The last thread (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,17468.0.html) died off, so I'll make a new one. A LOT has improved since 2014, and the game is being actively developed.
- Free (a mod for Dota 2, which is free)
- While not perfect, the game is fairly stable now. As long as players don't actively try to trigger some well-known bugs, most matches are bug-free.
- No hosting necessary. DotS 2 now plays on official Valve servers!
- Enough active players to find matches almost everyday. This may depend on region, however. Southeast Asia and China are the most active.
- Fully voiced characters
Warnings
- English tooltips are still incomplete and outdated. Refer to wikis and/or ask around for information.
- Very steep learning curve. While some may welcome challenge, be aware that beginners will be overwhelmed. Find veteran players who can guide you.
Once you know some basics, the game is very fun with the right people. Try if you like ARTS/MOBA genre!

Really good it's this mod is actively developed again; I casually read about Defense of Shrine mod a while ago but the project seemed to be dead.
I'll give it try.
