The MOBA genre, famous for its strategic depth and dynamic team play, has found its way to mobile devices, offering several options that capture the spirit of League of Legends. Here are the top five mobile MOBAs that might just be the place for your desire for strategy and action. All at your fingertips.
5. Vanity
Vainglory, created by Super Evil Megacorp, was one of the pioneers in delivering a deep and immersive MOBA experience on mobile devices. Although its popularity has waned since its peak, it remains a great choice for genre enthusiasts. Vainglory is known for its intricate graphics and innovative gameplay mechanics, featuring a distinctive triangular map instead of the traditional three-lane structure. Although it moves at a slower pace compared to League of Legends, its emphasis on strategy and team coordination ensures that it continues to appeal to players who value tactical depth over fast-paced action.
4. Mobile League of Legends: Bang Bang
This was the first game of its kind that I played. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang was developed by Moonton and has built a huge player base thanks to its accessibility and quick matches. The game is designed to provide an experience that is easy to pick up but challenging to master, with gameplay sessions typically lasting between 10 and 15 minutes. While it does not have the same strategic depth as League of Legends, its simplicity and team-oriented gameplay make it an attractive choice for those looking for a less complex but still engaging experience.
3. Arena of courage
Developed by Tencent Games, Arena of Valor is the international version of Honor of Kings, tailored for a global audience. With a diverse selection of heroes and gameplay reminiscent of League of Legends, Arena of Valor delivers a balanced experience with similar maps and mechanics. Its international success is a testament to its ability to retain the essence of the genre and adapt to global preferences. The similarities in map design and gameplay mechanics make Arena of Valor a strong choice for fans of the genre.
2. Honor of kings
We recently tried it out and shared our impressions. Honor of Kings, also developed by Tencent Games, is a giant in the Chinese market, with a huge player base and a highly polished experience. The game features a variety of heroes inspired by Chinese mythology and history, offering a culturally rich and unique experience. Although Honor of Kings and Arena of Valor are versions of the same game, Honor of Kings stands out for its cultural focus and impressive graphical optimization. In fact, Honor of Kings has advanced considerably in terms of optimization and graphics, surpassing almost all of its competitors in these areas. The gameplay is solid and balanced, with a commitment from the developers to keep the game up-to-date and well-tuned, Honor of Kings has added more than 50 million new players since its global launch a month ago.
1. Wild Rift
It was only natural. For me, it remains at the top of the list. Only time will tell if it stays that way. Developed by Riot Games, Wild Rift takes first place as the best choice for League of Legends fans looking for an authentic mobile experience. This game is a mobile adaptation of League of Legends, specifically designed to provide a similar experience to the PC game, but optimized for touchscreen devices. Wild Rift retains the same gameplay, champions and strategies that League of Legends players know and love, but with shorter matches and a design tailored for mobile devices. If you want to carry the essence of League of Legends with you, Wild Rift is the ultimate choice.
