RPG Vault writes: "The All-Father's unexplained disappearance means someone within his lineage must replace him in the Pantheon. This would mean ascending to true godhood, so while his descendants possess abilities and characteristics mortals view with awe, many yearn for the almost unimaginable power and authority this position entails. Each is prepared to earn it by proving his or her worthiness in combat. Since they know only a single champion can emerge, all know the trial ahead is enormously challenging. However, the eventual victor's reward will very easily justify the duress, hardship and risk in the ferocious battles to come.
Demigod is a cross-genre project in development at Gas Powered Games for publisher Stardock. Aimed at the first quarter of 2009, it's described as real-time tactical strategy with extensive role-playing elements. We'll be able to pursue glory with two types of characters. The Assassin-class options will be action RPG-like; we'll be in the thick of the arena battles, directly obliterating our adversaries' forces with our powers. Opting for one of the General alternatives will result in a heavier emphasis on strategy; we'll not only fight, but also build an army, lead it into combat, heal our troops, and weaken those of our enemies."
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Here’s how a StarCraft mod helped to shape the future of gaming.
I still haven't found a MOBA I can get into. Did LoL for awhile, but it was such a slow grind in terms of ranking up and getting money. DOTA 2 just scares me. Infinite Crisis was alright, but I lost interest in it pretty quickly.
"From mod to sensation" to over-saturation.
i dont like how all these companys are now trying to make mobas, the markets already been taken by lol and dota.
they should come up with something new instead of just copying.
GamesBeat recently compared the most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) titles such as League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, and Dota 2 to each other, but many other games in the genre are also worth checking out. Inside you’ll find a selection of MOBAs from the past, present, and future and the unique elements they have to offer.
