Why players love itThings to know
78% of themes are praise22% are divided0% are caveats
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The "Hero" characters you could buy separately as an expansion for the real game are here too with a level up system just like the original game.
42 of 222 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The only criticism I can say is that the Menus could be designed a little better to make it easier to get into online matchmaking and I found it strange that real-time turns wasn't the default option as that's the one most people will want to play, not the 48 hour turns one.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The DLC is reasonably priced for a game with almost infinite replayability, and I really don't understand what the fuss is about paying for DLC.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
You can level your favorite heroes, smash through single-player story campaigns, team up for co-op online battles, or jump into real-time PvP - which is where I spend most of my time, battering strangers with my Wizard and Ranger builds.

Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Note that there IS now a way to play without characters, but the option is a bit buried in the challenge interface. 100% worth the free game, and worth purchasing the other characters and campaign via in-game purchase.
