Still the game is fun to play and in fact it runs smoother than the other games (well, except Vainglory). The inclusion of the four DC characters definitely sets AoV apart, with being the only company who’s able to bring a DC character to a MOBA game since the death of the DC MOBA game, Infinite Crisis.Īrena of Valor with all its bells and whistles and its DC partnership is just another free-to-play MOBA game that doesn’t veer away from the tried and tested. With that said though, this further emphasizes the importance of the DC partnership with AoV. While of course compared to Vainglory, there’s no comparison, since for me, that game already set the standard in terms of visuals and animation. The only difference AoV has is the animation and transitions are smoother compared to the other two. The overall feel of the interface, the character choices and the overall visuals are reminiscent of Mobile Legends Bang Bang and Heroes Evolved. The inclusion of the DC heroes doesn’t really add much to the experience, since they are practically just like the other heroes the game provides.Īmong the major mobile MOBAs right now (Vainglory, Heroes Evolved, and Mobile Legends Bang Bang) Arena of Valor has the same feel as all of them. AoV on the other hand has their partnership with DC by bringing in the Justice League’s Trinity (Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman) and the Joker. Vainglory has their own set of unique heroes while Heroes Evolved has their set of IP based heroes. With the gameplay system already set in stone, MOBAs fight for their exclusive hero and content. I personally have no problem with that because it allows veteran MOBA players that sense of familiarity when they’re trying out the game for the first time. Of course, some of the heroes in AoV are deadringers from the more established MOBA heroes. In fact, I’d like to bring over some of AoV’s heroes to LoL or Dota 2. The hero choice is surprisingly diverse and I like that Arena of Valor mixes hero classes you wouldn’t see much in MOBA games. using one of the 37 heroes (give or take depending on the region you’re playing). You have the generic classes of mages, tanks, supports, archers, and etc. Arena of Valor currently has around 37 heroes at least on my server (other servers have more). Arena of Valor wonderfully ports into the mobile platform the MOBA experience, rather, the League of Legends feel because of the gameplay elements that are familiar from League are found in AoV. Since the game plays just like any other MOBA game on the PC. However, what AoV doesn’t bring in innovation, it brings in familiarity. If you’re someone who’s been playing tons of MOBA games and looking for something refreshing, then AoV won’t scratch that itch. Timi Studio Group didn’t change the wheel with Arena of Valor with the game basically taking in core gameplay elements already found in League. Meanwhile, the smaller 3v3 maps also follow the linear map design where you have the jungle weirdly placed on the top of the lane while the main path contains.Īrena of Valor also adopts two of League’s defining features (well until patch 7.22) which is the Arana and Talent system, which are changed from the Runes and Summoner Spells system in League. Also, aside from the lanes which people from your team need to go through before you can destroy the enemy base, you can also opt to level up through the jungle that the game has. This means that the bigger 5v5 maps would have three pre-determined paths that you can take. The maps in Arena of Valor follows the usual map design found in other MOBA titles. Sprawling 5v5 and 3v3 matches, where your goal is to take down the opposing team’s base, while going through the gauntlet of lanes and map side-areas filled with monster mobs and turrets. Now, we have Tencent Games (and Garena at least in my part of the world) bringing their own spin to the genre with Arena of Valor.ĭeveloped by Timi Studio Group, the company who’s responsible for other titles such as Hill Racing: Mountain Climber, Counter-Terror: Sniper’s Fight, and Panda Run – Jungle Adventure, Arena of Valor has all the strappings of what you can expect in a MOBA game. The genre has slowly and steadily gained popularity with more mobile MOBAs coming out left and right. Ever since then I’ve been testing out every new mobile MOBA game that came out. A few years down the line, I was pleasantly surprised with my experience with one of the first ever mobile MOBA titles, Vainglory. Before I jumped into the mobile MOBA genre, I never thought that you could play on your smartphone.
