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

The gameplay is extrardinary, and, while tailored to iOS users, on par with the gameplay of MOBAs such as LoL or DOTA. The item builds are simplified, but that's a good thing- each item serves a rather obvious purpose, and so the large variety of items and combinations allow you to respond easily to any situation, without having to research much.

The community is also a large part of what shapes Vainglory. Not only is the MOBAFire dedicated Vainglory site, Vaingloryfire.com, an extreamly useful place for builds, but the forums are simply unparalleled in any other game I've played.
