What is a MOBA?

Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, or MOBAs for short, originated as a sub-genre of the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre. Because of this, in most MOBA games, the player takes control of a single character from the isometric (top-down) view akin to most RTS games. Typically, in MOBA games, a player takes control of a single character on one of two teams. Those players choose characters that all have their own abilities, or “kits”. To win, the players must use a combination of abilities, teamwork, and strategy to not only best their opponent, but destroy the opponents main structures. A bonus to the genre is that most MOBAs are free games, which is definitely a contributing factor of the their massive success. The genre has many titles, the largest of which being Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) and DoTA 2, League of Legends (LoL), and most recently SMITE!

What is SMITE?

SMITE is one of the more recent free MOBA games to enter the fray. In SMITE you don’t just choose a character, you choose a god. You’ll instantly feel an attachment to characters like Thor and Zeus because even if you don’t know the lore behind them, you’ve at least heard their names before! What makes SMITE so immersive is Hi-Rez Studios’ inclusion of historical lore into the gods’ abilities, kits, and play styles. Thor and Loki aren’t just characters from Marvel comics and movies. They’re also a part of Norse mythology and you can take control of them in SMITE!

What makes SMITE different?

SMITE takes all of the strategy of the top MOBA games and adds another layer of difficulty by putting you into the action! Unlike most MOBA games, SMITE offers players the chance to experience the MOBA genre they know and love from a third-person perspective. This unique perspective allows for an extremely immersive experience unlike any other game in the genre. While this doesn’t sound like such a big change, once you play it you’ll understand! All of these things added together is what has gaming websites everywhere continually rating SMITE as one of the best MOBA games available!

[lordgrin]

So I am going to guess that if you just buy everything you need about 8k gems like last year, but with the point its should cost you around 5-6k gems?

[simplebryll]

Hi-Rez please for the love of God allow us to play Smite while Paladins is patching

"Smite is waiting for Paladins update" ....like Why?

[nathanmceneny]

It's dumb that we have to wait a week. Like I LOVE the xieng chens mountain mode but do you think I'm gonna play that instead or rise or iron? :|

[VashTS]

Didn't realize we were all still in kindergarten. Must be super cool and important to get first comment.

[maross]

On an unrelated note, will Child's Play Scylla be returning with the Holiday Chest this year?

[TheGreenPolishMonkey]

Whats next? God named Sharingan and Byakugan,

[diegogomez]

Quick question so if I don't have the gems to buy the items when they release can I still get them later on and still get the t5 skin afterwards (before the event ends)

[jamesmarcleone]

Seeing how many skins there are, this is going to be the best Oddessy yet! So many skins seem so creative, I hope they have the manpower to churn these out every two weeks, it took them 5 weeks to make that community chronos skin
