About
SMITE is the online battleground of the gods. Players choose from a diverse cast of deities and use their unique powers to triumph over the opposition in 5v5 team matches. SMITE is a new take on the MOBA genre; rather than observing from above the action, the game’s third person perspective puts players into the thick of combat. Instead of clicking the mouse to move, players use the familiar WASD keys to move and fight their way through SMITE’s dynamic battlegrounds.

- NintendoLife8.0Smite was a great and fresh take on the MOBA formula back in 2014, and it’s only gotten better thanks to a consistent amount of new gods, themed events and eSports support. So Switch players are getting this game in its most evolved form, with a roster that's pushing three figures and a vast number of modes to unlock and enjoy.
- MMORPG8.0If you are itching for a MOBA to play on your PS4 you can’t go wrong with SMITE. The camera angle and control scheme are a natural fit on console. The power of the PS4 allows the game to be played without much noticeable difference than if it were on a PC. Also the ever growing pantheon of gods provide an interesting if not compelling reason to bring chaos to the battlefield from the comfort of your couch.
- PS Lifestyle8.0With good presentation, deceptively easy to pick up combat, and great team mechanics, SMITE will be one to invest time and money into. When you find your favorite character, the best thing to do is simply pay to unlock them. With a seemingly solid commitment to not turn this into a pay-to-win franchise, developer Hi-Rez Studios should be proud of this port.
- COGconnected8.5SMITE feels natural to play on Xbox One with a controller, something I was unsure it would as it’s a very ‘clicky’ experience on PC. With the Xbox One now having its first MOBA, hopefully this will open the doors for others to come to the platform, as long as they are done properly and with care, just like SMITE.
- IGN8.5Whether you're looking for casual action combat, or something to master through an investment of thousands of hours, Smite on the Xbox One is a well of frenetic action and smart strategy that runs as deep as you're willing to dive. ...Smite's accessible roster of divine characters, action-based controls and awesome abilities not only make it incredibly easy to be sucked in, but an excellent entry point into a genre that's notoriously uninviting for new players.
- Destructoid7.0SMITE is a fine game and a great choice for folks who may not spend a lot of time on their PC, but there are a number of shortcomings present in both editions that prevent me from playing it as much as some of its competitors. Still, it's a perfect starting point if you're looking to get into the genre, especially with the intuitive controller scheme.
Gamer reviews
I will rate this 9 but knowing that it is not worth it. I love the game, i have almost 3000 hours in this game and even tho i know that this game was a lot better in the past, i still can´t stop playing it. The game has very flaws like bugs that haven´t been patched for years, an abusive load of pricey skins, very bad matchmaking, a toxic community,etc... But the game have a lot of amazing stuff, like the story, the gods, the variety of phanteons, the skins are really good, and the gameplay is good and refreshing for a MOBA.
