5 Must Play free steam games
I am a really big fan of playing computer games on STEAM. I love to play with multiple players online who belong to different countries, Thanks to Steam which gives us the opportunity to meet world’s best gamers on a completely gaming friendly platform. Today I will share 5 of the most popular free Steam games that one must play.
So here is the list:
Dota 2
Dota 2 stands first in my must play free steam games list, Dota 2 is successor to the old Dota(Defense of the ancients) which was a very popular game indeed. After the success of Dota 1, Valve developers decided to launch another standalone game which will be similar to Dota 1 but will have more features, including a moderated shop and much better graphics.
Dota 2 is basically a great multiplayer online battle arena, where players from all around the world can gather and compete. The goal is to destroy the enemy’s base to win the game. Each player will have an especial hero for himself.
Players can enhance their hero’s power by purchasing different items and recipes from shops. The idea is to increase the hero’s hit points, attacking speed, movement speed, armor, mana and more precisely his attacking power so that he can hit his enemy with the maximum power he has.
There are 3 different kinds of heroes in Dota 2, Strength, Agility and intelligence. All heroes contain different abilities, some have higher strength, some have higher speed and some are rich in mana.
To be more comprehensive, Dota 2 is a game full with action and strategy having two different teams Radiant and Dire. Each team has 5 players which try to destroy the enemy base in order to win the game. Players can choose a hero for themselves from a pool of more than 100 heroes.
All in all, Dota 2 is a great game played by millions of fans worldwide. Get the taste of this enthusiastic game which has thrilled many.
