    VainGlory is the best mobile Moba game out on the market! I have been following these people for so long. It has so much potential. The graphics are beautiful and well animated. Devs do listen to their players! You'll never be disappointed! If your a Moba player and new to mobile Mobas.. don't be afraid, please I highly recommend this game!

    Hands down, this is one of the best mobile games. A must download for any MOBA fan. 5 star graphics, controls and gameplay. Got problems or questions? The community will help you right away. Feel something is missing, overpowered or underpowered? The Devs are listening and will make the changes.

    I never liked MOBAs to begin with, but the day I played Vainglory, I was hooked. Every little detail worked for me with this game : The very intricate scenery, easy to learn controls, and also the battle mechanisms.

I actually played this game when it was just in beta and it keeps crashing so I just uninstalled it to only see the game once again on the App Store but renamed to Vainglory instead of Kimdred Asunder. I was hesitant to play it again but I tried it, thinking that it would crash but no, it didn't! This had made so much progress that it just feels unbelievable and all the heroes are well balanced unlike some other mobas where there will always be that one character who will kill you in a blink of an eye. To end it off, I have to say that this game is the best game I have ever played! Good job Super Evil MegaCorp!!… Expand

    Vainglory is what mobile gaming greatly needed, a console quality game that reaches out to both casual and core gamers alike.

The Developer team too is unlike any other dev team I have seen, they listen closely to player feedback and actively participates in the forums and other media like Facebook, LINE and even Twitch where they run weekly streams and gives away prizes. As far as the game is concerned, it had me hooked from early April itself during the beta testing days. The game has grown phenomenally since then due to the outstanding work by the dev team who prioritized the bugs and issues well and fixed them swiftly. This is a game that no one should miss out on if they own an iPad or iPhone 5s,6,6+. Cheers to SEMC!… Expand

The heroes or playable characters are all great and balanced and if there is any problem with them the developers might patch or nerf them given your judgement on the hero is true. The heroes are also true to their setting which is the Halycon Fold and it doesn't go over the line by adding insanely distant from the setting heroes as this game is set in a sort of futuristic setting with a bit of mysticism added to it. If you haven't played this game yet head on now to the app store and give it a try!… Expand

    This game is simple but surprisingly deep tactically and strategy-wise. It is beautiful to look at and gameplay is smooth and superb fun. Believe the good reviews, this is iphone free-to-play gaming done right. The developers care about their product and are off to a very, very good start.

In a 3v3 match to loose one player is a big hit. I feel there should at least be a bot to fill in the gap instead of a dead wait in the home arena. Im sure this is being thought about by all the amazing staff at Super Evil Megacorp already. Keep it up. Download for sure!… Expand

    I am playing this game for almost a week now and I could say that I am somehow addicted to this game because it is similar to the MOBA I am playing on PC which is League of Legends. The graphics is nice as my iPad 2 can play it without any problem, the sfx and bgm are fine too. I suggest that keep releasing heroes every now and then so that players can have vast amount of heroes to chooseI am playing this game for almost a week now and I could say that I am somehow addicted to this game because it is similar to the MOBA I am playing on PC which is League of Legends. The graphics is nice as my iPad 2 can play it without any problem, the sfx and bgm are fine too. I suggest that keep releasing heroes every now and then so that players can have vast amount of heroes to choose from . 3v3 is ideal for mobile MOBA game as 5v5 would take a lot of time in a game and the device may encounter compatibility problem because of performance demand.

    Now, for the downside of this game. Many may already have said this, the game lacks in-game communication features, the 3 types of pings in the game is not enough and sometimes it just mislead other players. I know adding a chat feature wouldn't be enough so I would suggest adding a chat macro so it would at least allow us to convey messages faster and clearer. the chat macro is like a preset texts that we can see beside the screen (like the chat bars in most played moba games),Chat macro is not for typing in-game but instead we can customize it when we're off-game or in the main menu or in the party chat).

    Other downside of this game that I noticed is the auto-attack function. On one game I used Ringo and I know the radius of his attack range but there is this time that when I'm chasing an enemy hero and Ringo's attack keeps getting canceled whenever the enemy got out of ringo's attack range even though when the attack animation is casted while the enemy is in his range. I am very disappointed whenever this happens. You know, the feeling when your hero can attack it because it's in his/her range but because while your hero is winding up his attack, your enemy is out of your range anymore and your hero suddenly stops his attack and just chase it till it flee.

    I will give this a perfect score once I find a relevant update about this review. Thanks Super Evil Megacorp for making this game; Vainglory.

There's a wide community of people as well who are very welcoming with the help of the admins that are amazing on the page, thus the Vainglory community is one of the best and the most welcoming ever with how the devs are constantly checking with the users/players and communicating with us! :)… Expand

    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.
