Game setting

League of Angels is a turn-based combat MMORPG where players take on the role of heroes as they fight monsters, save beleaguered angels, collect gold and diamonds (the in-game currency), complete quests, and battle against the forces of evil.

Gameplay

League of Angels is an online multiplayer game in which players collect heroes and angels, level up their strengths, combine the ultimate combinations of fighters and fight through dungeons, bosses and other players in order to obtain gold, diamonds, EXP and many other rewards.

Heroes

In League of Angels players can unlock dozens of unique heroes with different skills and attributes. Each hero can then be properly equipped, leveled up and have his/her skills improved. Players can then choose which heroes they want to place in their battle formation.

Angels

In addition to using heroes, each battle formation can contain one Angel. Angels can become very powerful when leveled up and will provide crucial support for your battle formation. As with heroes, there are many Angels that can be unlocked by players, each one with unique skills.

Story Mode

The Great Demon King’s army of evil has swarmed through the land. In order to halt his progress and save countless honest citizens, the angels have descended and formed a League in the fight against evil. They have begun to assemble the greatest heroes of all time and will stop at nothing until the Great Demon King is defeated. This League of Angels will not be stopped by any minion, dungeon or boss that the army of evil will throw at them.

Arena Battles

Arena mode is where players can test their battle formations against other Fire Raiders players from all around the world. Many different kinds of rewards are available for players who rise through the rankings and prove that their battle formation is superior.

Diamonds

Aside from gold, players can also use diamonds as currency. Diamonds can be awarded when reaching certain milestones and completing certain achievements. One option to acquire them is to purchase them using real-world money, but they are also readily available in game. Diamonds can be used to speed up every aspect of the game, from leveling up Angels and Heroes to purchasing better gear as well as more stamina and battle attempts.

Controversy

League of Angels is notorious for plagiarism in its ads, which tend to be unrepresentative of the game itself. It has posted ads copying from such games as League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch. It also advertises on many porn websites, falsely advertising itself as a game with strong sexual themes despite having little to no sexual content.

Awards

League of Angels was chosen as one of the best new games on Facebook in December 2014 for that year.[3]

Reception

League of Angels has received mixed reviews. It is praised for its art style, strategy, and familiar gameplay mechanics. However, it is also criticized for its frequent usage of money for Diamonds, and its automatic battle system. It also has been criticized for its false advertising, with a pornographic ad campaign similar to that of Evony. It is also said that it steals some artwork from other games as well as it steals some music and quotes from games such as World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and League of Legends. It has also used a short, looping version of the animated video used at the title of Final Fantasy XIV (version 1.0) along with the same musical theme used during the video.

Sequel

League of Angels II (also League of Angels 2 or LoA2) is the 2016 sequel to the 2013 game . Its impending release was announced March 15[4] and a 5000-player closed beta ran from March 24[5] to 31,[6] then replaced with an open beta. It launched April 8 in North America,[7] and 2 weeks later there was a free gold giveaway to promote playing.[8] The game's European release occurs May 19.[9]

The game's first multi-language release (English, French, German, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese) was released May 26[10] then Portuguese and Spanish on June 23.[11][12]
