Chaos Heroes Online Interview .

We recently had the chance to discuss what makes the game unique with the production team with the makers of Chaos Heroes Online! Checkout what Myzzrym has to say about the game and why players should be interested!

I’d like to start off with an introduction. Can you please introduce yourself to our readers and give a brief background about your company?

Hello everyone, Myzzrym here. I’m part of the Production team of Chaos Heroes Online and a huge MOBA enthusiast. Aeria Games is a Publishing company which brings a wide array of games – ranging from PC, browser to mobile games – from Asia to Europe and America.

 

What makes Chaos Heroes Online different from every other MOBA on the market right now?

Quite a lot! History wise, it’s the only other Warcraft 3 DotA map to evolve into a stand-alone (DotA: Chaos) – the first one being DotA: Allstars which became DOTA 2. DotA:Chaos was quite the rage in South Korea back then! Many famous Korean pro players like SKT T1 Faker used to play Chaos.

In terms of gameplay Chaos Heroes is a lot more action-oriented. Many consumables from Warcraft 3 ladder are present in the game and players can buy items anywhere on the map, removing the need to frequently go back to base.

 

How long has Chaos Heroes Online been in development and have there been any major changes since the project began?

The Korean developers have been working on the franchise for more than a decade now. The original developer (who made DotA:Chaos from the original DotA map), known as Chogosu back in Warcraft 3, is still leading the Game Design team after all this time.

The game has been out for 3 years already in Korea. Notable changes since launch include their partnership with SEGA, which allowed different heroes from famous Japanese games such as Guilty Gear or Blazblue to be implemented in Chaos Heroes.

Are there any other games that inspired its creation?

The original Defense of the Ancients created by Eul of course! The Korean developer team was very eager to bring Chaos Heroes back the “original land of MOBAs”.

 

I noticed that Chaos Heroes Online uses two factions with separate hero choices. What issues did this cause when attempting to balance the game?

While players in Europe always preferred playing -AP (All pick), Korean players almost exclusively played Faction mode (also known as “normal mode” for DotA Allstars players). This made the developers exclusively focus on balancing the game around faction vs faction – Chaos has never been balanced around all-pick mode.

 

The Crafting system allows item customization, how exactly does this work?

Similar to League of Legends’ Rune System, players in Chaos can get small bonuses from Crafting. Unlike League of Legends where your hero starts with the runes bonuses as soon as the game starts, the Craft bonuses are linked to their specific item and will only grant their boost if the player buys the corresponding item while ingame.

Example: You acquire a “Short Sword” (Magic), which normally grants +18 DMG for 900 gold. You roll a bonus and get +1 Agility. Now, whenever you’re in a game and buy Short Sword, you will get +18 DMG AND +1 Agility (still costs 900 gold).

 

How do players obtain item recipes and what do the different rarities mean?

Craft Items are acquired through quests and at the end of each game. Magic items have one bonus, Rare items have two, Epic items have three.

You can combine Magic items into Rare items, and Rare items into Epic items.

How much customization are players going to have over the looks, skills and equipment of their heroes?

Players will be able to buy skins to change their appearance. Most skins in Chaos Heroes also have new spell effects and new Voice Over.

 

Toxic players are almost always an issue in MOBAs. Are there going to be any countermeasures against these negative types of players?

Toxic players will be punished with chat restriction or game restriction depending on the nature of the offence.

 

What is the payment model going to be like in Chaos Heroes Online?

The game offers a free-to-play model with micro-transactions. There will be a free hero rotation as well as many cosmetic items to customize heroes with.

 

Are players who have been playing the game longer or spent more money going to have a significant in-game advantage?

The most massive advantage like in every MOBA is going to be game experience. Anything that can give an in-game advantage will be available with in-game currency.

 

Would you like to see the game reach the Esports scene?

Chaos Heroes has a healthy seasonal pro circuit in Korea and also hosted tournaments between the best Korean and Japanese teams; eSports is definitively on our mind!

 

Are there any tournaments planned for Chaos Heroes Online?

We can’t announce anything now, sorry about that but we will keep you posted.

 

What future updates or content is scheduled for Chaos Heroes Online?

Chaos Heroes will have numerous updates in the future, with a massive one probably in a couple of months!

Thank all of you guys for reading, and I hope I’ll get to meet you on the battlefield!
