Demigod

The all father has vanished, creating an opening in the pantheon. To fill the void, Demigods from across from the mortal world must wage war against one another in a bid to ascend to true godhood.

Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements. Choose from several Demigods, each poised for battle with their own unique capabilities and awe-inspiring powers. Vanquish other would-be gods as you gain levels, increase in power, unlock the power of mystic artifacts and slowly battle your way closer to joining the Pantheon.

--------------------------------------

So that's the game info. It's a Defense of the Ancients (Warcraft 3 mod) style game where you pick a hero and try to destroy the opposing side's citadel. There's other kinds of modes in Demigod too, but citadel killing is the main one. Just like in DotA you have multiple paths with NPCs and towers (lots of them in Demigod) and shops for items. There's also multiple maps instead of one. Instead of Warcraft 3 style levelling up you get something closer to D2/WoW talent trees (1 point per level). You can also buy stuff for your citadel or extra units.

I just got it and it seems pretty awesome. It only costs $40 / 30€ if you buy digital copy off Impulse.
Anyone else got it? We should totally play together sometime! I haven't had time to test out online play yet myself so no sure how it works.

I guess it looks ok, but something about it sorta ticks me off; I think I associate the gameplay too much with that of an MMORPG, or something close...


Either way, I keep hearing there's way too few content in this game for it to be worthwhile. Though, to be honest, I've no clue myself.

Demigod is more of a FPS style game than RPG/Strategy when it comes to content. The focus is on gameplay and skill, not in the amount of shit you can do.

I heard of this from some really big piracy thing revolving around it, specifically 120000 verifications, 1800 are legit (this is after initial release). There was no DRM either. Despite this they say they're actually successful now.

Since it's Stardock i'll give it a go.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

I heard the match making is terribly awful, and there are concerns of replayability.

Personally, after getting burned on how terrible Dawn of War 2 multiplayer is/was; I'm going to need a demo before forking over cash.

I got the game at launch.  It's a lot of fun, but I have to play mostly on GameRanger because the connectivity issues are too severe.  Supposedly that's being fixed sometime this week via a patch.
