Smite was released for nearly 2 years before Paragon’s “open beta” began, so it’s not a surprise the older title covers more bases, though the introduction of Mac and Xbox One for Smite only came in 2016, though there are no current plans for Paragon to bridge into the other platforms, particularly Xbox One.Īs it stands Smite has a good head start on Paragon insofar as playable heroes, with a current roster of 86 deities that can be played from various real world pantheons, Paragon is already looking at a healthy 30 Heroes to choose from.
We’re pairing up two of the biggest third person MOBA titles on the market right now, SMITE (Hi-Rez Studios) and Paragon (Epic Games), a constant comparison and contest is made between these two due to their third person camera perspective (over a classic top down/isometric MOBA point of view), but there’s far more to both games than the third person label.īoth games are free to download and play for the various platforms they support with Smite being accessible on Windows, Mac, Xbox One and PS4 (and accessible through the Steam platform), and Paragon being spread between Windows and the PS4.
