Relic Raiders vs SMITE
Relic Raiders
Relic Raiders is an action-packed MOBA/fighting game hybrid where you play as a raider of lost and powerful relics. Select from six raiders and engage in a fast-paced and action-packed team-based or free-for-all battles. Fight in varied, ever-changing environments, unlock new skins, and use the terrain to your advantage.There are two game modes: Survival and the standard team deathmatch mode, with the latter having 2v2 and 4v4 variants. The Survival mode is essentially a battle royale. You’ll be dropped into a map with 15 other people - making it 16 in total - to fight against each other in an ever-dwindling map. The goal of both these modes is fairly simple: take out all enemies.
Overall, Relic Raiders is the type of game you’d want to root for. It suffers from several issues, but overall, the game looks like it has a lot of potential. It’s shaping up to be a must-play title. So, give it a shot and start raiding those relics!
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.
