Other than Smite, what video games have a lot of playable mythological pantheons? I already know about Megami Tensei, Persona, and Fate video games, what about others?
Age of Mythology, and Titan Quest 1+2 (spinoff by same devs). There’s a DS tactical spinoff of Age of Empires that’s not very good but worth trying. Torchlight might be similar to Titan Quest.
I’ve also been playing Saiyuki: Journey West (PS1) which is based on Buddhist/Hindu mythology. ‘Journey to the West’ also inspired Wu Kong, ‘Enslaved: Odyssey to the West’, and Dragon Ball series.
God of War (Greek n Norse), Darksiders (Christianity), Immortals: Fenyx Rising (Greek), Hades (Greek), Hellblade: Senua (Norse), Okami (Japanese), Folklore (Irish), Dante’s Inferno (Christianity). You’re not really ‘playing as’ myths but mostly fighting them in these series.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
