Mobile Legends: Adventure for iPhone

Idle RPG set in the ML universe

Mobile Legends: Adventure is a free-to-play role-playing game (RPG) from Moonton. This idle RPG experience features lore, characters, and concepts from the popular MOBA game, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). In this new yet familiar experience, you embark on an adventure across the Land of Dawn to save it from destruction. Meet familiar heroes and fight against all-new foes, all on your own pace.

Featuring a different art style than that of the original game, Mobile Legends: Adventure is a great option for ML players looking for a side game with similar elements. It’s quite like IdleOn - Idle MMO.

A relaxing ML auto-battler

The first thing to note about Mobile Legends: Adventure is its idle RPG setup. Unlike the fast-paced strategic MOBA experience from the original, this one takes a much slower pace. You only need to initiate a mission or a campaign, then your Heroes will automatically do the fighting for you. In this game, players have the option of manually choosing skills and moves or letting the computer take over. Fights are usually determined based on the stats, plus a couple of chance-based considerations.

As an idle game, your Heroes continue working and earning money for you even when you’re not playing. You can play it whenever you have the time, or just drop in to upgrade their stats and equipment. This simple setup keeps the game from being grindy or troublesome. With the story and the lore considered, it also works as a companion app to the MLBB game, since they share similarities and help players explore the world on a much larger scale.

While the gameplay is mostly idle in nature, it still contains wide strategic options that add to the replayability of the game. For starters, there are over a hundred heroes available, each having a unique design and skill set. These collectible characters are sorted into seven main types, and it’s up to the player to find the optimal lineup that fits their playstyle, or one that works against a particular mission.

Play solo or online with other people

Mobile Legends: Adventure offers a wide range of game modes. You can focus on completing the main storyline, challenge yourself on dungeon runs and bounty quests, or compete with other players in the Tower of Babel. There are bonuses and other events that rotate and become available for a limited time, further incentivizing regular gameplay. In terms of multiplayer, you can fight with others in one-on-one PvP games. Similarly, you can also create a guild with your friends and share progress and resources.

Similar to the original MLBB, the main challenge in this game is in its online lobby. While players are roughly grouped based on their level on the tower, there’s still the risk of playing against smurfs, or high-level players using low-level accounts. Additionally, this one heavily leans toward gacha mechanics, or chance-based draws. Most characters are unlocked through draws, driving players toward purchasing tickets or other in-game microtransactions.

A worthy MLBB companion

Overall, Mobile Legends: Adventure is a great game that will cater to a lot of players. Whether you’re an MLBB fan looking for something to pass the time, or an idle RPG enjoyer looking for good quality graphics. It even has a couple of game modes available beyond its original offering, adding replayability value and engagement whether you prefer to do it alone or with friends.
