IncGamers: Demigod Review

IncGamers' Tim McDonald has a look at the latest PC RTS offering.

"You'd think that an RTS that essentially gives you one unit wouldn't be strategically or tactically solid, but it is. Other than your Demigod, you can improve your team in various different ways, too."

Wow.. Good review. Possibly a game to beat StarCraft's dominance?

[JonahNL]

I definitely wouldn't say that. Not only because it's an entirely different RTS, but also because SCII will be the best RTS ever! ;-) (Unless people return to SC in a week, which I can imagine happening.) =P

no i doubt it Starcraft has been reigning the RTS genre on the pc for 2 decades? i think. but Demigod deffenitly comes close

[Dorjan]

Wow! Nice review!

I really couldn't get my head around the concept until now. Cheers!

[Leord]

Yeh. That pic alone that's shown around the globe is quite epic.

[thetamer]

@ Leord. This isn't a StarCraft comparison. But I don't think StarCraft II is going to be as big as you think it will.

[Leord]

If you mean the "dominance" I mentioned, it's because StarCraft is already dominating the total RTS market anyway.

SC2 is another thing all together, but has enormous potential to beat everything. Like WoW, but RTS :)

[Cogo]

Dude, starCraft isn't the be all end all.

It's not the dominant RTS either.

[JonahNL]

I partly agree with you, even though SCII can fail to live up to its hype, I do think it has the potential to become the best RTS ever. Not only because of the quality Blizzard can deliver, but also because of the amazing balance, gameplay possibilities and endless replay value due to Blizzard's never-ending support!

Sounds like it's worth a look. Shame about the AI, though.

[Fyzzu]

To jump on the rickety bandwagon I don't think it really looks anything like Starcraft. Does look good though. Interesting ideas anyway!

[Leord]

It's obviously nothing like SC, I meant in total amount of gamer fans.

[Fyzzu]

I know, perhaps I should have said "to dismantle the rickety bandwagon" :)

[JonahNL]

It's TOTALLY different than SCII, but that's exactly the thing makes Demigod stand out in a wasteland filled with bad RTS-games.

[JonahNL]

Good read! I love Demigod so far! ^_^ It's one of the best RTS-games I've played in a long time. I was dying for something new and challenging. Oh boy, Demigod didn't let me down! The small RPG-elements make it a very polished and balanced game. Rook FTW!
