February 2022 • Macworld 71such as the Brawl mode that was
introduced a few months ago.
Heroes 2.0 – as it’s being called
by Blizzard – has arrived just as
the game is celebrating its second
birthday, and it does more than just
adding a bit more content. There
are the usual additions, such as the
new cyborg assassin Genji, and an
updated set of ‘challenge’ quests that
encourage you to bring friends into
the game by offering goodies such
as skins and mounts when you work
together to complete the quests.
More importantly, Heroes 2.0
also updates some of the game’s
core systems, such as the way your
characters progress and gain new
levels during each battle. It now
takes your characters a little longer
to progress through the early levels
in the game, but the higher levels are
slightly easier, which makes it less
of a grind for regular players who
want to level up their most powerful
characters. The maximum level cap
has also been removed altogether,
so you can just keep on levelling and
getting more and more powerful with
every game.
Blizzard has also shifted some of
the emphasis away from spending18.
