Earlier this week, Hi-Rez Studios released patch 6.1 for their third-person MOBA, SMITE. While there are a number of tweaks and fixes and other updates in this patch, the biggest feature is making the game cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms where the game is available: PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
When I think about anime, my mind tends to drift toward its most (obviously) crucial trait: waves and waves of unending creatures intent on destroying me and everything I stand for. At least, that's what it would appear to be, if the latest SMITE update is to be believed.
Earlier this week, Hi-Rez added a new co-op adventure to their F2P god battler, SMITE. We decided to dive in and check it out, despite our lack of skill or knowledge about the game. We've also got a few codes to giveaway that will net you the "Ultimate God Pack" (which means you'll be able to play all currently available gods, and all future ones as well) and add 10k gems (the premium currency) to your account.
Hi-Rez Studios has added another limited time co-op event for SMITE, the mythical gods battling simulator. While the core of the game is a 5v5 MOBA-style title, you can battle against bots with friends and, occasionally, the developers feature some other ways to co-op via special events called "Adventures." These events switch out every six weeks and the latest, "Shadows Over Hercopolis," brings a little action-RPG fun to the mix.
While Hi-Rez's SMITE has allowed you to team up with a group of friends to take on a group of A.I. bots in any of the main match types, it hasn't had a dedicated PvE mode until the most recent patch dropped on the PC. The new mode, "Xing Tian's Mountain," pits five players against a selection of challenges, like fighting two gods (Ra and Vamana) that become empowered when the other dies, with each one becoming more difficult the more you succeed.
The free-to-play, third-person action MOBA SMITE got a pretty big update today on the PC. In addition to a new goddess, the earth mother Terra, a lot of existing items and gods got some tweaks, too.
SMITE is having its 2nd Birthday this week, celebrating a successful two years in the ever crowded and growing genre of MOBAs. SMITE has managed to step out of the shadows of DOTA 2 and League of Legends as one of the most popular alternatives to "the big two." We're big fans of the game thanks to its five dedicated co-op modes.
The beta for the PlayStation 4 version of SMITE just opened up, meaning you can now download the title without having to pay for anything. In addition to that good news, fans of the third-person MOBA on either console have something to which to look forward: 60 FPS. One of the designers for the title, Scott Lussier, tweeted earlier this week that they're working on the change now.
Last year we checked out a MOBA by the name of SMITE, a game that allows up to five players take on groups of AI-controlled bots in a few different modes. We played it for a little bit and did some silly stuff. The title was a PC and Xbox One release only for some time, but the PS Blog has broken news that it will be coming to the PlayStation 4 soon enough.
Last night the Monday Night Stream crew checked out SMITE, the MOBA that mixes gods with 3rd person action. The game has been around for a quite a while actually, but recently found its way onto Xbox One and now Steam - so we felt it was a good of time as any to play.
Some changes are coming to Smite, the god-crazy MOBA that started life as a PC exclusive but eventually found its way to Xbox One. The new patch has just rolled out to One owners to make it more feature-complete compared to its older brother. One of those features is spectator mode, for those days when you just want to watch.
Platform exclusivity is a pain that every gamer had felt once in a while, but at least there is relief inbound on Wednesday 19th August for Xbox One fans of Smite. This once PC exclusive game is getting its official launch on the Microsoft console on this day and the bonus is that you can bring your PC progress with you.
