Smite!

[Angelic]

Yo,
so there's this new game called Smite, by HiRez (brought you Global Agenda and more importantly Tribes: Ascend). It's a MOBA game with a twist - it's operated in third person, all the abilities are skill-shots, autoattack is on M1.

It's currently in beta, but you can get in if either you make ANY purchase of ingame currency (cheapest one is for 7.99$) or get a referral key from a friend.

That's where I come in! I have one key available to give out to whoever wants to try it out But beware, there's a spin! When you activate your beta/referral key, you get TWO MORE KEY! OH MY GOD! So basically, we can keep this rolling throughout the entire THN community

If anyone is interested in the key, please PM me.

And here's a video by TotalBiscuit about the game:

It does look good, I'll have to look at someone else's review as TotalBiscuit sucks at explaining games.

 

[Angelic]

Does he? I don't think there's much to explain here, to be honest - the mechanics are classic MOBA-like, with a few tweaks (auto-skillup, auto-purchase, less emphasis on lasthits etc) and twists (3rd person, skillshots, nexus = boss...).

By all means, look around if you so desire But I think his coverage is pretty sufficient to give you an idea whether you'd like to try it out or not

It was more that he generally sucks rather then I didn't understand how the game worked . It's a pretty simple game.
This looks like a game I could get into for a while tho.

Played this for a while, after playing a lot of LoL. Turns out Smite has one big problem, you start with only 5 characters, in a team of 5 people. The choice is so limiting and boring, and pretty much ruins the game for the type of people they are trying to attract. That said, play as Ra, he's brilliant.

If they want to fix it, they need to triple the count of gods you can play as in total, and either double the number that you can get for free or do a rotation system like LoL does.
