Pudge Wars Alpha sees light of day

The popular Warcraft3 mod Pudge Wars is now one step closer to making it into the DOTA 2 world, with a video of the alpha being posted up on Reddit earlier today. If you were a fan of the original then be sure to pledge your support to Kobb and Aderum, the men behind the revival of a universally adored mini-game.

Despite the video showing a working prototype of the game, Pudge Wars like many other custom MODS in the works still lack a dedicated platform to play on. The creators mentioned on their website that a platform is almost ready, and for the time being they will try to host some matches on dedicated servers.


What is Pudge Wars?


Pudge Wars is primarily a team game, like Dota 2. Each player controls a Pudge with only one spell to use: Meat Hook. The teams faces off on a square map divided by an uncross-able river. The first team to get 50 kills wins the game. Kill players to level up and spend ability points to upgrade the damage, radius, distance, and speed of your hook. Buy custom items such as the Grappling Hook to help you secure even more kills. Here is a video of some gameplay. Keep in mind this video is from a while back and some things have been added since then.
