesomenauts is also deeply indebted to Dota, turning the action-RTS genre on its side and into a 2D side-scrolling version of its inspiration.
It also influenced countless other games, including Supergiant’s Bastion and Transistor. The original Dota didn't just spawn the highly popular Dota 2 and League of Legends. "Could Dota 2’s custom games give birth to mods that become so robust and so popular that they come to be viewed as full-fledged games? Could someone create a Dota 2 mod that eventually became as monumental as DOTA itself?"ĭota 2’s Reborn client-a beta for all of the new changes-is already stuffed with a variety of modes that put an entirely new spin on gameplay by emphasizing or stripping away certain components of the base game.įor instance, one mode throws Dota 2 heroes onto a soccer field and strips out every ability that isn't a 'skill shot.' Instead of the complex strategy required to win in a normal game of Dota 2, winning this soccer mode is about pure prediction and reflex.
