Choose an unique hero, to fight hordes of evil monsters, face powerful demonic bosses in epic, tactical encounters and finally defeat Demon Lord Kil'jaeden in this cooperative RPG / Hack'n'Slash map!
It's not finished playable version of my Warchasers-like map. It means in this map you pick a hero, and with other players you dig through hordes of monsters, defeat powerful bosses, loot items and get experience. It's best to play it with minimum of 3 players, even thought difficulty level scales with number of players, so it is possible to play solo (not necessary with each hero).
Main features:
-8 of 12 heroes are available
-there are 3 triggered hero Bosses, the boss fights last usually few minutes and are exciting, require teamwork and tactic
-custom spells, most of them partially depend of attributes, so as you get better equipment your spells get stronger
-15 max level cap, anti grind system (you start with 2 level cap, it increases as you go progress in map)
-difficulty level depending of start number of players (faster, stronger spawns, stronger bosses), host can adjust it to skill of players (Easy for beginners, Medium for standard players, Hardcore! for veterans)
-map is widgetized, optimized and protected, if you want unprotected version PM or mail me

MasterHaosis: Hey man yes map isnot finished, but it is playable and nice piece of work here. I like your custom abilities.
[ ] Map scanned of viruses
[ ] Map doesnot crash WC3 as far I can see
[ ] Map is yours/seems no edited from other author...
Sorry. I wasn't clear on that. One might think it's about some trigger. I mean that players who choose should not be able to see the zone where the heroes can be chosen from again (destroy visibility of that region for each player after they choose their hero).
Played as Troll Berserker, I would say the game is very fun first hour into the game, the grind makes it feel special and very interesting until you realized that you can't grind more levels by making use of the spawn system. The item inventory swap can be very useful when you want to stack healing items with combat items and it allows that to be managed. I play the game in Hardcore mode and realized that it was not possible in single player, buying back your Hero is also odd. Overall, I think this game is fine, requires some tweaking to reach it's full potential.
Thank you for replying, deepstrasz. As I said, I will probably remake hero selection completely, so this won't be an issue anymore. As for rocks, I will probably do something with it, but well, I plan to remake the terrain entirely as I said in previous post.
Also thanks for feedback Destiny.Knight. I'm working on balance, but it's quite hard work, because my goal would be to make it playable for any number of players. So far I tested it mostly for 3-6 players, it's why I recommend playing with that sized team. When you play solo, it's usually easier for heroes that can heal, the rest generally need a lot of potions for boss fights. As for buying back your hero, I never wanted my map to have infinite lives, I wanted to have some significant penalty on death. Also I decided to remove ankhs, because they use inventory space, it's why for now I have this kind of system. Also what do you mean about not being able to grind more levels? In last stage of the game it's possible to reach max level, which is 15.
Good to hear from you Pszczolek, this is fun and I will try to use potions if I play it again. I respect it being a team game, regards to the level limit for grinding, I reached level 3 in the starting area and the game won't allow me to gain experience there, thus, making the grind weird as well. Seems like it is in it's beta, I wish you luck!
wow man, so u actually did updated your map! we played together on Battle net a couple months ago, dunno if u remember, i was the tank that died at the end, hehe
anyway, gj bro!
I played this game with 2 of my friends, despite its quick completion time and simplicity, This game absolutely gets a 5/5. It is a fun little dungeon crawler reminiscent of Warchasers, except with satisfying heroes, well made and badass items (especially the class specific ones), STAT SCALING ABILITIES, and a normal camera, however there were no real minigmes, which was a very cool feature of Warchasers. The Shaman is also a very interesting and cool hero, who while being exotic is not a gimmick and actually very potent. My one other suggestion would be to change the life steal of the sword from a small constant to a small percentage, like 10% or something.
This is my Hammer, thanks for your appreciation! I will still be working on this map, I got a lot of ideas to implement. I don't have too much time though, so the progress is really slow. Updated to version 0.93g. Next will be probably 0.94, and it's gonna be big update with new heroes and other content.
Updated to version 0.93h. Biggest change is boss hp scaling, hero selection and custom models for some of the heroes. I'm working now on 0.94 version with new heroes, new terrain and other content.
