    Vainglory is the crowning achievement for iOS. 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 researchVainglory is the crowning achievement for iOS.

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 graphics, too, are phenomenal- the best I've ever seen on an iPad. Vainglory goes above and beyond to use the newest technology (Metal) to enhance the visual effects. 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. The community is extreamly welcoming, but beyond that, the developers are very active,moron answering questions and explaining the meta to taking input and considering new ideas. All in all, Vainglory is one of the crucial games in the battle to decide whether iOS can really become a gaming platform, and it says a resounding yes.… 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

    Signed up just to review this game. It's brilliant. This is the first mobile game that has pulled me away from consoles and held my attention. It takes some time to learn, but it's deep, enjoyable, and addictive. In the words of Homer Simpson, 10 thumbs up.

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

    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.
