Demigod

[Morthor]

Thought some of you might be interested in this. Stardock's new game, it looks pretty awesome especially the RPG part.

trailer: http://www.stardock.com/vidplayer/vids/dg.html

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.

Standing in your path are cunning and ferocious opponents that are controlled by either a sophisticated AI system, or by other players via the Internet. Both single- and multiplayer offer a persistent universe where your Demigod uses the spoils of victory to draw closer to ascension, thwart an enemy's attempt at ascension or even acquire powerful items that can be unleashed in the next battle.

I'll definitely be giving it a shot.

I was reading about it... to be honest it looks incredibly fun at first, but there it doesn't seem like there's much to the game, and it would become repetetive and boring.

[Selzi]

I looked at the URL and I was like... WTF? From the makers of BootSkin and WinCustomize of which I use?! That's improbable!

And to my surprise. Wow.

Yeah, maybe. But Sins of a Solar Empire was the same as you described and I'm still glad I bought it.

[Irodim]

It sounds like it has potential.

[TubeSock]

The name makes it sound good.

You can stop right there, buddy.

[Simmy]

Yeah, I'm pretty geeked about this game already.

Not planning on picking it up. Looks like another run of the mill rpg.

I watched a live demonstration at PAX last weekend. If you like DOTA, I'd buy this game. If you don't, I'd stay away from it, since it looks to be an almost exact replica. Literally, it looked basically the same. The level design, the size of the heroes compared to the units, the way the game was played. Everything.

Looks cool

From what I gather, it's not like conventional RPGs at all: the 'matches' are shorter, and it's like a tournament style game online but with strategy.

[TubeSock]

I'm definately not getting it. Too simple, no freedom.

Still, it's just kill guys for more loot to kill more guys to get more loot to kill more guys etc etc etc.

I wouldn't pay 50 euro for a dota copy. Especially when I can get wc3+expansion for just 20 euro.

Sounds like DOTA and I didn't even click the link yet. We'll see if it compares.

I'm in beta. Does it have NDA on it I usually click shit fast so I don't read this kind of stuff. If it doesn't I could tell you how it plays.
