Early Access Review
The game is great for what it has to offer. It has serious potential with future updates and when the developers complete all the chapters meant for release.

Pros:
-Solid Combat
-Great Heroes which all feel very different to play (trying new heroes has replay ability here is good)
-Quick matches (25-30min)
-Controls: WASD mouse and keyboard movement (So not like your typical PoE/Diablo games)
-Art Style: Has charm and gives this game an identity and not some clone.
-10 Difficulty Levels

Cons:
-Only 1 boss fight (this can get quite repetitive but you need to take into account early access/heroes/difficulty levels)
-Only 1 map (which really doesn't matter that much with procedural generated quests/mob locations)
-Crashes (not overly so but they exist in some small circumstances) (This is not to be confused with peer to peer disconnects that kick your coop players out which is not the game's fault usually)
-Minor bugs like sometimes not being able to hit certain mobs (but it isn't every game every person every mob -- for example I've never had it happen to me on any hero with any mobs -- but other coop friends have had it happen on several)
-No Rejoin hosts after you got disconnected for whatever reason (have to wait till their match is over to rejoin)

Overall thoughts:
This game is great for what it has to offer. It is fun and engaging. The combat feels really good and the overall gameplay loop is fun. If you want to support a hidden gem that could be your next main stay rogue-like when it fully launches, then this is a must buy. If you have issues with putting things down till new updates are out after you've played through the game on a few difficulty levels with all the heroes, then you might want to wait till more content is available. I've listed a few Cons above but in all honesty they didn't prevent me from want to play nor did they take away enough to give this game a bad review. Anyone that is giving this game a bad review for "lack of content" has unrealistic expectations for a 17-20 dollar early access. Early access is meant to help the game developers with bugs/vision to make sure the game play loop is going in the right direction. It is not a finished product and they clearly state that in this game that the rest of the chapters will be finished over the course of the year in early access with more heroes added, etc. If you want a game with loads of content, don't buy and don't give a bad review to a game that has great potential. If you want to help the developers progress a game with a great foundation into something special, this is a great investment in a game that will be rock solid on release.

Simply the best moba out there. More depth than LoL and vastly more knowledge to learn. Every hero having different stats, turn rates, attack speeds...Terrain like high ground and low ground fog of war vision and tree juking to stacking and pulling. All require a higher level of skill than say LoL to learn and adapt to. However this game like most mobas is not friendly to newer players and I'd strongly suggest either using dota 2 guides or dota plus to assist you as a newer player. It is not a casual moba that you can jump in and out, it takes time, dedication and the ability to analyze and adapt to do well and merely improve. The meta and heroes are ever-changing and a build that worked even months ago could be out of date after one patch or another. But the game itself is rewarding and the cosmetic skins are great as well as the dota 2 client compared to other mobas. So if you love a challenge and aren't discouraged by a harsh learning curve then it is simply the best moba out there with no close second. Sorry LoL.
