- bruizar 11y agoHi Bribri, I wrote this article a year ago and I decided to submit it because the take aways are still very relevant today. When I wrote the article, Vainglory wasn't released yet. I've played a fair amount of Vainglory and they did indeed crack the code for a mobile MOBA. The Halcyon Fold map from Vainglory is a derivative of Twisted Treeline which offers enough strategic depth to be played at the competitive level, unlike Zynga's Solstice Arena. This, and the fluidity of the game sets it apart from the others imo. I still believe Super Evil Megacorp would have been better served with a more tongue-in-cheek visual style / IP if they want to address the entirety of the iPad install-base. This would have lowered the entry barrier for those who do not particularly enjoy the high fantasy style and would allow them to piggy-back off of successful mobile predecessors such as Rovio's Angry Birds and Halfbrick's Fruit Ninja by means of profit sharing on guest appearances. I'm very optimistic about Vainglory's future.
