There is alot to say about this new RTS-style game by Gas Powered Games/Stardock. It doesn`t give a good impression, as it`s very broken. It`s supposed to be a multiplayer-oriented game, yet the multiplayer barely works! It wasn`t all bad, as Stardock is slowly fixing the multiplayer so that it will work.
This game also follows a new genre of RTS. It`s not your standard base and unit building RTS. It`s inspiration rather comes from DoTA, or Defense of The Ancients, which was a Warcraft III mod of a very high caliber. It`s more of a multiplayer-arena combat game. You choose one of eight characters, which are called "Demigods". You then do battle on one of eight different arenas, which are each tactically different. The very basic story for the game is that there is an open seat in the pantheon of upper gods, and the eight Demigods must battle to see who gets the big chair.
If you are the kind of RTS player who is into deep and big stories, this is not going to be the game for you. The only singleplayer content is a skirmish mode and a tournament. The AI is actually a bit challenging, surprisingly. I highly reccomend trying it out before going online when you have no idea what to do. The controls for Demigod are pretty simple. The basics are easy. Most of the game is played with just the right mouse button, which issues move and attack orders. After a few games, you`ll probably get the feel of the game.
With that said, that is all there really is to this "innovative" RTS.
My score is a 7/10.
It's a fun little game, agree that you have to play single player skirmish before venturing online though or you'll be hammered! Score seems about right too, it's a shame there aren't more arenas and Demogods to play, which is one of the main downsides for me!
