17-minute video of Blizzard's MOBA Heroes of the Storm

Oh how Thralling.

Just how good will Blizzard's multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game Heroes of the Storm be?

Here's 17 minutes of videoed gameplay to help you decide, narrated by none other than game director Dustin Browder, and what a name that is.

The map being played is Dragon Shire (careful - the 't' key is very close), which features controllable shrines that turn you into a powerful Dragon Knight if captured at the right time.

Heroes of the Storm is in alpha.
