As such,Hearthstone’s current single player content series, the Book Of Heroes, is a particular treat. Every month, starting from last month, the BoH unlocks a new series of eight linked boss fights, where you take on the role of one of Hearthstone’s ten emblematic class heroes, and fight through the landmark moments of their pretend careers. In a strange departure from Hearthstone’s usual tongue-in-cheek, saturday-morning-cartoon energy, these stories are played straight, with proper melodrama and everything, and it works surprisingly well.

The series began last month with Jaina, the improbably-boobed lady representing Hearthstone’s Mage class, and chronicled her rise from a seemingly ordinary human being to a scrunched up mess of frost magic and abdominal muscles. This month, however, it’s time to jump into the story of Rexxar, the poster brute for Hearthstone’s hunter class, and my personal favourite of the lot. Perhaps because of his peculiar batman hat, which appears to be made from a hollowed out wolf, or perhaps because of his sentimental affection for horrid monsters, I’ve always had a lot of time for this socially awkward beastmaster, and it was nice to see him in the limelight for a change.

Anyway, it’s great fun, particularly for something that’s completely free, and you even get a pack of cards for completing it, plus a further three as a quest reward if you play it this week. As ever, Blizz have shown a lot of creativity with the mechanics of the boss encounters, too. My favourite was the one where Rexxar tames his best mate, a giant bear called Misha.
Bless Rexxar. Blexxar.
