Dota 2 Goes 8-Bit: Fan Recreates the Game in PICO-8
Ever wondered what Dota 2 would look like on a Game Boy? Well, now you can find out. A dedicated fan has made an 8-bit version of Dota 2 using PICO-8, a virtual fantasy console software that allows users to create and edit their own 8-bit games. Check out the fan-made 8-bit Dota 2 video here!
Introducing DOTA-8
The game, called DOTA-8, faithfully recreates the three-lane setup of a traditional Dota 2 match. Players can choose five heroes and send them down each lane to battle creeps and opposing heroes. The objective is not to take down the Ancient, but rather to destroy all three towers on your opponent’s side.
In DOTA-8, heroes are controlled using the arrow keys and attack automatically by touching each other. The Z and X keys activate the heroes’ first and second skills respectively. It’s worth noting that the game is not balanced, as the creator openly states. Matches are short, lasting only a few minutes, but it can be a fun alternative for Dota 2 fans looking for a quick gaming fix.
Conclusion
While DOTA-8 may not replace Dota 2, it offers a nostalgic and entertaining experience that can be enjoyed within a few minutes. Give it a try and see if you can conquer the 8-bit Dota 2 world!
