League of Legends: Wild Rift
A MOBA SANS-GRIFT.
Free with IAP (iOS Only)
Over the past five years there’ve been plenty of new MOBA games to quench the thirst of those looking for a solid strategy experience on the go. Unfortunately, since the slow death of the original, Vain Glory, the bulk of mobile MOBAs tend to follow the Chinese/Korean model, which is a heavy focus on monetisation, confusing event currencies, and poor performance in Oceania. Outside of a few exceptions, namely Mobile Legends or Arena of Valor, any new contenders struggle to reach a population density to avoid long wait times.
Riot Games has been surprisingly late to enter (), arguably the most successful game in its genre. Almost every other game it joins on iOS/Android has shamelessly copied not only its primary map, but most of its heroes, items, and build systems. This recent push is based on a ground-up development of a standalone title primed for not only mobile, but consoles as well.
