Game Review Smite Beta

Smite is a pretty legendary sounding game. It is however, a pretty good quality game (well beta). It's a MOBA, yes I know everyone hates MOBAs but I enjoy them. Now what makes this MOBA different from the rest? Well take a look.

Third Person!!1!!one!! Yeah that's right Smite is a 3rd person MOBA based on Gods of all forms of mythology from Nordic to Chinese to African of all forms. In these images I'm Odin. As a giant nerd (my girlfriend can back this up) I love mythology especially Nordic with all the fantasy realms etc. and I am so happy to be able to fly through the air as Thor bringing down his almighty hammer on unsuspecting victims. Well unsuspecting until you hear him. Since this game has no ability to see over walls etc to see incoming attacks with ease then there seems to be an implemented sound whoring feature where you can pretty much hear if you're about to get viciously pummelled so can slowly and casually stroll back to your tower and wait for the storm to pass. As with any MOBA there is frequent patches to nerf and buff Gods which seems to be kicking ass the most violently.
  The graphics are pretty damn sexy too, with scenery that pleases the eye and abilities that please the thirst for f*cking sh*t up (I do try to keep it PG I swear). It also has a handy feature to stream from your launcher straight to Twitch. But the best thing by far is the fact that HiRez (The developers) Stream it 24/7 with giveaways on there own Twitch with presenters always commentating. It provides for excellent background entertainment while nuking that stupid monkey, no offence Hun Batz but you are annoying. They also provide useful hints and tips on how to not be a noob.

Look at the sexy menu screens!
   There is a variety of game modes and the competetive scene is just starting to pick up (if you like a challenge) however it is still in beta so it's all changing around and trying to get used to one aspect can sometimes be a struggle. Also the lack of being able to see over walls can cause difficulties and it could be argued that some skins and Gods are slightly overpriced. The worst aspect is however the community. The average game is full of raging children and rage quiters, especially in ranked. But that's to be said with all MOBAs really, there's only a small pocket of people who play these games for fun, or because they enjoy them, the rest just want to win.
  In conclusion, this is a much easier to play MOBA that is extremely enjoyable, free and visually impresive, but not for people who like to keep their stress levels low. 9/10 for gameplay, 1/10 for  lack o f giving me the Thor banhammer on the community (Hint hint Bart ;) )
