    Clearly better than league of legends. Instead of focusing on crappy mechanics like "counters" this focuses on actual skill and knowing what you are doing. If you cant aim, you wont do well. League is garbage compared to smite, and its easily comparable since league is the standard of mobas...

    What started off as a small community based MOBA is now a widely played game who recently received $2.6 million as part of their world championship beating League of Legends for the 3rd spot in the top Esports prize pools. Keep in mind that this game as officially been out for less than a year.

    First of all, I hate games that copy other games. Like smite, a lot of the gods are just copies from League.

Also this game's mechanism is old and boring, same old same MOBA. Moreover, the skins are very poorly designed and I didn't want to spend a dime on any of them, even though I had a champion that I really liked. I would buy a skin immediately for my champ in league because of their superior art/effect/design. This game also has a HUGE amount of unskilled players, it annoys you a lot and the auto matching system keeps matching noobs for your games. The item mechanism is broken, a lot of items are similar, if you go check the items in league, they are much better/more diverse. Lastly, the first person perspective just fails in a MOBA, sometimes a projectile that misses 1 millimeter on the screen can decide if you win or lose in League, yet in this game it's impossible to do that.
    I don't recommend this game. League is WAY WAY better than this game, and btw, I do NOT like League that much(it's still better than this game)    … Expand

    In my opinion Smite is the best MOBA that there is, because of couple of things.

    1. You play as God - which is cool :D 2. Third person view is absolutely game changing. Any other MOBA hasn't done same at least so well.

    3. Gods are pretty easy to get for free, if you play enough.
    4. Let's say you make account today. You get 5 gods for free that are unlocked forever and 5 gods that are rotation. Then you friend makes account later and he gets different 5 gods and 5 gods that are rotation. (I don't know how often those new account god rotation takes to change)

    I am terrible at MOBA games, but at least Smite looks good and feels good. I have tried many MOBA games including DOTA2 and League of Legends. Latter I played some time, but then I found Smite and that was the end of LoL for me. :D    … Expand

    Mechanically, this game is sound. I'm not a MOBA fan, but I loved the action SMITE brings to the table. It's so funny how a different perspective can lead to such a different result, but it's true here. If this game were it's own, and not just a MOBA, but more like UT, it'd still be kick ass.

    The Gods are really cool. Though they have made some Gods look more LoL-like (Kali, He-Bo, New Ao), overall, they have done a great job to actually acknowledge the pantheons they come from. My favorite is Neith, followed by Bastet, then Bacchus. Though I may only play certain Gods, I love all of them. There characters stick out, their VP's are top-notch, and the costumes that keep coming only further the personalities of the Gods (and, in turn, the players).

    I may return to it at some point. I've played for a loooonnnngggg time and have seen SMITE undergo many many changes. Every step Hi-Rez has made has been the right step towards making an engaging MOBA worthy of e-sports fame (and I'm being generous here, as I find e-sports to be "What, you can't catch a football?")

    All in all, this is a solid game. If you have a 2-4 friends that like this type of stuff, I'd say bring the malong if you haven't already. SMITE is doing it's best to stand out among the many, monotonous MOBA's out there.    … Expand

    The game is amazing fun, though it has it's issues with the ban system and the deserter system. As well as unoriginal skills.

    So pretty much it's one of the most enjoyable games ever, and pretty much everyone could like it, but if you have a bad internet or are just plain unlucky, you won't be able to play much.

    The 3rd person view makes using a gamepad possible, which really makes the game unique. It can't really be compared to other "mobas", which is both good and bad. The good part is that the games stay pretty fast paced for their entirety. The bad part is its fairly simple, with not much to learn aside from specific spells and items.

    This online Moba is fun, but under the wing of Hi Rez has increasingly become bad.

    -the match making sucks. Reasons? I have 600+ games under my belt and am lvl 30 but I am being paired with idiots with no knowledge of the game.
    -most of the characters are broken/op or are completely bad. Just look up the newest gods abilities

    At least it's a "free" game.

    The best MOBA out there. Amazing skins for god and marketing for upcoming god releases make me excited to play them when they are released. monthly events of free Gems(in-game money). Smite has some really good game modes that make the game so much more playable and less of a chore like other moba's.

