Has anyone been playing this? It seems like a really enjoyable MOBA in the third person instead of the traditional LoL and Dota. I just started playing it but seems like a really good take on this game type. I didn't see a thread about it so wanted to see what others thought.

I would say that statement pretty much sums up the board's feelings.

Great little game.

My current computer problems keep me from playing it though.

Hi Rez games has three interesting F2P games. Tribes and Global something that I havent touched yet.

Smite has some great FPS feel to it vs the clicking around to move your character. You control it with typical FPS controls with a third person view. Also uses some mythical gods which is sorta nice.

Good not great.

The pay structure killed this one.

Global was their best game. Lots of interesting choices in an arena design.

They started down the jungle path a bit, originally you could play any team setup, and that was a huge benefit. Controlling the jungle became too much a priority.

Also, every character either has a dash or a way to get out of a root/hold, except for like 4 of them, which makes those characters far less powerful. I want to see a little more creativity in character design.

I had played tribes way back when the original came out. Had a blast with it. Microtransactions can kill any game though.


Interesting take on the Smite pieces. I hadnt played enough to find those types of things out. Thanks for the info.

If you need any info, let me know. I've been playing for a year and a half, worked my way up beta ladders and such.
