in vainglory •  7 years ago 



Hello Guys..! Back again with me @nauvalmhd, this time I want to explain about "Vainglory" game, this game is same as game Dota 2 that exist in PC. only this game can only be played on ANDROID and iOS smartphones. And why I want to explain about Vainglory game this time, because few times that explain this Vainglory game in steemit.

One year after Billion reviewing Vainglory in Beta stage, the online multiplayer battle arena game or abbreviated (MOBA) has undergone many developments and additional content. Super Evil Megacorp has even expanded the platform with the release of Android version recently.



To celebrate the moment, I will review Vainglory in full version so that you can get an overview of the game that is staying MOBA in the mobile platform. What is interesting about the game I ever crowned to be one of the most favorite games on Smartphone in 2014. please you guys for more.

MOBA is similar to its predecessors



I think MOBA fans will immediately feel familiar with Vainglory gameplay. Like similar games on PC like Dota 2 or League of Legends, Vainglory also carries a PvP battle with the objective of destroying a building called Vain Crystal at the opposing team headquarters. Achieving these objectives successfully is not easy, because many things will hinder your efforts. 

You will act as a hero in a team of three. Each person will control a hero who is shoulder to shoulder against the opposing team. Each hero has different skills and characteristics, so it takes strategy and coordination to be able to effectively accomplish the objectives. Not only the opposing team, you will also face various obstacles that confront you to destroy Vain Crystal. Obstacles that exist include Minion warriors and turrets. Fortunately, you can buy various items that can make your strength multiply and patch up the weaknesses that exist.

Brilliant Adaptation for Mobile Platform


Despite having a more or less the same background, Vainglory is not just a MOBA that moves the gameplay from PC to mobile. Super Evil Megacorp makes various adjustments that make Vainglory feel comfortable when played on a touch screen device.

Various simplifications have been made to the developers Vainglory, ranging from control schemes in the game to the maximum level that can be achieved by a hero. Of all the adjustments, there are at least three basic things that distinguish Vainglory with similar games on PC.


The first thing that is immediately visible is the area of the battle arena. Vainglory uses an area consisting of only one main line or commonly called lane in (MOBA) and a broader jungle arena beneath the lane, This amount is different from similar games on PC which on average use three ways to fight.

The second difference is the number of active skills which only amounted to three. Each hero has two basic skills and one Ultimate skill to inflict damage on the enemy. Although not as much as MOBA on PC, the three skills are enough to provide a tactical battle action that exciting without complicating the gameplay and display the game interface.


The third different thing is the duration of a fight. If a single MOBA battle session on PC can take up to an hour, then Vainglory trims it to about half an hour. The average length of the game can be achieved thanks to the maximum level of characters who stuck at level 12 and the area that is not how big.

Despite the various differences and simplifications as described above, Vainglory remains exciting and challenging. Every battle feels dynamic depends on the decisions of the players so there will not be two matches in common. The scheme actually feels more fitting to be played on tablets and smartphones are usually played not for PC or console.

Responsive Controls on Touch Devices



Designed for today's mobile devices, Vainglory relies on touch input to control everything in the game. You can tap across the screen for various commands in the game, from moving the hero, using skills, to interacting with other players. Super Evil Megacorp has designed a convenient interface to touch all the features available. All presented options are well organized and easy to reach during the game. Players only need to tap to access the features in question.

In addition, the touch sensitivity with game response is also intertwined in light. This is crucial in a MOBA game, where every player can do multiple inputs in a fraction of a second to respond to the movements of the opposing team.

Charming Graphics Acknowledged by Apple


Vainglory is one of the pioneer game that uses developer of Metal kit made by Apple. The kit allows developers to bring sharp graphical detail without sacrificing game performance, and that's what Super Evil Megacorp does.

The look of hero, environment, and visual effects that you can see during the game look alive and dynamic. Animation and world movement Halcyon Fold where the fight took place also looks smooth and sharp, Such captivating graphics are recognized by Apple directly gave Super Evil Megacorp the opportunity to show off Vainglory at the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and awarded the Apple Design Award in 2015.

Everything Can be Played for free




Super Evil Megacorp follows a free-to-play monetization scheme that is also used by Dota 2 as well as League of Legends. However, Vainglory does not display ads or use a stamina system that forces players to wait for a while. Each hero has its own price to be accessible. However, the developers give a group of heroes that can be accessed for free. Groups of heroes who get free access are also rotated regularly every week, so you'll have the chance to play all the heroes when playing Vainglory regularly.

In addition, each player can also buy additional skins from each hero. The skin is completely cosmetic and only changes the look of the hero in the battlefield. Changing the skin will not change the power of the played hero.

To be able to enjoy the paid features, players can redeem IAP to buy currency in the game. The IAP is entirely optional, so players who do not have an ICE currency can enjoy the whole game. Players can also collect Glory points to make up for all the paid features, albeit with much more.

Groups of heroes who get free access are also rotated regularly every week, so you'll have the chance to play all the heroes when playing Vainglory regularly.

Dependency of Internet Connection


As a MOBA game, Vainglory requires a responsive and stable internet connection to be enjoyed without any problems. The recommended connections are those that have a ping speed below 200 milisecond or one fifth of a second. Playing Vainglory with a connection longer than recommended will make the game experience lag.

In addition, Vainglory also has no local multiplayer features. While you and your friends are playing Vainglory together in one local Wi-Fi network, each of you must connect to Super Evil Megacorp server via the internet.

It Will Continue to Grow


Super Evil Megacorp routinely updates Vainglory. There's always something new in every update given, from the presence of new features to additional content. At the time this article was created, Vainglory has received version 1.6 update which features queue battle feature according to player level and addition of new hero named Rona the Berserker. Of course, the update process will continue in the future which will bring various heroes and other additional features. In addition, developers themselves claim to still have a myriad of ideas that want to be implemented into the game to pamper the players. It seems that the future of Vainglory is still heading in a brighter direction.