    If you don't have it you should get it, if you have it you should be playing it now!

    The good thing about SMITE in my opinion, is that it feels more like an action game than a pure MOBA, and in my opinion, that's a great thing because I was really getting tired of the constant samey MOBA experiences. Controlling your hero feels more like you are actually in control, not just giving commands to a hero. Every auto-attack and skill use feels good, because you are in control.

    The game features *now* great graphics, fluid movement, good interface and a huge variety of items and active skills to customize your hero. The game barely had any of those things 2-3 years ago, but Hi-Rez put their head to it and made the game so much more than what it was. It's really great.

    The VGS (voice guided system) is pure gold. Probably one of the best features that I have seen in any MOBA, ever. It allows for quick communication with your team without hindering the gameplay at all. All the commands are appropriately labelled and you can learn the whole system quickly. This increases the whole cooperation with your team, without voice chat in the game. You can even customize the V commands with a voice pack of your choice by your favourite gods.

    Great thing about this game, is that it's based on mythology, and all the gods you know and love are back in and fighting with each other.

    Before, the UI, matchmaking and graphics were my main gripes with this game, but Hi-Rez is making constant HUGE updates with revamped graphics, characters , maps, game modes , skins, etc.

    My main two gripes with this game are kind of minor, but they are there: HORRIBLE voice acting except for few characters like Tyr, and silly auto attack animations which seem be needlessly spectacular (like, does my character really need to do a 720 degrees backflip every other auto attack? Hi-Rez is getting better, but some AAA are still silly).

    SMITE also has a great business model, a step up from LoL. You can not only buy characters with in-game currency and real currency, but you can also rent gods and pay a lifetime fee of £20 and get every god + every future god in the game.

    Overall, SMITE is a great f2p package and everybody who loves MOBA games AND action games should check it out, it's really fun.    … Expand

    Having played many a MOBA, Smite is more than a step in the right direction. I love the third person view over the top down as most MOBA's do. The only complaint is that you do not get master in co-op. You get 3 mastery in normal (pvp) but I think you should get at least 1 mastery in co-op. Do not force people to pvp or you lose players.

    People report too much in this game. If you have a bad game.. you will get reported for feeding. If you are annoyed because some dude feeds the enemy team and you simply spam the ingame emotes a few times whenever he dies, you will get reported for harass.

    Even if you play a decent game but your team loses anyway.. yup thats a report for you! It's really really bad. Especially as a support you can eat your heart out with CC and helping others and your team will still insult and report you in hopes of getting you banned if you lose (solution dont play support ever!).

    The worst thing by far is that smite checks for other programs running while you run smite (e.g. detecting cheat engine). But not only does smite not care wether or not you actually USE the program to modify the game and instant permaban it also missdetects some programs like a few graphic card addons and performance trackers.

    The ban count is never reset so earlier or later you WILL get the 1 year ban.

    The only thing i can recommend is to not spend any real money on cosmetics or god unlocks simply because it will be gone earlier or later    … Expand

I feel that there is a higher possibility of a comeback, and the matches end a lot quicker, which is a welcome change of pace, since some Dota-games can really drag on. The skill-cap is high, but the game is more forgiving than other similar games, at least in my experience. So far, the community also seem a bit better than Dota 2. The biggest complaint I have, is that most (sadly) of the skins for the heroes are just awful. Some of them just don't look good, which is fine, I can just stay away from them, but some of the skins are just childish and ridiculous, which really bugs me out.… Expand

    Smite is one of the most annoying games for a MOBA. People are constant tryhards top win a match and then the teammates never seem to cooperate with anyone.

    SMITE may not be the same cookie cutter formula we always get to see from the upcoming moba's but they took a concept to make the view similar to Warcraft and the controls are superior to traditional mobas because the moves are SKILL BASED the result being some of the most intense action I have ever seen in an arena.

