Video Game Reviews of Demigod

Customer Review: Very Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars

I played this only one time, hoping it might be good because I love RTS games and it comes from the same people as Supreme Commander, it even used the same 3D engine. Once was enough to convince me that it isn't much fun. If you still want to buy it, I have an excellent copy for really cheap.

Description of Demigod

Revolutionary strategy/RPG hybrid that combines the character building of a role-playing game with the epic battles of a real-time strategy game. Choose one of nearly a dozen unique demigods each with their ownspecial skills, powers, and capabilities. Battle your way into the pantheon of the gods in a persistent singleplayer or multiplayer universe. Wage massive, earth-shattering battles across a series of awe-inspiring arenas. Seize key, strategic positions on the map and turn the tide against your enemy as you assail the enemy demigod's stronghold. Watch your demigod grow in power as they gain experience, level up, and brush aside hordes of enemy minions. One of the most eagerly anticipated games of the year with stunning graphics, seamless multiplayer, and compelling single-player experiences.
For gamers who love Real-Time Strategy (RTS) and Action Role-Playing Games (RPGs), Demigod offers a unique hybrid that brings new fun for fans of both genres. In order to become a god, you'll have to master two types of game play: building up a hero for single battles and controlling armies for an entire war.

The Best of Two Genres: Real-Time Strategy and Action RPG
Demigod allows you to control two types of demigods -- generals and assassins. When playing as an assassin, you'll have control of a warrior who gains experience and money as he kills enemies. You'll have the ability to upgrade weapons and items, and to learn spells, just like in an action RPG.

When playing as a general, you'll control allied forces, commanding them to attack where you want, just like in an RTS game. Allied creeps and minions continually enter through reinforcement portals, and as the general you direct them into battle.

The goal is the same whether you are playing as assassin or general: capture the enemy's control points. Each different general and assassin has his own unique set of skills and powers, and you'll need to learn how to use each one effectively against another.



Zoom in and out to see individual fights or the whole war. View larger.
Fantastic Graphics and Beautiful Art Style
Demigod features a beautiful art style that has a sense of whimsy. The game takes place on different maps, each featuring unique elements. Beautiful, exotic locations include a lava mine, waterfall temple, and more.

The monsters and creatures of the game are rendered in great detail, and observing a mass of them engage in battle is a thrilling spectacle. Angels, demons, and creatures both gigantic and tiny all inhabit the world at the same time, giving it a diverse and varied look. By zooming in and out of the map, you can see just how massive everything is. From a birds-eye view, you'll barely be able to see the movements of the small creatures, yet zoom in and you'll be a part of an epic battle. Depending on whether you're playing as a general or assassin, you'll make different use of the zoom levels.

Different game play Modes Provide Replay Value
Demigod has different game play modes including single-player, skirmish, and five-on-five multiplayer. Single player mode provides a compelling story line concerning the tournament to become the newest god.

Multiplayer mode provides many options: you can jump right into a game for instant gratification, or you can join in tournaments that allow you to carefully build up a character and upgrade him to your liking. Multiplayer games have different settings for players to tweak, such as the amount of gold income and achievement items that can be reached.
