Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures vs SMITE
Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures
Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures is a PvP-oriented game that's very much like Pirate Kings where the main gameplay is simply pressing a button to spin a wheel. However, unlike the Pirate Kings, this time around, you play as a godly being who is able to use your holy powers to smite your enemies. You can also build up your own beautiful island - an island that's worthy of a deity of your powers - and customize its look with a variety fo fun themes ranging from Greek Gods to Vikings. Furthermore, this game is much more cooperative in the sense that you not only get to attack your friends to plunder their gold; you can, interestingly, choose to defend them as well.With so many islands to own and collect (and naturally, to defend), Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures is the perfect alternative game for fans of Pirate Kings. In fact, they will definitely find the similarities between these two games familiar and comforting.
SMITE
SMITE is a competitive and rather popular (ranked around 3rd worldwide), mythological MOBA game that stands out from all the other MOBA games as players in this game battle it out in a unique third person view. In fact, despite being fundamentally the same tower-pushing gameplay, the entire gaming experience is very different as well mainly due to its controls, the group sharing of experience points and gold, as well as the way you do combat. Instead of the common incessant clicking, players will get to play their characters through the usual RPG controls in a somewhat action-based combat.The game also retains most of the old MOBA elements such as having an in-match item shop, a wide array of gods to play as along with unlockable skins depending on your god's rank, and a three-laned map. But it does change things up by making the game a bit friendlier to newcomers by having a recommendation system for puchasing in-match items.
SMITE may not be very unique in this day and age especially considering the large number of MOBA games, but back when it was released, the game was quite revolutionary. Even if you prefer the old-school MOBA gameplay, we'd recommend trying this game just to experience the MOBA genre in a whole new way.
