Third Person MOBA with over 80+ Gods to choose from, lots of modes and tonnes of customization this game is highly recommended.

SMITE is a Free To Play (F2P) Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game and has probably the largest number of playable characters in any game F2P or not. There are over 80+ Gods to choose from, each has a different look, different abilities, they all have their strengths and their weaknesses and of course they all have a whole host of customization skins, emotes and taunts available for them. The developers are continuously updating the game with even more Gods, customization options, game modes and seasonal events which just keeps this game alive and interesting.

Almost everything in the game is customizable as this is F2P but almost everything is earnable for free, meaning you do not need to spend any money in the game. There is of course two currencies, the in game Favor earned by playing games and completing quests or challenges, and the currency bought with real money, Gems. As mentioned, almost everything can be bought with in game currency over time. Some of the things you customize in the game or buy with free in game currency are Gods, God Skins, loading screen backgrounds, loading screen character frames, God selection pedestals, in-game announcers, music, emotes and so on.

There are also many game modes to choose from, one of the more popular being Conquest, a 5vs5 typical MOBA type map where each side must defend against minions and enemy players while also defending their towers. If a tower is destroyed then the minions can generally push further towards the players base and victory is easier. There is also a game mode called Clash which is the same as Conquest but on a smaller scale with only two lanes and Joust which is on an even smaller scale with only 3vs3 players and a single lane. There is an Arena type mode which is again 5vs5 players in an open Arena with no towers to destroy you must instead just kill enough enemy players and minions to reduce the number of enemy tickets to 0 from usually a total of 500.

If PvP (Player vs Player) is not your cup of tea as described in the above modes then do not worry, there is also a PvE mode (Player vs Environment), this is a mode that either unfortunately or fortunately is constantly changing in SMITE. This is the mode that is only available for usually around a month or so then disappears for a little bit and reappears as a whole different experience. The first time I played this mode it was very similar to Nintendo’s Mario Kart, you were able to choose a God and drive around a track in a little vehicle which was different depending on the God you chose and the goal was to reach top 3 out of around 10 players total. There were pick ups that you could drive through to gain a speed boost or to shoot one of the other players and slow them down. Another time the PvE mode was more of a dungeon crawler which allowed you to collect gear to become stronger the more you ran through the dungeon. It is a forever changing mode and usually quite alot of fun, especially if you have a couple of friends to join you on whatever journey it may be.

All in all SMITE is a fantastic example of what a F2P game should be, it does everything well, it is constantly updating and there is a huge amount of free customization options with no need to spend real money. It is a free game in which you could easily spend hundreds of hours playing and never get bored.
