What players say

Players describe Vanguards as a straightforward 3-player MOBA with matches around 10 minutes, no ranked mode or progression systems, and only three heroes. It is widely seen as a student project, enjoyable in short bursts but lacking updates and a player base, leaving most games filled with bots.
