Vainglory has awesome battle arena graphics (pictures)

This new game for iOS made from Apple's Metal graphics engine is as great to look at as it is to play, but lacks the sheer amount of options you get in classic games from the genre.

You get only 10 heroes to choose from in this early release, but thankfully there's a mix of melee, ranged and magic heroes.

Early in the game, you want to drive the enemies back and take out their turrets while your hero gets more powerful with experience.

To enhance your skills, you're going to need to buy items from the shop. There are tons of different directions you can go to customize your character, but there's also a Recommended tab (top left) that will tell you what to get.

I tried to take out the minion miner on the left in order to strengthen our creeps, but the danger of the jungle is that enemy heroes might have the same idea.
