Last week's Demigod video diary introduced players to many of the game's basic concepts. For this week's installment, lead designer Mike Marr is offering a closer look at playing a General in Demigod. Generals are distinct from Assassins in that they focus more on summoning and controlling minions rather than fighting solo. Since Generals don't have the same powerful abilities of Assassins, they have to be played a bit differently and Mike discusses how to balance and manage the Generals' additional responsibilities.
You may use your minions as scouts to seek out the enemy's weak points, or as a diversionary unit to keep the pressure off of your demigod, or even as a sacrificial screening force when you need to get your demigod out of a losing battle.
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!
Ya it's a pretty decent sale but The Taken King, MGSV, Fallout 4 soon... too many games.
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.
Why does Dota 2 scare you? Just wondering because imo its a fairly accessible game especially if you get some friends together to play with you. Also if you are just scared of sucking dont be, just have fun and ignore those who flame because if they are flaming then they probably suck too and are just trying to blame you for any of their mistakes. So just download it AND HAVE FUN!
"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.
