Smite - Fighting with the Gods

Tweet

Hello myloters! I'm curious if any of you know of or have played this game.It's a moba type, like DotA or LoL(League of Legends), but with a 3rd person view of your character. Personally i found it to be extremely interesting as an experience, as it is fast paced, with great graphics and interesting mechanics. Unlike the other mobas in which you see everything from above, here you only see yourself, so you can often be surprised by the enemies. Thus, you must be extra careful and react fast. Also, almost all the abilities in game are skill-shots. So you can't click and hit you must direct your abilities the right way in order to target the enemy and actually do some damage. In Other words, it requires a bit of skill and the gameplay resembles a little the PvP in an action-MMORPG. One of the most awesome things about it though is the fact that the characters from which you can choose are only gods and demi-gods from various pantheons : Greek, Roman, Chinese, Hindu, Norse and even Mayan. The game is now in open beta , because it's very new and they are still balancing and testing things out, but there are mainly 3 game modes : the regular 3 lane type, like any self respecting moba, mao in which you have to destroy the enemy towers and his base (which is a Minotaur that actually fights back! Again, great idea); the arena mode- a huge Colosseum in which you fight with your team 5vs5 to destroy enemy minions and champions as fast as you can - each camp starts with 500 points, of which every death of the team is deducted and the first team to reach 0 looses; and the domination mode, also a three-laner but in which you have to conquer and keep some obelisks. Each of the maps has a different look : Egyptian, Roman, Greek and even Medieval, making the game a very interesting experience. The abilities of the characters range from shots to grabs, pulls, throws and all sorts of cool effects and crowd control that sometimes make you feel like a ping-pong ball if you get caught! It's even fun to loose sometimes :)) I personally like playing Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting because she's pretty versatile and fast, she has traps and summons Tusky :)) Tusky is the Caledonian boar, her ultimate and he looks a lot like Pumba from The Lion King. So, have you guys heard of the game or ever played it? What characters do you like the most if you did and which of them do you think are overpowered or underdeveloped?