This game does a good job of making you feel very powerful I feel like each time I get to about lvl 15 I just start going on a rampage because my items I bought are so good by then I feel way more powerful than other mobas.
    And the beauty of just having about 4 moves for each character to learn it only takes about 2 or three matches with a new character to start learning them. Hi Rez did an amazing job by reimagining the Moba and creating something totally REFRESHING FOR F2P THANKS.    … Expand

My friend (who also does reviews, his name is 'Memburg') was telling me about a game he recently started playing SMITE, I had seen a bit of SMITE on YouTube and I thought it looked okay, so I downloaded it and begun playing it with him. In my first game I got two kills, which is not much to most, but my MOBA background consists of one kill every match (that I stole), so to me it was a big deal. I began to love this game. I have no idea how long I have spent playing, but it would be nearing 100 hours by now. I started on Cupid when he was on the free God rotation, moved onto Tyr (who I no longer play), Mercury, Hun Batz, fell in love with Vulcan, and I'm really enjoying Scylla right now.

    My long and ramble-y story basically comes down to this: If you are a fan of MOBAs, play it. If not, you very well may enjoy it, it's in a much nicer view so it's more welcoming to people new to the genre. The reason I gave it a 9 is because 1) MOBA communities are some really not nice people, so I play with friends (although you do meet some nice people now and then), and 2) every now and then, I get annoyed at features, but it's not a consistent problem; just sometimes annoys me in the middle of a game.    … Expand

The minimap isnt very good and doesnt really convey information such as enemy location in lane because as soon as your opponent moves a bit further away from your teammate (even if he stays in lane) he will disappear from your minimap.

    Furthermore the mostly unranked gametypes this game has are ruined by premades stomping randoms - there doesnt seem to be a decent pre vs pre matching. Especially later at night you will often run into 3 (conquest) to 5 (arena) man premades who just destroy random teams over and over.

    ^The issues above are somewhat fixed with the introduction of curse voice but not that many people are using it as of yet (especially in unranked where people dont WANT to use voice) so its not helping as much as it could.

    By far the worst thing about the game is the report system. Basically the losing team will usually pick 1 guy on their team and just shove all the blame on him and ask the other team to report him as well. (you know how everyone becomes trash tier when your team loses.. *sigh*)

    You can also get banned for getting disconnects during games (which actually happens a bit more at right now because hirez seems to have server problems at the moment) pretty much if you DC 3 times in 2 days you get a ban.

    All of this wouldnt be an issue if the bans would be looked into more thoroughly by a support team but theyre not. And in addition to that if you get banned 4 times (within any timeframe at all ever) your ban will be almost permanent (1year). This is a huge problem as leveling a character to the point where u can play ranked takes A LOT of time and if u want to use all the gods you will have to unlock all of them again on a new account as well (which again consumes A LOT of time OR you can of course PAY MONEYZZZ to speed it up)

    So basically banning people is a pretty good source of income for HiRez which is not a good starting point for a fair report/ban system.    … Expand

    Although the community is great and the game is fun, it is ruined by the fact that maybe 5 champs run the game. Out of the maybe 4 dozen champs, only 5 are worth anything and if you dont play them you lose. End of story. Its no fun to play as people only play the 5 OP champs and you cant play the ones you want or you are guaranteed to lose. Ill stick to LoL, much better champ balance there.

After playing over forty eight hours of the game, I can clarify that these statements are false. SMITE is by far the best MOBA that I have ever played. It takes the good aspects of all MOBAs and puts them into a more action-packed, friendly, and generally much more interesting game. It features the classic tri-lane gamemode while also adding several others to break up the monotony of one singular map. This was a problem that DotA 2 had, and SMITE has surpassed it in that respect.
    It also features a gigantic character roster of over 90 gods to play, each one purchasable either with an in-game currency or with real-world money. Each god is very unique, has their own way of hacking, slashing, and hitting B to warp back to base.
    Its graphics are very nice also, they're just as high-fidelity as DotA but are more realistic than both League and DotA, and so personal preference decides which you prefer. This game's community is far better than DotA 2's, and makes League's look like the final circle of hell. People are always happy to help players out, work together, listen to voice commands and so on.
    This game's biggest negative however is that it's held down by a ton of the classic MOBA rules that have League of Legends twitching on the floor covered in bees. It keeps the whole "purchasing gods" aspect, albeit bypassable by the Ultimate-God-Pack, but it also has unfair voting mechanics, unchangeable characters once locked in, and the last hitting rule.

