Hi-Rez Studios Announces SMITE Tactics, Closed Beta Sign-Ups Open
Remember that game that Hi-Rez Studios said that it would be announcing today? It turns out that it is SMITE Tactics, a turn-based strategy game based on the company's MOBA, SMITE. "The gods await your command," the game's website states.
Very little information is available at this time other than the following description found on the website.
The Gods are at war. And YOU must lead them to victory.
Introducing SMITE Tactics, a turn-based strategy game from from Hi-Rez Studios. Build an army from a large roster of mythological gods and creatures like Zeus, the Greek God of the Sky, and Odin, the Norse Allfather. Then wage war in competitive multiplayer matches or single-player adventures. It’s up to you to command your Gods, strategically position your forces to take advantage of the terrain, and unleash divine powers to defeat your foes.
You can also get a brief look at how the game might play in the video below. It appears to be a card game/turn-based strategy game hybrid that takes place on a square grid; it almost looks comparable to games like Duelyst and Hero Academy. As with those games, the would-be board appears to be fairly small.
Despite the lack of information, Closed Beta sign-ups are already open. Simply head to the official website to sign up. It is noted that the game is currently in "active development" and that Closed Beta will begin "soon."
