Features

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. 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.
