Five Dota characters are the combatants, each with a full moveset and alternate costumes. Sleet Fighter supports both single-player and multiplayer matches, the latter both locally and online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s rather impressive for what could have been left as a one-off, minigame curiosity. <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/but-valve-im-dead-why-cant-my-family-play-the-steam-games-i-have-bought\/\">Valve<\/a> developers made no mention of Sleet Fighter when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dota2.com\/newsentry\/4238531900078333321\">they announced Crownfall Act III<\/a> at the end of June, making this almost an Easter egg except for the fact it\u2019s so fully developed. In fact, one has to wonder why they\u2019d spend all this time on it, only to take it back once Crownfall ends in October. Or, maybe they won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong>How to find and play Sleet Fighter in Dota 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">To play Sleet Fighter, players should head to The Frosts of Icewrack (hence the fighting game\u2019s namesake) and complete the first story tile on the Overworld map. That opens the Sleet FIghter 2: Immortal Combat tile, which takes you into the Severed Head pub where the game awaits. That\u2019s all you have to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here\u2019s a YouTube video showing all of that start-to-finish, with another six minutes of pure gameplay.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"Dota 2 : sleet fighter 2  Immortal Combat\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WXDQmbZ-EUs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The five heroes players may choose for Sleet Fighter include Tusk, Bristleback, Shendelzare, Dawnbreaker, and Marci.
