LOAD is a miniature game of epic clashing action! In LOAD, players take control of mighty group of heroes separated in 2 teams, clashing in head-to-head fights, all in an attempt to wreak enough havoc on their opponent’s base and force them to surrender! Your army ranges from lowly creeps to powerful heroes, each with their own roles to fulfill. It is up to you to use their unique skills and abilities to best your foes on the open field.
