Geekscape Games Podcast: Level 27 – ‘Big Ole Splatfest!’

Heroes of the Storm will launch with more than 30 playable Heroes, over 130 Skins, 14 steadfast mounts, and 7 dynamic Battlegrounds, each with unique challenges to overcome—and even more Heroes, Skins, Mounts, and Battlegrounds are on the way! Over the last year we’ve also implemented over 430 different color Tints across our Heroes, Skins, and Mounts to help you customize your look so you can brawl in style. These color options will continue to be unlockable for free as you play your Heroes and seek to master them on field of battle. Rest assured that we’ll have even more exciting Heroes developments in the coming months.

I for one, am extremely excited for this title. I’m not a HUGE fan of MOBA’s, but respect the genre and its popularity. It’s a game of skill, where the players ability shines through. I equate games like LoL and DOTA 2 to that of Counter-Strike. The best part of Heroes of The Storm is the crossovers! Who doesn’t love a good crossover?!
