Smite Battle Of The Gods; Battle Against The Titans

By Zoe Hastings


It may not be possible to go see a match between gods but at least it is possible to design how it would look like. This is through Smite, which is a Multiplayer Online Battle Game or simple MOBA. It is in 3D and has a third person camera perspective making it more interactive. Greek, Egyptian, Hindu, Roman among other mythical gods exist in this game.

The players are organized into two groups with each team comprising three to five players depending in the game mode. At the start of gameplay, the players are granted some gold to be able to purchase items or upgrade others. The game begins at opposite sides of the map.

To get from either side of the map to approach the enemy towards the center of particular map, there are continuous lanes. Phoenix structures and defensive towers are availed to enable one launch their attack and defense strategies. Four game modes including Conquest are available for the players. The first is Conquest which like in other MOBA is a fiver versus five game. The first team to kill the Titan of the enemy wins, no matter how long it takes.

Arena game mode is the second game mode available for the game. It has two teams just like Conquest which battle in a coliseum. Minions circle around the middle and are very important in the game play. If you lose yours more of your points are deducted and you lose the match if they run out. Assault is another way of playing this game where the players are given a random god. Trickle of gold here is faster.

The last game mode is called Joust. It is good for beginners as one can play with friends. In addition, it has one lane, a single tower and both sides have a phoenix. Solo players can make use of Joust League mode. Different types of god are available to battle. Each of them has different abilities to be different from the crowd.

The mode and method of play by a god is determined by his or her abilities. For instance, if you want to damage your enemies you may choose Thor. The type of god to choose may also depend on the level and the number of points. Sometimes you may be able to loan a god. Points may be used to modify the powers of a certain god. These may include spells or basic attack techniques.

Crowd control, buffs and area of effect damage are some of particular spells from gods which may be modified. There is an area called the jungle that exists between the continuous lanes in which monsters roam periodically. Just like in other games, there are items that are purchased or given as bonuses which influence the game. In this game, these items are in a three level tier.

The tiers are leveled up by use of gold and with each increase in a tier, there are more benefits. To buy or increase the level of items can only happen at the base. When a player is already in battle, there is an option to teleport back to the base freely but they should be able to walk back to where they were.
