Dota Underlords

Dota Underlords mobile game is a good way to bring the game to mobile devices without making it just another MOBA. In all honesty, games from the MOBA genre as serious as this one cannot be ported without losing some of the features, cutting the game short, and overhauling a bunch of stuff. Instead, Valve decided to bring it as a different genre entirely, but with keeping its signature appeal, lore, and gameplay elements. This game is every bit as exciting as the original when you win a round and it is even more devastating when you lose.

Dota Underlords is a diverse and constantly captivating experience where no match plays out the same way twice. Having been with the genre since it was a custom map mod, it's heartening to see it executed as well as it has been here. Outwitting your opponents and the odds through clever thinking is always immensely satisfying, and the game's complexity means that there are plenty of interesting strategies to try.

Dota Underlords is all about learning while you go and being able to adapt and react to situations. If you can’t do that, you’ll never climb. Or dive, since this is an Underworld thing. I still recommend if you’re remotely interested in tactical gameplay to give it a shot. There is an incredible amount of possibility in the various team comps and gameplay styles. And for this price point (free!), it is worth at least trying a few matches. I don’t know if this is going to be the genre to overthrow the Battle Royale, but it’s nice to see something new.
