About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic crossover that will shake the foundations of the multiverse! In BANG!: Heroes of the Storm, you no longer have to choose between heroes from Warcraft, Diablo, or StarCraft – they all meet in the arena for a breathtaking battle. It's the supercharged version of the famous BANG! card game, but with a 'who will make it out alive?' twist. Each player assumes a secret role, trying to complete their mission while figuring out who's on their side and who wants to send you to oblivion. You'll need to manage your cards wisely, use your unique abilities, and, of course, pull off some good old bluffing to deceive everyone. The objective is simple: survive and eliminate your enemies, but with so many iconic characters in play, confusion and fun are guaranteed. It's the kind of game that makes you shout with joy or despair, depending on whether you're the target or the shooter. Perfect for those who enjoy a good dose of strategy mixed with betrayal and unexpected twists, all wrapped in a theme that will please long-time fans of the Blizzard universes. Just don't forget: in the end, only one can emerge victorious (or a team, depending on the scenario!).
