    Demigod

    Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Apr 14, 2009

    Developed by Gas Powered Games for the PC, Demigod is a real-time strategy, action role-playing game hybrid. The game draws heavily from Defense of the Ancients, the custom map scenario for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

    The game for all stratagy players-

    A good deal of people believe Demigod is basically DOTA (Defence of the Ancients) in retail form but it actually has several key differences that i feel make it a better game.

    Now for those who haven't heard heard of it Defence of the Ancients is a custom map for Warcraft 3 that revolves around players controlling a single hero which can be leveled up and customized, players must then work together to destroy the enemy base, which is defended by computer controlled minions and powerful towers as well as enemy Heroes.

    Unlike DOTA Demigod is very streamlined and much more easy to learn, which is good as the game features no tutorial mode, Players can choose from 1 of 8 Demigods such as the Rook which is a giant moving castle that can arm its shoulders with weapons and the Unclean One who can infect the enemy troops with a deadly plague.

    Where Demigod shines is in its small touches, for example the game features 8 maps to play on and each map is very unique such as one map is on top of a giant crystal with the devil trapped inside, Demigod has chosen to go for unique maps instead of strategic maps.
    Demigod also has a Unreal-Esque announcer who will yell out things like "Smite" or "Rampage" similar to First Person Shooter.

    One of the Major Weaknesses of Demigod is its lack of Content, the game features skirmish and tournament modes which can take a couple of hours to finish, although the game can be played online and Gas Powered Games Has promised to add new demigods and maps post release, so the Future of Demigod looks good.

      Solid RPG/Strategy game with limitations 0

      I like Demigod. I pre-ordered the game and participated in the beta. While it is an enjoyable game, I feel underwhelmed by the final product. This game will appeal to players who enjoyed DotA (the Warcraft 3 mod known as Defense of the Ancients) and players who like real-time strategy games. Demigod On the positive side, Demigod is an attractive game with a unique art style. It's not the standard Lord of the Rings / Dungeon & Drag on s art style. The Demigods are all visually interesting and...

      Rough Launch, Awesome game 0

      Demigod is a DOTA (defence of the ancients, warcraft III mod) clone, but it does it with such style that you cannot help but love it. If you never played DOTA it is basically an RTS where you control just 1 unit/hero. Each team is split into teams of 2-5 players and each teams base is surrounded by towers, each 30-60 seconds a wave of AI controlled units gets spawned in your base and runs straight to the opponents base, there is a clash in the middle where waves of  AI controlled units fight. Yo...
