This game is alot like masturbating. Nobody is going to do it with you, and after you're done, you're left with an empty feeling inside.

Terrible game. It feels like it was designed by someone that has never played a MOBA. The interface is horrible, the tutorial doesn't walk you through the basics of how to choose a champion. There are way too many active ability choices outside of hero selection. The heroes don't feel like they've ever seen a balance stick ever. The game is just bad, plain bad.

At this point the game is dead. Official forums are full of unrelated bot spam, no official postings since Jan of 2014.
Shame really, it held such potential if they had taken it seriously and not just jumped on the "just another moba" bandwagon.
Avoid at all costs, even single player gets monotonous.

I got this for free and I feel like I payed too much.

Slow gameplay, abandoned by community, akward controls, dull and monotonous skills. Not a great buy, which is the problem with this pile of burning rubber and steel that may have one day been a train wreck, you have to buy it. For £15 you are getting a freemium model similar to League of Legends, which is my isn't how games should work. You pay money upfront and then have to pay extra to be able to play more than 6 characters, out of which the only differences between them are voices and appearances, something else designed to drain your wallet.

Avoid at all costs; recommended alternatives?

Dota 2
Smite
League of Legends
SMNK
Strife
Anything except Dead Island Epidemic (A game which stole this game's business plan)

There wasn't many players almost one year ago, even with Guardians of Middle-earth as part of some Humble Bundle, by today this game is truly empty. I don't think that playing a game made for multiplayer purpose with bots are fun, so it's just waste of time and money. There are great MOBA games that are Free to Play, without any problems with playerbase. Sadly, for a "Gandalf and company" MOBA game, this price is too much. I'm not sure what devs were thinking, but I know that they wasted a great idea.

wow, so I pay for this game and every chracter I try to select takes me to the store to buy DLC WTF. This doesnt even touch on the abismal controles ♥♥♥♥y visuals and autrotious AI, I would rather drice rusty nails through hands then ever attempt at playing this pile of ♥♥♥♥ again.

First, I would like to tell you all the GoME is a game that may be full of bugs and some glitches, and maybe ridiculously overpriced for being a MOBA. But GoME is a lot more then your simple everyday MOBA. I would like to make a list of the pros, and cons of GoME.
Pros:
Has a new creep wave system that allows you (once high enough level) to summon trolls, treants, spider warriors, knights on horses, orcs, and many more.
Has a new tower defence system. But first, imagine this: You just got fed a bunch of people, and you are the bigest tank on the game, and you feel like pushing some towers. You walk up to one, and start attacking it, the first hit does nothing. The second hit does minimal damage, the third hit does more damage, the fourth hit does lots of damage, and before you know it, you tower wipes you out. So in conclusion, the tower stops all heavy pushers from speeding through the game, making it impossible to push without your creeps with you. And plus, once you get high enough level, you can upgrade your tower to start shooting rocks, doing double attacks, and much more.
Has tons of heroes you can play from ALL the LOTRO series. (NOTE THIS NEXT SENTENCE!!!!) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE HEROES, THEY ARE ALL FREE, AND CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH HARD WORK WITH LEVELING UP!
Has incredible looking spells, moves, ulties. Exampels: Gothmog can summon a meteor shower. Gandalf can summon a gaint bird of light shooting light orbs. Lugbol summons a fire dragon and completely looks awesome. And much more.
Has many different looking maps to play on, that makes each and every match special.
Has cool looking nuetrals, (Stone Orgers, Witches, etc)
Has two really awesome looking bosses on each side of the map.
Once you kill a nuetral, it will give you (And mabe your allies depending on the nuetral) a special boost for a period of time.
Has a nice looking layout.
Has a awesome survival mode, where you and your friends pick your favorite guardian, (or villian) and fight off creatures in series of waves. (AWESOME!)
Has really good player models.
Has a awesome ending for when you destroy the enemy Ancient.

Cons:
Is really horribely optimized.
Lacks players.
Is really overpriced. (It would be better is it were 0-10 bucks)
Has buges and glitches.
Doesnt have active devs.

And there you have it, all the pros and cons of GoME. I really do suggest buying this on PC. But it is much better on the PS3 or Xbox, and you will have like no wait time to find players. But, if you dont have either, and like PC better, then either buy the game, get gifted, scam someone off it, or just trade it, then be sure to call me and I will be sure to play with you. (Not to mention, that people have already made a group for poeple to play with other people of GoME, allowing you to play a full match of humans.)

This was actually the worst game I've ever played in my life.

This game is pretty good, its overpriced its hard to find a match but its fun. You can upgrade creeps to goblin orc troll and the move animations is pretty good. I wish they would lower the price to at least $10 dollars. Try it play it and enjoy it!

Terrible, bad mouse support, gamepad support is not good either. The developers do not respond to any feedback or troubles and no patches have been made to fix the issues with mice. Do NOT buy.

No hardware cursor in a PC game. Cursor ALWAYS lags.
That in itself is enough to call this game garbage.
But of course, whenever such a blatant problem exists, you'll find a mountain of other issues as well.

A first-year CompSci student can develop a better functioning game alone than what the developers behind this piece of garbage ported to PC in an attempt at a quick cash grab. Disgusting.

A very bad moba .... not only are the graphics bad but the controls too . When you enter a teamfight you have no freakin idea how to escape because it's that buggy that your charechter stays and auto-attacks it's so money wasteful that they even want money for dlc's
and the only thing you get from them are skins if am right doesn't matter... Still this is a very bad game for pc it may be better on a console but it sucks and until it's fixed my money would have been for nothing and i am verry dissapointed from warner veyvery very much

♥♥♥♥ , glad i got it from a humble bundle ..... but still it's not even worth 5$ ..... the world would be better off without it , if you don't believe me .... waste some money on this piece of SH!T ..... i am a fan of LOTR but this seems that the producers just wanted money , not even a decent game for the fans

0/10
wow.

Neen :(

Never buy a game from Zombie Studios. How the hell can zombies develop a game ? They did the really infamous Daylight, Saw The Game, Blacklight Retribution, Blackwater, ... So what can you expect from those freaks ?

Dont buy this game, for any price. A MOBA which had hardly any players on its release and had more bugs than an anthill. and im guessing its got damn near 0 players now. terrible game and was a bigger dissapointment to me than the war z. DO NOT BUY.

This game sucks. It is dead and they still have the audacity to charge for it. It should be free or removed from steam. You can theoretically spend more than a hundred dollars on this game if you liked the looks of it before you found out that you had no one to play with but bots.

Literally the ONLY reason I got this game was because it came with a Humble Bundle. If you like MOBA games, just go grab DOTA or LoL for free instead of this atrocious game. It's bad enough that literally NO ONE plays any more.
