Heroes of the Storm on Linux

This time I’ll write about how to run the game Heroes of The Storm of Blizzard on a Linux PC .

This game is very entertaining because it brings together all the heroes of the blizzard games of the last 20 years.

So you can use characters like Kerrigan, Thrall or the Devil and so on to destroy the enemy towers and defend your own.

As you play the video game, you accumulate coins, which can be used to buy new heroes, mounts or skins for the heroes you already have.

Also, if you wish, you can use your credit card to buy with real money.
