"That looked awesome. What's this game all about?"

"Commercial DOTA ripoff."

Harsh, but semi-accurate. It's a Strategy/ActionRPG (heavily) inspired by Defense of the Ancients, a Warcraft III custom scenario/map where you take control of one Hero unit and try to destroy the other team's "Ancient." NPC AI-controlled little units called "creeps" spawn and go about their business. Heroes gain XP and money from killing these, with which they buy new equipment and level up and get more powerful abilities. In this game a lot of that carries over. You try to destroy the other team's Stronghold and you still (mainly) control one Hero unit, but Demigod tries to take the idea a bit further. While largely you still control one Hero unit (a demigod), but there's two types of them. Assassin types and General types. With General demigods you control one unit, but that one unit can build some special units to give simple orders to of their own, not relying solely on the NPC spawned ones. With assassin ones you only control that single demigod.

That's really all that's known at the moment. They've admitted that DOTA is a heavy influence but are assuring folks that it won't just be DOTA Clone + budget.

LOL that sounds EXACTLY like dota

will def try it out

Has anybody played any League of Legends (http://leagueoflegends.com/)? I believe that is in beta as well - at least I signed up for one...don't know if it started yet though. Supposedly the original DotA creator is on that team, and I am interested in seeing how these two games compare.

Demigod beta 3 is out. This is the final beta and last week to preorder to get into the beta.

For those who already preordered, go download the game now!

LoL isn't in beta phase yet, so most likely it will get release in 2010. Demigod is coming out 4/14/2009. There's enough room in the market for both games.

 

[blitz64]

Today 2/24 is the last day to get into the beta by preordering. After today, you'll need to wait until release day 4/14/2009 to play the game.

So far it's a really fun game. It's like dota lite but still as much fun.

Another RTS for PC. Color me surprised.


Does look nice though.

It's much more of a DotA like game than an RTS.

so vague is your definition, the equivalent would be "another action game for consoles. who could've guessed?"

RTS is a little more specific than action, but yea, you could replace it with 'another FPS for 360, who would've guessed!' or 'another on-rails for Wii who would've guessed!'

 

[blitz64]

But it's not an rts, it's just that people don't know what category to put the game in. For those who are not familiar with it, it's like diablo 2 pvp. Or for more recent games, it's like WoW battlegrounds but top down control style.

For example, in Demigod, there's a char called Torch Bearer. He has many spells similar to diablo2 sorcerer. The blizzard spell and frost spell are there.

You control only 1 char the whole game like in diablo2. You get to level up like in diablo2 and get items.

rts is barely more specific than action, given your application anyway. that's my point. if demigod is an rts, then fallout 3 might as well be an fps.

you could call it a strategy game, and i'd tell you that "strategy game" is no more specific than "action game". which you could also call this.

I've had this game bought in beta mode for the past four fucking months. :lol

RELEASE IT ALREADY!

 

[mentalfloss]

pfft whatever guys.

you guys keep dreaming it's not an rts. i will sit here and just laugh at you all.

Spoiler

runs

I also think it's ready for release. It's only less than 2 months to go. Hopefully this game will do well, maybe better than supreme commander since it uses the supcom engine.

Demigod beta 3C just came out today. This one should improve on the network connection. The game looks like it's on schedule to come out next month.

Yes, Demigod is similar to dota. Just 14 days left until the game comes out.

 

[Teknopathetic]

It is "like" DOTA in that you control a hero, there are creeps, and there's a big base to destroy at the end. It changes a lot of things from DOTA that if you're a hardcore DOTA player, you may not like (For example, no last hitting/denying).
