HiRez recently launched their new mobile game Smite Blitz to users in several regions. Available on Android (Google Play Store) and IOS (App Store), this game certainly has an addicting quality about it. Smite Blitz is a Role Playing Game that centers around bringing peace throughout all of the religious Pantheons. Some are very weary of mobile games because once you run out of resources to play, you either have to buy something to continue your progress or wait for things to regenerate. This game does have that but let me be clear. There are so many things that you can do without resources to gain them, and they reset daily as well as the regeneration ticking. You won't be stuck not being able to do things which is a feature that not a lot of mobile games have. Once you're out, you're out, but luckily here there are several other modes within the game itself that can keep you busy and earning other rewards all while collecting the resources for the main story mode.

Here is the main screen you'll first be brought to upon opening your game. The UI is pretty clear and clean and you can navigate easily around. Since the game is new, there are still a few bugs but the devs are very hands on. There is a Discord server you can join to notate anything that you've seen in the game that shouldn't be. I recently didn't receive a reward that I should have and within one hour an employee reached out to me for the information needed to resolve the issue.

On the main screen there are a lot of options to choose from, although it may seem overwhelming at first, these icons will be your aid in to forming a super strong party to battle even the strongest foes.

Your Gods icon, which shown below once clicked takes you to all of the gods.

Augments are power sources that let you level up and boost certain stats. From power and defense, to even your formations in battle. Level them up as soon as you earn the resources to do so for a large spike in power or healing.

The Alliance icon brings you to the base of your Alliance where you can interact with your fellow members. (Photo below).

Inventory shows you everything that you have in hand. Your God Shards, Materials to level up Gods and Equipment, Skill Stones, and even Runes and chests that may hold something valuble. Make sure to peek in every now and again to make sure you've opened everything.

Your Quests tab holds your Daily, Weekly, and even Monthly quests that you'll be able to complete for tons of rewards.

The Altar is a wonderful place. When you earn the right resources to use the Altar you can summon powerful Gods or more resources to help in your quest. Summoning from the altar boosts your chances to gain a rarer God. After a rare God has been granted, your chances will reset.

And the Store is pretty self explanatory. You can go in there to spend gold or gems for things that you might need. Be sure to check each day because there might be something you need and it could possibly be on sale.

You can see on the top left your Friends list. Once opened it will show you the list of your friends, their levels etc. It will also allow you to send and receive gifts from them. Be sure to check here each day. Gifts give several things including Energy that you'll need to use in certain modes.

There is also a Mail icon which is your mailbox. It allows the devs to send you items after updates, VIP gifts, rewards from completing ranked modes and other things.

Finally there is the Ranked icon. If clicked it will show you the rankings of your server. Your Alliances rank, Duel, Arena, and Other modes rankings for the day as well.

When you start out you are given some Gods who you may be familiar with if you've dabbled in one of HiRez' other games, Smite: Battleground of the Gods. They range from the same classes as in Smite and most even have some of the same abilities. The point of the game is to level them up, make them as strong as you can. Fight in all of the different modes, complete quests, and if you're interested play in the ranked modes as well for other rewards exclusive to their modes. The red dots that are on some of the icons mean you have pending actions that need addressing. If everything is completed within a section no red dots will be shown. This helps you know exactly what needs to be done to progress. It is a great feature so you don't fall behind.

When you sign up you're prompted with joining a server. Once you do Adventure Mode is your main story line that contains various chapters with several levels in each one. It is what you're going to use early to earn rewards. These rewards vary from gold, materials used to level equipment and characters up, and items used to summon different Gods that join your team from the Altar. As you progress you will earn more rewards and get stronger.

If you complete the mode's challenges you receive a score based on a star scale. Receive the max stars (3) and you'll be able to Blitz that level in the future for XP and materials. Blitzing means you are able to click a button, use the energy that is required to play the level but not have to battle anyone. It automatically wins the level for you and gives you the rewards and experience for that respected level. It comes in quite handy if you're trying to push for some extra experience and items to help boost your Gods.

Join/Create an Alliance

Alliances are sort of like clans in Smite, or guilds. You can join one or even create your own! Being in an Alliance is a great idea since it allows you to earn items and different bonuses faster. Like the story mode you're given materials to level up your character, make your Gods be stronger, and even level up your account. There are several sections within the Alliance that will benefit you and the members of the alliance alike. Grow the Alliance to boost your rewards, create friends, and have fun together while fighting the enemies!

Ranked Modes

While you're preparing your team to be as powerful as they can be, you will have the option to participate in all of the different modes that Smite Blitz has to offer. There are so many different things that you can do including Ranked Arena and Ranked Duel. Ranked Arena pairs you up with another player's set of Gods in a 5v5 all out mode. The battle is automatic and the Gods go until your or your enemy's team dies. With Ranked Duel you try to take down the enemy's tower while combatting their lineup of Gods who defend and also attack. Completing ranked modes gives you rewards that you won't be able to get anywhere else. It also will show your ranking on the leaderboards if high enough on the main page. You can also earn fancy borders that you can show off in World's chat around your God icon.

Overall Smite Blitz is a very good game with tons of things to do so you don't get bored. If one mode within the game isn't for you, there are more than 10 other options. There are several other places within Smite Blitz that are available once you level up which happens very quickly. Unlock the levels so you can try them today!
