That thinks this game looks really great? I love the sense of scale, it really makes it look epic even in just the screenshots.
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
Am I the only one?
I hadn't even heard of it until PAX08, I went to the Stardock booth, and there was (*gasp*) a demo computer with nobody at it. I tried it out with a GPG employee pointing things out while I played Rook. I enjoyed it enough that I preordered it (FYI preordering gets you into the beta).
I saw this announced in PC Gamer a year or more ago. I love SupCom, so this is a natural purchase for me.
Meh, here's the way I'm looking at it
So, unless I'm proven wrong, I'm gonna stick with DOTA.
It looks awesome, and It claims to be an RTD/action RPG, since I really like DoW2 it sounds good to me.
DOTA:free (since I already own Warcraft III+FT)97 Heroes, each with a different playstyleDEMIGOD:50-60$8 Heroes
Well, first off. DotA has 100 heroes? Yeah, but most of them are extremely similar or outright clones. Not to mention the fact that they always use the same 3-4 abilities every game. Nothing is ever different. There is no way to customize them the way you want. Etc.
This is not true for the heroes in Demigod. Sure, 8 might seem like a small number, but once you start looking at how huge their talent trees are. Start seeing the synergy between talent tree paths, and the items you can buy. As well as start buying persistent items that follow you from game to game. Those 8 heroes start becoming infinitely more complex. Way more complex then anything that WC3 DotA has to offer. Plus, the Demigod heroes look a thousand times cooler then the DotA heroes.
Also, the game is only 40 bucks. Not 50-60. So yeah. Worth every penny. I just got it today, and have played 5 or so games, and i'm already hooked. I don't have anything bad to say about it. I haven't encountered any bugs, the gameplay is super fun, and it's only 40 bones... I've payed 60 bucks before for a game not even a fraction as good as this one.
