This mobile MOBA won me over with two aspects: substantial damage inflicted by characters and strong emphasis on tactical approach. [10/2015, p.76]

One fun MOBA game that takes advantage of the touch controls, despite it needing a big screen to be fully enjoyed. 3 on 3 matches are plenty of fun.

The game could benefit greatly from better in-game communication, but as it stands, Vainglory shows it is not only possible to make a MOBA game perfected for touch screens, but that it can be astoundingly fun to play.

I played this game on a tablet for a long time, the graphics at the time of 2014 were gorgeous, but I was missing something, so after a couple of weeks I abandoned the game, but this was probably one of the first games in the moba genre, so as a pioneer of the genre, the game is more than normal.

The best moba across all **** cons, just pros. Don´t waste your time reading this text and go for it.

An absolute masterpiece **** that has only gotten better as time passes. You wouldn't think a game with such high quality of graphics and gameplay would be available on phone/tablet, but Vainglory shows otherwise. The game oozes polish and boasts an amazing gameplay experience that can only be experienced through touch controls. I have minor nitpicks with the game such as somewhat greedy marketing and a lack of variety in events and game modes, but in app-purchases are purely cosmetic and I have the utmost confidence that the developers (which happen to have an amazingly generous and helpful support desk) will continue to improve the game as time passes. Overall, this is the best Moba experience you'll find on it's platform. I highly recommend giving it a go and you won't be disappointed.

Vainglory is not just one of the best good looking games, but one with the finest gameplay. MOBA never feels so right on mobile platform. Until now.

Visually stunning, especially if you have one of the latest Apple devices, Vainglory is probably the best MOBA available right now on the App Store.

Vainglory proofs that a MOBA belongs on a mobile platform as well as on PC. The game offers a very well designed environment with a solid multiplayer experience. It is a pity there is not a lot of characters in this game. But we do like the fact that it is very suitable for newbies.

If Vainglory is missing anything, it’s probably some kind of overall system of progression, one that rewards the truly dedicated by allowng them to customize their builds a little more.

A rich and compelling distillation of MOBA for mobiles, but presents a very steep and jagged face to new players.

What can i say? I never took touchpad games as a serious platform until I started playing Vainglory. Now I not only think they are viable but also hold the key to bringing high quality games to everyone out there. I've been playing Vainglory through most of its development and as a result am part of a vibrant friendly gaming community, the thing which really gets me is that the people in this community aren't just hardcore gamers but people from all walks of life, young and old. I've never known a game to have such an impact as this. The future is bright for Vainglory, of that I have no doubt.

This game has it all: graphics, skills, heroes, rewards, community. Plus, playing a MOBA on mobile has never felt so fun! It has great mechanics and you will always expect new stuff like heroes or skins.

good moba game, unfortunately I've never seen such match making system ever really. I'm at max karma level and yet still come across lots of afk players. On top of that you are match against pre-made teams! You have no chance of winning it when you have feeders, afk players and yet there's no way to block them so that you will never end up with same players in the group again! To fix all these problems, I've been advice to group up with other players from same region, really!

this game might not be that bad, but sitting the farthest away from your router results in a bad connection. I didn't even get past the tutorial because of the incredible lag that came, since the latency in other apps is still great when sitting so 'far' away from your router. The game has like 15 characters to choose from, but i don't want to play a game where my latency is beyond playable. I find it as a poor mans version of League of Legends or DOTA, which both offer greater experiences.
SummaryOutplay real opponents in this deep, uncompromising real-time MOBA.
