PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) vs Vainglory
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a battle royale game that features a vast open world island filled with plenty of resources to scavenge. Being a battle royale game, everyone will start off on an equal playing field. Through clever scavenging and picking the correct fights will you end up with the last few survivors to battle it out for the winning spot as the map will gradually shrink, pushing survivors closer and closer together.In some way, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds reminds me of Hunger Games, albeit a much more brutal Hunger Games that you can actually play in, and I'd actually like that.
However, the game is still pretty poorly optimized long after its release as an early access game, and well, the game has drawn plenty of flak since the devs have started banning anybody who killed a streamer who cries foul due to this thing called "Stream sniping", giving rise to a pretty bad and toxic atmosphere where streamers are players whom you literally can't kill in fear of being banned for no reason other than getting the upper hand on a streamer. Worst thing is the game's not exactly a free-to-play, so if you do get banned, that's literally money down the drain.
So, even if the game is as epic a battle royale game as it is, you should keep these downsides in mind going in. Gameplay-wise, the game is amazing, but you will need to be wary of its increasingly toxic community (both players and the team managing the PR side of the game).
Its developer, BlueHole, has recently (as of March 2018) released the mobile versions of the game, PUBG Mobile. The mobile version of PUBG is available on both Android and iOS.
Vainglory
Vainglory has been touted as the best MOBA on the mobile platform and we have to agree with this sentiment. Offering one of the most immersive and addictive MOBA experience that players can enjoy on the go, the game does really make full use of what resources that were made available for it via the mobile platform, giving players the rich gaming experience that they deserve. The game also provides various game modes (casual, ranked and quickplay), over 30 playable heroes, which is pretty admirable for a mobile MOBA game, along with a wide selection of skins, and guilds where you can meet other like-minded players and maybe even form a ranked team from the encounter.The most amazing aspect about this game is that it features its proprietary game engine which gives players smooth and incredibly responsive touch controls to play with, removing the need for any third-party device like a joystick or a controller. This is still true for the highly competitive ranked matches.
So, if you're looking for a MOBA that you can play wherever and whenever, Vainglory is definitely the game you'll want to download. It's truly as amazing as it seems!
