Vainglory is a team-based, real-time MOBA where players choose heroes and fight alongside teammates against another team. It offers short Brawl matches as well as larger arena battles, with play against bots or live players.
During matches, teams contest map objectives, defeat enemy waves, control vision through Fog of War, and use last-hitting and wave control to gain an advantage. Heroes fill different roles, such as high-damage carry, jungler, or front-line captain.
The game features more than 48 heroes with distinct abilities and playstyles. Players can shape heroes through build paths, ability overdrives, and active items; accurate stutter-step attacks can also build attack speed through the adrenaline system. Skins can be unlocked through play.
Many supplied reviews express affection and nostalgia for Vainglory, especially for its 3v3 matches, memorable hero designs, and time spent playing with friends. Some also praise its shorter matches and combat that combines quick reactions with strategic decisions. Disappointment about the game's abandonment and changes associated with 5v5 appears repeatedly as well.
