SMITE 2 is a popular MOBA game developed by Titan Forge Games

SMITE 2, developed by Titan Forge Games and released by Hi-Rez Studios last year, represents an evolution of its predecessor by introducing more modern graphics and improved game mechanics. While preserving the core concept of mythologically inspired god battles from around the world, it adds fresh elements that appeal not only to veterans but also to new players.

Comparison with the first title

SMITE 2 retains the core of its predecessor, which made SMITE stand out from other MOBA games: action combat from a third-person perspective. Players still have access to a wide range of mythological gods. The main differences compared to the first title include:

• Visual upgrade – thanks to the transition to the modern Unreal Engine 5, the game offers more detailed models, smoother animations, and more realistic effects.
• Better gameplay balance – a new item and ability system enables more dynamic combat and offers more strategic options.
• New game modes – in addition to the traditional Conquest map, new variations have been added to expand competitive play options.
• Improved AI and matchmaking – smarter AI for bots and a better matchmaking system ensure fairer matches.

Gameplay

SMITE 2 builds on the proven gameplay of the original, but brings several key changes that improve match flow and offer greater tactical depth. Players, as in the first title, choose gods from various mythologies and engage in team matches where cooperation and individual skills determine victory. The combat is dynamic and, thanks to the third-person perspective, feels more action-packed than other MOBA titles. The second title offers better interaction with the environment, enabled by the game’s new physics processing. It is now possible to destroy obstacles and use the terrain to your advantage. There have also been changes to the mechanics of individual abilities, which breathe new life into the old pantheon of gods. Add to this a new economic system and fairer gold acquisition, and you have a great modern successor to the overlooked first title. As for the gameplay itself… It’s still a MOBA game, so standard matches consist of two teams of five players each. The map is divided into three lanes and each player has a role, which should influence not only their choice of god but also item purchases. The goal is to destroy the enemy base. The transition to Unreal Engine 5 brought massive visual improvements. Character models are more detailed, ability effects more impressive, and the environment more dynamic. The audio aspect of the game has also been modernized, with god voice-overs and combat sounds adding more atmosphere to the matches.