    Also, the team behind this game do a great job of involving and connecting its fans with tons of out of game content such as comical in house videos with its staff, or streaming their games on their homepage with their admins playing while chatting with fans during games, or amazing live streaming of flashy grand tournaments with classy commentators during and after matches, also excellent and fast tech support for this game, etc....

    I paid for the ultimate god pack to unlock all characters but this game is absolutely completely playable being FREE. Yes, it's a free game. You can't beat that. In game purchases are their driving monetary income such as character skins and items.

    My only complaint is sometimes a player may lose connection to the game and their character will run back to base. Hopefully one day that character can be a bot with the team at least to keep it fair. Sadly their bot AI is weak at the moment and would likely hurt its team instead of help.

    An absolutely okay game that bends awry from the current sewage spill that is the MOBA market just to dip back straight into it by allowing you to purchase items such as beads that instantly clears you of any and all CC effects (including grabbing ultimates of other gods) for only 300 gold that doesn't even take up a normal item slot or the blink orb that is just as cheap and effective asAn absolutely okay game that bends awry from the current sewage spill that is the MOBA market just to dip back straight into it by allowing you to purchase items such as beads that instantly clears you of any and all CC effects (including grabbing ultimates of other gods) for only 300 gold that doesn't even take up a normal item slot or the blink orb that is just as cheap and effective as the 2150 gold blink dagger in Dota 2.

    Certain god balances like Ao Kuang, Poseidon and Zeus also leaves me scratching my head and once you combine it with the most putrid community & report system ever, you got a game that has naught but a third person perspective gimmick in a fundamentally imbalanced MOBA that's populated with nothing but trolls and tryhards on a bunch of wonky servers.    … Expand

    If your thinking a new form of moba. Well you just landed here with Smite for 2014. No other moba has the action packed into a flashy style like a shooter, for a third person view. Gods of choices is where it draws the line. Better yet, this game is picking up new players Fast!! It's about time someone does it right.

    Compered to other mobas such as LoL and Dota2, this game really stands out with its TPS + action style gameplay.

    The only thing bothers me the most is it's very slow exp rate. I mean the currency drop for purchasing new gods is just too low.

    The game is very fun and remarkably addicting. If you enjoy the hardcore strategic and competitive nature of games like DotA but prefer WASD movement, controls similar to combat found in most MMORPGs, as well as games like Fury, Natural-Selection, or team fortress, then this game is for you.

    I ended up boycotting the game after my account was suspended for 72 hours. There is no way to appeal the suspension. I was charged with "Intentional Feeding". I'm a member of an esport gaming group so the charge is laughable but that goes to show that you can be trolled to death by team mates filing false reports.

    I was sold on the art direction, which is beautiful and the concept of leagues, levels and mastery ( which is an illusion ). You gain experience, regardless of a team win or loss, which contributes to your God Mastery level. You end up with people, who have level 10 mastery in God, who are not very good with their characters. You end up with people being rewarded for going AKF and sitting in base, not contributing. You end up having to carry people with a 1:13 and 3:15 kill-death ratio ( real stats from a game ) while also having to write a thesis in the chat channel about the fact that your 0:6 k/d with Thor, during the late game ( in a different game ) doesn't matter, since you have single-handedly done 7,300 structure damage. Maybe it's because the viewpoint is third person and the mini-map is off to the side, whereas in DOTA 2, people are very aware of the significance of losing or gaining a tower but players in Smite seem utterly clueless.

    The player base and matchmaking is horrendous. The game is free-to-play ( with all the pluses and minuses that F2P brings ). The game is plagued by all of the problems of DOTA 2 ( AFK-Leaver-Noob-Retards ) plus the fact that people have never played a MOBA before and don't seem to understand the significance of tower loss or gain or even game-flow ( which is covered in Youtube tutorials and is viewable during the 5Gb download ). If you are a skilled player, be prepared to carry the team in almost every game.

    The idea behind leagues is that if you get to level 30, you can play in competitive leagues. I have read that only 1.6% of the player base plays in leagues at any one time, which means 20 minute wait times for the Bronze league and those leagues are still not free of someone leaving the game, resulting in a re-queue time.

    I could only stomach grinding to level 25. The match making was an epic exercise in frustration ( perhaps no different from other games which fail to have adequate match making, since match making is often an after-thought, if it is even thought about at all ). The only way around the matchmaking is to add friends and go in as pre-made ( Leagues do not support pre-mades ). Every page on the Official Smite forum talks about the broken match making ( an unsolved, 2 year problem ).

