The game is a multi player Progressive battle arena. The key aspects are fast entertaining battles.
Patrols work similar to minions in DOTA, but in this case they are more mobile since defensive structures are build by players and the game does not have a pre-set defensive structure. They can defend or attack, based on their position, if they are near base will defend if near opponent base will attack. They control the flow of attack defensive and take more time to spawn then in a DOTA based game.
