Defense of the Ancients (known by its initials as DotA) is a custom scenario for the game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, created with the map editor based on Warcraft III and StarCraft scenario "Aeon of Strife". The map is played in two teams, and the objective is to destroy the Ancient of the opponent. The ancients are heavily guarded structures located in opposite corners of the map. The players control powerful units known as "heroes" who are helped by units controlled by artificial intelligence called "creeps". As an RPG, the heroes gain experience points to increase their skills and use gold to buy equipment and useful items for the mission.

In a game of Defense of the Ancients there is always exactly two teams of players: The Sentinel and the Scourge. The Sentinels team has its starting point in the lower left corner of the map, while the Scourge has its own in the upper right corner. Each base is defended by structures called "towers" and waves of units that travel three routes linking the two bases: one central and two lateral. At the bottom of each base is the "Ancient" of each team, a building must be destroyed to win the game.

Each human player controls a hero, a powerful unit with unique abilities. In Allstars there is a lot of different heroes (104 in version 6.72), each with different abilities and tactical advantages over others. The game requires a lot of teamwork, it is difficult for one player leads his team to victory by itself. The game play allows teams of up to 5 persons.

Because the game focuses on the strengthening of a hero, does not require the player to focus on building a base, as in most traditional strategy games. By eliminating an enemy unit, the player gains experience points. When sufficient experience, the hero gains a level, making it stronger and more resilient, allowing you to improve their special skills. In addition to gaining experience, the player gets a monetary remedy to eliminate enemies gold. Players can use their gold available for objects that will strengthen their hero and give new additional skills. Some of these objects can be combined with others to form new more powerful devices. The purchase and handling of objects is a fundamental part of a game of DotA.

DotA Allstars has a wide variety of game modes that can be selected at the beginning of the game. These modes alter the game several factors, such as the difficulty of the game, and the random selection of heroes, among others. Some modes are mutually exclusive, so do not be active at the same time, while it is possible to combine some other.
