With the release of Crownfall Act 3 in Dota 2, Valve has introduced a mini-fighting game called Sleet Fighter II: Immortal Combat. This game lets you battle some of the heroes from the Dota 2 universe. With five characters to choose from, native controller support, a surprisingly deep moves list, and a solid, if slightly quick, story/arcade mode, it’s a fun addition to the update.
About Sleet Fighter II: Immortal Combat
Sleet Fighter II is a parody of classic fighting games like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat. It might also be a follow-up to the 2013 lost media game Street Dota 2, a fighting game made in the Dota engine.

Configuring Controller for Sleet Fighter II in Dota 2
Your controller should automatically work with Sleet Fighter II, but you may need to configure it manually. Ensure your base control setup for Dota 2 is based on the “Arrows” preset, which is the default control setup. Changing this allows the controller to map the space bar as A and Alt as B on an Xbox controller.
Story Mode Guide
Sleet Fighter II offers five random potential tokens to unlock, plus a Pixel Tusk showcase decoration. To unlock these, you need to beat the story mode with enough points. Points are earned by winning and using “Style.”
To gain more “Style” points:
- Counter moves;
- Use special attacks;
- Perform combos;
- Perfect your opponent.
Just beating all opponents will net you around 30,000-32,000 points, but you’ll need stylish victories to unlock all tokens. We found the easiest way to do this was with Marci, whose “Unleashed” form offers additional attacks that yield more style points.
