Smite

Fundamentals:

Smite is a a third person, multiplayer online battle arena. The game is like any other moba rule-wise, so the game should be pretty self explanatory to any moba player. As for the average player. The game is explained pretty in-depth. And, there is a review/info tab as well.

Controls:

The controls for your moves are all on the screen and are overall self explanatory as well. There is a jump button but it doesn't do anything but add some character to your.. character... But, all you really need to use to move is the thumb sticks. As for the bumpers, you can cancel any move you don't wish to use with the right one.

Navigation:

Navigation in Smite is pretty simple. You can even see the direction your moving on the mini-map and the game being in third person makes everything a lot clearer to the player.

Performance:

The game performs very well. But, since it is strictly online, your connection matters just as much as everyone else's. Other than that, if you have a decent at-home wifi connection I'm sure you'll be fine and the game will run smoothly.

Gameplay:

The gameplay in smite can be somewhat repetitive but if you're a fan of mobas it should be no problem. On top of that, there are many other wonderful game modes that are quite different from the average three lane strategy based mode; Conquest. The game also does a great job at giving you a selection of characters as the game has nearly 100 characters to pick from and learn to play as.


Review:

I am giving Smite a 9/10. Smite is an excellent change of pace compared to the traditional top-down mobas that we all know and lover. Or don't love, whatever. It's still a great game to play. I definitely recommend it.
