Arena of Valor 12+

Mobile MOBA: Best In Class

I’ve dabbled in a few MOBAs on PC, and love the concept, but the community was awful, and the time commitment was unaffordable. Fast forward about six years, and I almost exclusively play video games on the phone these days (after kids are in bed). Arena of Valor combines a strong pedigree (produced by the owners of League of Legends), with a well-balanced community encouragement system, with great frame rates and visuals, mixed with a really nice tutorial that opens up the whole system for you over several days, mixed with joystick based controls that feel right at home on the phone. Oh, and disregard all the negative reviews about balance issues: This game has been out for *years* in China, so trust that those kinks have been smoothed out long ago—no offense to those reviewers but skilled players will win over unskilled players, all heroes have distinct strengths and weaknesses. I’ve played this longer than any multiplayer (video) game to date, to include my Counterstrike days. If you’re new to the concept of what a MOBA is or why you should play (you should), this is *the* one you want. And lastly, you don’t need to pay a cent to play with about a dozen different heroes and unlimited play time. You’ll be matched with players of equal skill regardless. This is a solidly constructed app that takes a serious competitive game and makes it accessible and fun to play at nearly any time. Have fun with this one! Most Recommended!

Hi there Joe, thanks for the positive words! It's always heartening to see seasoned players like yourself taking to the game so quickly. As AoV is mainly focused on bringing the best MOBA experience possible to players, we're also really glad to hear that being able to sit down with your phone to get in some matches is working out for you as well. If you have any questions about the game, or have feedback on how you feel it could be even better, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We're always more than happy to listen to what our players think after all! - Phil

Potential

The overall game has potential but there are a few problems like being matched with over powered heroes and teams. You get destroyed in the game. The game is also too technical in the sense that you have to choose a bunch of different setting and it makes the game complicated. Some choosing is ok but having to set up so much is crazy. The interface is complicated and sometime you cant remember what to click to get to where u need to. Their is lag and delays but not all the time. The game has a huge selection of heroes but it take long time to ramp them up. You cannot play rank 5 vs 5 until you complete a few games on rank 1 player then ranked 3 vs 3 which is just idiotic. If you have an old account but don't want to link to Facebook then you are screwed because you will lose your game if you have to reinstall for any reason. This game does have potential because the graphics are excellent and the game is fun once you get passed all the things mentioned above. I will try LOA (legends of ace) and see if it is any better. Just keep in mind it is a good game but need work but i figure it is new compared to Mobile legends buy at least there is no hacks in this game just delays and a bit of lag.

Fun Game

This game is definitely enjoyable, but I’m not sure I see too much skill involved as far as controls. I’ve only been playing for a few weeks, but so far, it seems as though gameplay just consists of spam buttons. It is extremely difficult to overcome an enemy that has had a better start than you, which gets frustrating sometimes. As a long time Vainglory player, the action spamming in this game is quite enjoyable for a change, but once you’ve played for a few days, there isn’t too much strategy and skill involved, unlike Vainglory. Once you understand your heroes abilities, and the fun of spamming the “attack” button with Valhein starts to wear off, the game starts to lose some fun. Also, in the rare occasion that both teams are pretty equal, late game is a little annoying. Both teams just bunch up in middle lane and try to push, which takes forever, and I feel like the game doesn’t move forward. I mean, both teams can just keep killing each other forever, so I feel like this game is in need of something like the “kraken from Vainglory”. Although it does have the dragons, they do not really change the flow of the game as much as I would hope. However, I love the colorful roster of heroes and the 5v5 action. Overall, I feel as though this game is only really fun on the winning team, but has great potential with the wonderful heroes, so far so good community, and well known developer. Hope this helps thanks!