    The game plays well enough and is very addictive. I have only noticed a couple of frame rate skipping episodes on my NVIDIA GTX 780 but I'm sure that those kinks will work themselves out in time. The game doesn't have the hardcore modes of DOTA 2 ( "Pure random" God pick or "pick 3" ).

    Final Score: 7/10 ( 2 points deducted for the poor match making and 1 point for the the inability to appeal a false report of "intentional feeding" / crap player base ).

    After 24 days of not playing, I went back and got to max level ( level 30), with 12 different God masteries, in an attempt to get into ranked games. I recently noticed this Reddit post, which everyone should read: "Smite-Streamer abuses Power to contact HiRez and instantly ban players".    … Expand

    It feels slower than LoL and easier to pick up and play as a noob. The gold difference between someone that's dominating and someone that's getting owned is much smaller than in LoL. It's therefore much harder to snowball, and any advantage gained in early lane is quickly caught up.
    One of the hardest things to get used to is running from a battle with low health, having to turn your back on the action. With LoL obviously you can see the action even when running away. In Smite you can only see what's in front. You may turn around and run because of low health, only to have a look back and find that your team has won the battle after all.
    I play this game at 2560 x 1600 max settings and it looks wonderful and it's perfectly smooth on Xfire 290x cards.
    There is no chat to all in this game, only your own team. Somehow between this and the fact that you're using WASD to move, the chat in game is minimal and much less agro than LoL.

Smite also has abilities that involve gods flying up into the air way above the combat and shooting/raining down projectiles. This was a lot of fun. The game is polished, game play skill-based (lots of skill shots), graphics are sharp, sound is good, and the interface in-game and out are well-done. The game modes already provided are interesting and will only get better.

They have practice, normal and league options for the different modes with the exception of the private lobby being only available under normal.

    The game is F2P but does have in game purchases yet none that make the game P2W. They offer you 5 starting gods and 5 random gods that rotate weekly so if you don't have the money you'll still get a chance to enjoy the variety of gods on offer, currently 51. Most things can be purchased with "Favor" which you earn through battle but some costumes and all the individual character voices are gems (cash) only. The best option they offer is a God Pack that gives you access to all current and future gods for a one time fee.

    Now for the final cut.. While the game is fun and I do play it almost daily it's not without it's glitches. For me personally this game was in beta for two years and to still be having problems I don't understand; which is why I scored it the way I did. Server pings are random. I can play a match at 70 and have another at 150+. Since release HiRez has fixed some issues with the ping where before I had matches that'd start great then my ping would shoot up to 600 even 900. I also had matches where both teams could not play because you'd be walking out your spawn area 5 times then suddenly pop halfway across the map yet we could chat just fine. Rare graphic glitches and abilities that on the rare occasion seemingly not do anything even though it executed properly from your POV. They offer a broken Twitch integrated client that would allow you to unlock a skin for one god but for a reason only known to the gods have not bothered to fix it so it's impossible to unlock the skin. Now even with these and other minor things the game is still fun. The community does have it's few elitist ass hats who whine about your build or not following meta but they do offer the option to mute, report and block players so if you happen upon them remember that and don't get caught up in their trolling ways mid game.    … Expand

Being both a League of Legends veteran and proficient in DOTA 2, I have to say that once you get used to SMITE, there is no going back. You will wonder how on earth you had fun incessantly clicking around in order to control horrendously stale sprites.

    Some people may say SMITE is a MOBA for casuals....if that means it's a game that is actually fun and doesn't force you to learn a clunky mechanic simply because of tradition, then yes, SMITE is for casuals. And all the better for it.    … Expand

    This MOBA deserves your attention. LoL and Dota are not the industry standard of MOBA's...Smite proves that. It's a genius mash up of a 3rd person action game with the mechanics of a traditional MOBA. In my humble opinion, this is the BEST F2P title out there on any platform. The funny thing is, I am not even a fan MOBA's and yet I have spent over 400 hours in Smite.

