"Gaming memories never fade. Veterans retired but memory stays forever. Introducing Dota 2 Card Battle. Same heroes, mobile strategy experience."

Project Overview
People across the globe have felt the magic of this game. Millions of active users still remain hooked on this masterful 5v5 battle arena even today. Unfortunately, some veteran gamers now choose not to engage in the game, not because of growing up but because of the many responsibilities and shifting commitments brought about by life. Yet I am sure that somehow, along with their recruitment, these distinguished gamers do have pockets of reminiscences about awesome battles, tactical conquests, and hundreds of hours spent honing their craft. Most importantly, however, their gaming instincts and muscle memory remain caught inside them, raring to be unleashed once again.
Today, I represented you my initiative project: Dota 2 Trading Card Game. Totally same heroes, abilities, and much more things that maybe you have remembered from the game. With simple card battle mechanics that you can enjoy to play on your mobile phones without spending hours of time.

In-depth Details
I use familiar characters and mechanics for design all the aspect. Starting from card design and mechanics, adapting a competitive-like gameplay across players all over the world with easy-to-access gameplay. For this project, I borrowed most of the assets from the original game and created a card concept based on the original lore.



Summary
I'm pretty happy with my design project because I created a mobile TCG game that's a hit with DOTA2 players and the broader TCG community. I designed an intuitive interface that feels authentic to DOTA2 while being accessible to new players, using my gaming experience. I solved complex layout challenges and included engaging features like customization and shop options. The responsive design works across mobile, PC, and Steam Deck platforms, showing how I can effectively connect different player communities.
