Summary
SMITE is a 3D, third-person multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed and published by Hi-Rez Studios. What differs SMITE from other MOBAs such as League of Legends, though, is its perspective and gameplay style. While most MOBAs have an isometric, top-down view, Smite is a third-person game, taking more inspiration from Hack n' Slash Action than Real-Time Strategy. This generates a faster and far more intense play-style that emphasizes player skill, fast thinking and aiming, rather than pure cold strategy. Another differentiation is that while other MOBAs such as League and DOTA feature a cast of fictional characters from its own fantasy setting, SMITE's champions are all deities and creatures from various world religions and mythologies.
In SMITE, a war has begun between the many pantheons of Earth. The Olympians of Greece and Rome; and Norse Gods of Asgard; The Egyptian Deities; The Transcendent Gods of Hinduism and their Incarnations; The Pantheon of the Mayans; The Gods of ancient, Imperial China and the Kami of Ancient Japan are in a war that shall shook the entire world, and transform many Pantheons into Myth.
Outside of the game itself, SMITE also possesses an Official Magazine that occasionally contains written short stories, and a Comic Book Series by Darkhorse.
Power of the Verse
SMITE, while appearing fairly unimpressive in it's gameplay and Cinematic Trailers, is an incredibly powerful verse once one digs deeper. In their Lore, plenty of Gods depict feats that go from Mountain, through Small Country to Continental levels, with plenty of its higher level gods depicting Moon, through Planetary to Star level powers.
It is also worthy notable that the various heads of Pantheons, such as Zeus, Ra, Odin and Amaterasu, are written as being equal to one another, and some of them have feats that warrant a Multi-Solar System level. Above them are Primordial Deities, written as rather equal to each other, with some having depicted Galaxy level feats.
Finally, there are the creator deities, which are described as having formed / crafted / weaved the whole of existence, which would warrant them ratings from the Universal to the Universal+. However, the Official SMITE Magazine in one of its storylines confirms the existence of countless timelines, with the character of Chronos being narrated as being the same in all of the numerous timelines having shaped creation before said numerous universes even existed, making SMITE a verse that comfortably sits in the Multiverse Tier.
The verse also features a good amount of powers and haxes, such as: Elemental Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Creation, Statistics Amplification and much more. The gods are also characterized by various types of Immortality. One of these is determined by the number of mortals that worship them and fuel their immortality. As long as a god is worshipped, it will come back to life. However, their souls can be imprisoned in places like the underworld.
