Mar 26, 2014You get to play a god. You get to move with WASD and aim (3rd person camera). You get multiple maps and game-modes. You get to play for free; or get every single god ever for $30. And great communication from Hi-Rez Studios - listen to community, making videos, streaming.

Aug 29, 2014This game sucks d*ck it is just leaps and lines and is for noobie little kids. Honestly a piece of **** do not play try Dota 2 instead. The voice acting is terrible for the most part and the gem system is a rip off joke, you can counter ultimates with just 300 gold active items rendering some of the gods ultimates useless. avoid this dog turd game.

May 21, 2014The 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.

Mar 25, 2014I don't know why other MOBA's try.
So Smite is in third person which gives really fun experience, I've always hated 2.5D where you're watching from the sky, it is a extremly addictive game, even to me, and I don't even play moba games! -

Mar 25, 2014Smite is a mix of a FPS with a MOBA. Its fast paced and fun.
Playing as a god is cool.
Killing other gods is cool.
Playing in 3rd person is cool.
I've been playing this game for 18 months in beta and still play it as much now as I did then. Awesome game. -

Jun 22, 2014Smite is pretty similar to other MOBAs, but it is heavily simplified. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The game is still highly competitive as it is based nearly entirely on skill shots and game knowledge. It's one of my favorite and most played games, and it's incredibly fun to play with friends. The game is free, so why not try it out? You may just find yourself in love with it.

Mar 26, 2014Really enjoy the game. I can't play top down as I find it very dull. The animations are really cool to watch and you can see they have put a lot of effort into designing characters around their lore. Hanging out for Aussie servers come'on!
-
Mar 26, 2014I've been playing since early 2013! Really fun game. Very fair, and a good historical backdrop. An awesome take on the MOBA genre, that it needed!!
-
Jun 25, 2014This game is awesome! really , i love LoL and Dota2 but Smite is far better, after (and during) every match i have smile on my face, because this game is so enjoyable.

Sep 3, 2014Alot of your favorite gods and demons you already know from many mythology tales... Also it does not lag, crash and loads extremely fast for having better graphics and smoother gameplay then any other moba ive played to date. Especially league of legends... I give this a 10/10 MUST play for all gamer types.
-
Mar 23, 2015Oh Smite, you are a lovely game. Community (overall *cough*) is good, the gameplay is awesome plus I love the 3rd person camera, characters/heroes are GODS which makes you feel like one and it's super easy to learn compared to Dota or LOL (played em both). It's not pay-to-win, devs keep supporting the game 24/7 and it's a ton of fun alone or with friends. 10/10, definitely try it out!
-
Mar 29, 2014A year back, it looked to me like a Dota2 with a 3rd person gimmick, but now that I've tried it, it's actually more than that. Smite does bring the same strategy, but it's easier for newcomers and it's more action packed. Game also features faster gameplay, interesting theme (Gods), more game modes, more maps, better graphics, surrender button... F2P model is also good. Overall, great game.
-
Mar 25, 2014League of legends and dota 2, but 3rd person and fun. What is there not to like. Also all the characters are gods that were worshiped in real life. In all AMAZING!!!
-
Mar 31, 2014This game has got a great future and make a big MOBA both the graphics and gameplay that lets you have all the action of the game that other games do not offer also have very many gods

Mar 25, 2014Been playing since early closed beta, and this game has come a long way. The god pack is an amazing deal(all gods and all future gods for $30). The 3D perspective is a nice change from the usual top-down MOBA. If you enjoy the moba scene, SMITE is a great game to try out!

Mar 25, 2014The Best MOBA ever and the only f2p game that I have spent cash on. Very Interesting game and re-playability is very high.I have been playing since early beta and have loved every minute of it.
-
Mar 25, 2014A DOTA fnatic, I just started playing this game, and I'm hooked ever since. One of the best MOBA if not the best.
- FREE TO PLAY
- 3rd person fast paced, action packed.
- 49+ Gods/Champions/Heroes.
- Great in-game depth.
- Community is friendly, accepting and forgiving..
- Good communication between community and developers.
10/10 would recommend. -
Mar 25, 2014The best thing about this game isn't its awesome graphics, interesting theme of mythology or even its refreshing take on a genre, but how well Hi-Rez studios interact with the community.
-
Mar 25, 2014One of personal favorite games currently it features 50+ gods with more on the way as well as several different game mode and the awesome theme of mythical gods from various pantheons (Greek, Mayan, Chinese etc.). Hi-rez has gone all out this time
-
Mar 25, 2014I came to smite from lol after a friend of mine suggested the game. there was no looking back. I have not played lol at all during the past 5 months, which have all gone grinding masteries in smite.
Excellent game, 10/10. Don't start if you don't want to lose all of your free time! -
Mar 25, 2014If you like dota/lol, play this game
If you dont like dota/lol, play this game, I try several times dota and lol but it wasnt my thing. Smite on the other hand is some fresh air do a genre that its begining to become overcrowed. Lol will be king for years to come, but if you want something different this may be your game -
Mar 25, 2014SMITE is the most original MOBA ever. I know people would say "LoL copy!!" but they aren't. It's like saying LoL is a copy of DoTa, and no one cares about it. The gods that are released are from mythology, so its not a copy. Community is great, the game is really fun and u have to really use your skills to be good, not like other MOBAs that u just have to play.
-
Mar 25, 2014One of my favorite games to date. Well worth everyone's time, would not let this game go to waste get playing. Hours of fun, this game has it's own unique take on mobas using Gods from mythology as there characters, very original and each character has there own lore telling you about the specific god, great game.

