Vainglory App Review: iOS and Android

Before I start with my review, I’d like to let everyone know that Vainglory is also available now on Android.

I found out about Vainglory last year (2014), November. It was just recently released and it was on the featured games on the App Store. It was initially released exclusively for iOS only. I remember it even says, “Only on iOS.” I read the details of the app, the graphics was really nice. So I decided to download it. But I never had the chance to play it.

A few days ago, I was looking for a game that I can concentrate on. After looking around, I decided to concentrate on Vainglory. And I did not regret it.

Vainglory is a multiplayer online battle arena video game by Super Evil Megacorp for iOS and Android.

“Remember that MOBA shown off at the Apple’s iPhone 6 event? Well, it’s really good.” – IGN

The graphics of Vainglory is beyond perfection. Admit it or not, when you download a game, you don’t only want something that has nice gameplay, but also nice graphics. In fact, as of writing this post, it’s on “Apple Design Award Winners” on the App Store. It’s also on “15 Most Beautiful Games.”

“Most gamers will tell you that gameplay is king, but graphics will be second on their list (if it isn’t secretly first).” – Apple App Store.

Outplay real opponents in this deep, uncompromising real-time MOBA. Fight with lightning-fast controls using powerful heroes. Destroy the enemy Vain crystal and claim glory! Watch the preview video now to see real gameplay of 3-vs-3 multiplayer battles. (Yeah, it really looks like the screenshots.)

“We’ve been waiting for a game like Vainglory to come along on touch screens. It’s not just the best touch screen MOBA out there; it’s a completely legit core game in its own right. Once you play it, you’ll understand why we got excited about it!” —MOBAFire CEO M. Scott Reinders

“Immersing you in a colorful and beautifully realized world, Vainglory gives you fast-paced and intense 20-minute matches on the go. Pick a hero and duke it out with unique abilities played with intuitive precision controls.” —Curse.com

5/5 “Amazing – The graphics are unbelievable and the games so fun.”

5/5 “Best MOBA, Must Have – Just try, you won’t regret it 🙂 ”

– Vainglory Description in the App Store

Aside from the really nice graphics and gameplay, the responsiveness of the game was really great too!

So if you are a fan of DOTA or any other MOBA games, then I’m sure you’ll love Vainglory.

Vainglory is probably the next Clash of Clans.

The Lifestyle Avenue highly recommends Vainglory!
