Hard to follow, but I feel better seeing the game in action, rather than just tidbits of info. Will have to wait and see if I’ll get it.

Demigod Gameply for Dummies:

Portals automatically spam units.
Theres something like a central HQ updateable (automatic defenses, type of units the protals will spawn).
You control a hero, will skills that have a cooldown, you win XP killing stuff, to unlock skills. So you move to flags, take flags. If other hero is on the flag, you try to kill him. If you take all the flags and destroy the enemy HQ, you win.

The video already shows all.

I vill be slapping some purple beer tokens on the altar of the internet for this when released – does look rather gnarly (no oak pun intended)
There are some (well one when I last looked) biopics of the demigods on the main site which was quite entertaining to read.

Mr. Brand: Kinda – half the Demigods are ‘Assassin’ types which are focused entirely around their own powers and presence on the battlefield, but the other half are Generals, who are still powerful, but also command a small force of their own that you control RTS style, in addition to the constantly spawned waves of troops that march out of your base.

The thing about Demigod is that you really just control your demigod. The other units just fight alongside you.

My ‘adjective’ girlfriend sat and watched me play Company of heroes once, she told me that it was practically a blur of visual noise and she had no idea what had just happened for most of the match.

So hearing you say that about the demigod video doesnt disuade me of demigods quality(the video wont play on my uni’s linux box). But i’ll be needing a demo to know if i want to spend space bux on this.

It only makes me want to dig out Sacrifice again.
That may be more a reflection of me than of Demigod though.

Yeah I couldn’t really tell which his units were and what he was actually doing. But we’ll see.

“I see a big white square instead of an embedded video.”

That’d be Brad.
