Cooperate with your team to survive in the Arena through the 25 waves of creeps.

Gameplay

The Heroes

Each of the Heroes select a magical weapon, by typing the weapons name(ex.-pick) , and which weapon you choose decides the abilities the Hero will receive.
There are a total of 10 weapons to choose from, which means there are 10 heroes select between.

The Story
Before the game of Warcraft 3, Reign of Chaos, began, the orc populace were still prisoners of the Human Alliance. The captured orc prisoners from the second invasion of the horde were kept in interment camps.
Over the years, the orc populace grew within the camps, forcing the humans to build more. The more camps built, the more money the king had to tax from the citizens, weakening the ties of the alliance. In hopes of making a the camps self sufficient, a crude human warden, has decided to create public gladiator matches, in which orc prisoners, fight for their freedom, to entertain the money filled pockets of the human peasants.