It's a genius mash up of a 3rd person action game with the mechanics of a traditional MOBA. In my humble opinion, this is the BEST F2P title out there on any platform. The funny thing is, I am not even a fan MOBA's and yet I have spent over 400 hours in Smite.

    Ok, sure you have lanes, towers, minions (creeps), and lots of characters to choose from but the big difference here is that you actually have to aim your shots/skills manually using WSAD and the mouse. This little mechanic adds an enormous amount of depth to the combat and makes you much more involved in every second of the game.

    The character selection is great! You play as many different gods from mythology like Hercules, Hades, Anubis, Neith, Cupid, and Thor just to name a few. Each god is very well crafted and feels very unique. Every time I purchased or earned a new god, I found myself dumping endless hours into learning the skills and play style of that god. It feels like a new game every time you decide to master a new god. Along with many characters to choose from, there are a handful of solid game modes and maps to choose from as well. Don’t feel like playing the traditional 3 lane map? Well you can choose from one lane maps, arena team deathmatch, control point maps and my personal favorite, the Assault mode (one lane, no jungle and random gods). Another positive worth noting is the amount of care and attention the staff at Hi-Rez has put into this game. It seems like every month or so they release a new god and/or patches and cosmetic changes. If you log out of Smite for weeks on end, expect lots of new additions to the game when you come back.

    MOBA’s are known to be highly competitive which usually means you will find a highly competitive smack talking community. The good news is Hi-Rez reacts quickly enough to player complaints and has no problem issuing bans. But there in lies the problem… I have been wrongfully issued a three day ban before with no warning that my account was under review. They just simply banned me and told me to deal with it. After a few emails back and forth, I found out it was because I had too many disconnects mid game. That was only due to my shoddy ISP at the time. Solution? Maybe Hi-Rez could send out emails or in-game messages warning players that their account is under review.

    This next issue I have is a strange one that seems to be a big grey area with not only Smite but most Early Access games in general. I purchased several gods with real money in the past. Sometimes Hi-Rez will make major changes to gods that I have purchased including re-skins and skill changes. Well that sounds fine and all but the reason I bought this god was because I liked it for what it was at that time. Some of these changes completely transform the god into something I no longer like to use. This has happened several times in the Beta which I guess is understandable (being a Beta) but it has now happened outside of the Beta which seems to be more of an issue. I just hope that’s not going to be a common thing to do.

    Those minor gripes aside, I can’t say enough good things about Smite. With so many low quality fremium games out there, Smite’s content and support make this a diamond in the rough.    … Expand

    This was the game that got me to register for a metacritic account. Smite is a small-time game that deserves my voice, and other players' voices, to vouch for it on its behalf. It has to compete with huge powerhouse players in the MOBA market.

    Smite is a great game, that for me, raises the bar for the MOBA genre. Personally, the combat and perspective just feels so right. Its fluid, allows for insanely skillful plays, and responsive. Every time I die, I can tell why I died and the balancing seems fair. When you're having a good game, you really feel like a badass versus a traditional moba, due to the enhanced action combat. I think the movements do seem SLIGHTLY floaty, and would love to see a more powerful physics engine if they were ever to make a sequel. Overall it feels very kickass to play though and when you're having a great game you feel like a GOD.

    There are several competitive game modes offered. My favorite alternate game mode is the Arena, where Hi-Rez absolutely nailed the gladiator coliseum experience. The roaring crowds after plays are made....the aesthetic....the straight up 5v5 brawling from the beginning of the game....It's all there.

    Also the Ultimate God Pack is such a great value for your dollar. I recommend purchasing it if the game grabs you.

    Please give smite a try, especially if you're looking for something "new".    … Expand

    Im playing this game since open beta. It is just perfect. 100% pvp, fast action, nice outlook, many many characters and modes to play. Even if you dont like MOBA genre you can still love this game. The feeling is more like mmorpg/fps than LoL.

    Smite is alternative to Dota and LoL suited to beginners as well as veterans of the genre.

    Third god perspective freshens up the MOBA genre but its potential was not fully utilized (e.g. you can jump, but there’s nowhere to jump to). Smite makes up for that with varied game modes and accessibility to inexperienced or casual players. [06/2014, p.58]

    The product of Hi Rez Studios is well made, and offers different feelings from those of its competitors, thanks to the different camera angle and a fast paced gameplay.