Mar 26, 2014The game is just too good, the 3rd person vision in a MOBA is just epic, also u play with gods! odin, thor, zeus, ra... Competitive scene, fan art, twitchapp in the game. Hirez well done VER.
So much fun this game. -

Mar 26, 2014Im playing smite for like 1 year now and still enjoy it alot! with alot of updates comming. my fav game definitly! u can google all the gods and find out about them they are all real myths!
-
Mar 26, 2014This game is hands down, AMAZING! If you took the smooth game play of WoW and turned the PVP into a MOBA with everything pretty much becoming a SKILL SHOT(No Locked on Targets like WoW). This is everything a MOBA's play style should be. DOTA and LoL are in there own league this is not even comparable for many reasons. Awesome game!
-
Mar 26, 2014This game took the MOBA genre and made something amazing.. I was a hardcore LoL player until i discovered SMITE, now I simply don't understand how LoL kept me entertained for so long..
-
Mar 26, 2014After 1000's of games, and countless hours playing with my friends, I can safely say this is the best game I've ever played. A variety of game modes, and a changing match of the day keeps everything fresh, and always gives you something to look forward to.
-
Mar 26, 2014Insanely addicting, worth giving it at least a few hours and try a couple of different gods, most gods are viable, balance is great. Devs are constantly listening and updating new things every 2 weeks or so. Just an awesome mix of MOBA and somewhat FPS

Mar 27, 2014The best moba out there.
like for real: tired of your standard boring moba, give smite a try, its free after all :)
plenty of content! and the best community of eny moba out there :) -
Mar 29, 2014A great twist on the moba genre, this game is breath of fresh air. I was a bit hesitant at first, but after playing it for a few days I can confirm that it's great fun; a game you'll come back to time and time again.
-
Mar 31, 2014Overall, Smite is a great game that takes the general concept of a MOBA like League of Legends and Dota 2, but puts it into its own original game with different controls.
-
Apr 2, 2014Im 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.
-
Apr 2, 2014Very good game.Nice Gods, nice gameplay, nice visual.This game can be better then LoL and Dota.Nice notarget system, nice 3d person view.I think this game much better then kasual HotS by Blizzard.

May 1, 2014Smite is completely different then other MOBAs and its only because of amazing work with camera and POV. I was not really in MOBAs about 3 months ago, but then Smite broke me and i cannot thank it enough for that.
-
May 16, 2014This game is amazing, its like LoL but closer to fps, can't see behind you so better strategies, and also nobody gets hyperfed and one shots your whole team... way more skill-based
play it -
Jun 7, 2014I've played this game several hundred hours since the early beta days, and it's gone from great to even better. I don't care that the game is free to play, I've spent thousands of dollars on games over the last 20 years. This is simply one of the greats for those with a hunger for pvp.

Jul 9, 2014SMITE is one of the game I was dreaming of... I LOVE IT 10/10! its like league of legend but better in my opinion cause we got more control on our character and combat experience is more intense, better graphics and the ragdoll effect on minions xD. The only negative thing I can say is that we need more gods but they already began to add some.
-
Jul 17, 2014This is by far my favorite game so far. There is very few games I come back to everyday and this is always my first choice game to play when bored. Starting by playing classic MOBA's, like LoL and Dota 2 was very frustrating. Smite is an easy to pick up game except for the fact its based off of skill shots. The third person view while using W,A,S,D is a lot more entertaining then point and click

Nov 4, 2014The 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! -

Jan 15, 2015What 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.

Nov 18, 2015Smite is one of the games that often works as an alternative to MOBAs like LoL and DOTA. But this is more of an alternative, it is not even a copy of those games. This is a standalone, interesting and, what is more, GREAT game, that you should not be afraid of checking out and playing.
10/10 -
Mar 3, 2019I just can't stop playing, I play this game since Bellona Patch, I need therapy.
No, really.

-
Aug 8, 2014Smite is alternative to Dota and LoL suited to beginners as well as veterans of the genre.
-
CD-ActionJul 23, 2014Third 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]
-
May 19, 2014The 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.
