It’s all out war for the ultimate prize!
Some key points that this game offers:
- Eight Demigods to choose from
- Strong RPG Elements
- Capture and Hold
- Gorgeous scenery with a Cinematic flair
Gameplay & Controls:
The control layout for Demigod is pretty standard, however, if you feel the need for it, you can rebind the keys to your liking. It is a MOBA after all so that MMO mouse of yours can come quite in handy here.
The game does not have a massive story line or single player campaign, instead, it focuses heavily on PvP. In no way is this a bad thing, games like this tend to forgo most of these features in favour of focusing on the multiplayer aspects.
This is something that has been done quite beautifully and Demigod is the proof of that! At its core, this is a MOBA, but it has very in-depth RPG mechanics that make Demigod stand out from others like it. These RPG mechanics are quite specialized, every Demigod has their own skill trees and abilities, that allows you to play and build the ultimate Demigod. There is a variety of gear and other items that can massively improve your odds of success throughout a battle.
Demigod is all about strategy and tactical choices. At its core, you need to seize ground to increase your team’s power whilst decreasing the other team’s power. Every arena has you starting with a few buildings and a portal. Portals spawn’s mortal allies that automatically follow determined paths towards the enemy. They will fight to the death against any enemy in its path, be it an enemy unit or building.
As you lay siege to your enemy, your War Rank is increased. As your War Rank increases you unlock higher tier upgrades. These upgrades range from increased hit points on your buildings, to extra soldiers with each wave.
It is all out war and the power lies with you and your Demigod. The ultimate power is already in your hands, merely unleash it upon your enemies.
Graphics:
More than just beautiful! It is like watching a live-action movie of the game. The colour scheme for each arena was brilliantly chosen. They help set the tone and atmosphere for every battle.
Arena design is another aspect that has been created pretty decently. We have a variety of Arena’s to choose from. Each of these comes in its own unique size and shape, which makes the arena a fun and unique experience.
Character models were created very well. Each Demigod doesn’t just look unique but represent their own character type and class. They all have their own abilities and animated scenes which further adds to the uniqueness that Demigod has to offer.
Under the settings panel, we have a few options to customize how the game runs on our system.
Sounds:
A rather fantastic soundtrack is waiting for you. It helps sets the tone of every fight and thoroughly enhances the experience. There is plenty of background sounds present which does the job of bringing the game to life perfectly.
They chose the perfect actor for the Narration work. He brings the game to life in a rather unique and memorable way. You can’t help but listen in awe as he speaks!
Replayability:
Demigod is a MOBA, it is all about replaying it, to improve your skills or to simply have fun. Even though it is a multiplayer game, you can still play it solo against the AI.
Demigod offers Online gameplay, LAN, and then Skirmish modes, so the fun will only stop when you want it to stop!
MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Spoilers Ahead:
Quite brilliant in its own right! Demigod is beautiful, it is fun and it is memorable. The true joy here is playing it with a group of friends. It makes the experience that much more memorable and enjoyable. Whether you are playing against other friends or some random players from the internet.
Even though It can be played solo in singleplayer, it is best played with others. It is more fun that way. That is what Demigod is all about. The little intro video that the game offers is beautifully done and sets a grand opening for the game.
When it comes down to the numbers, Demigod is a fantastic game that will keep you and your friends busy for quite a while.
