GTM:
"You might not think that MOBAs are ‘your thing’ and perhaps a mobile one like Vainglory won’t change your mind. But there’s something about this little game that had us starting rounds over and over, continuing to improve on our previous performances.
The title is, at its core, a 3v3 battle arena title, in which you pick a hero, pair up with random strangers online and battle it out for control of a small battlefield. If you’ve played titles like Dota 2 or Smite, you’ll know what to expect – but where Vainglory differs is the level design. Unlike Dota 2, for example, there is only one ‘lane’ across the top of the map through which your small teams of minions will run. These weak, swarming minions help keep enemies distracted while you support them with stronger attacks."
From Xfire: "MOBAs might not have gotten their start on mobile platforms, but it's clear that the genre was built to be played on the go.
The ability to go in for a quick match whenever and wherever is what has led to the numerous mobile MOBA games that are currently out on the market today. But, because there are so many to choose from, newcomers to the genre might not know which one to play and why a particular game is worth playing."
A new agreement announced today will see the popular mobile MOBA Vainglory switch publishers from Super Evil Mega Corp to Rogue Games.
The *ahem* arena of multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games is getting stronger as time goes on, much like the games’ heroes. What started as mods of Blizzard’s popular Warcraft and Starcraft RTS franchises became an international sensation on the backs of two specific games: Defense of the Ancients and League of Legends. The genre, now 20 years old, is aging like a fine wine artistically. New entrants are coming up with innovative gameplay options, storylines, and heroes to create some great experiences. But for those looking for their fix on Android, here are the 10 most hardcore Android MOBAs on the planet.
