Stardock announced today that the demo for Gas Powered Games’ RTS game, Demigod (www.demigodthegame.com), is now available for download. The demo features online Internet multiplayer games, the Cataract map and four playable Demigods (Regulus, Rook, Sedna and Lord Erebus.) All of the gameplay modes (Conquest, Dominate, Fortress and Slaughter) in Demigod are available to play in the demo.
Demigod is the ultimate real-time tactical PC strategy game. For fans of strategic epic large-scale multiplayer battles, Demigod is irresistible.
Players will vanquish other would-be gods, gain levels and unlock the power of mystic artifacts as they battle for ascent to the Pantheon. Take control of an immensely powerful being and defeat your brethren in a series of epic arenas in order to ascend into the pantheon of the gods.
During the course of each battle, players gain experience, purchase equipment, learn magical spells, capture key resources and upgrade their Citadel while working to lay to waste the opposing faction.
Easy to play, hard to master, Demigod is available worldwide digitally via Impulse (www.impulsedriven.com) at the same price ($39.95) no matter where the person is located.
Download the demo now exclusively at FilePlanet.com!
Whoa. I've also heard the next patch is coming out today, is that true?
Time to give this finally a shot then. I doubt i'll buy it though, as i've gotten the impression this is a very MP focused game, but who knows
Very nice and all but I can't find it.
NVM
how does the demo work ?
are demo players in the normal public costum/pantheon area, where we are ?
or is there a "demo players only instance", where demo players can play againt each other ?
Demo players use a separate lobby, however you can freely join #demigoddemo in IRC, and you can install the demo alongside the full game if you want to play with some friends who are looking into the game.
Seriously? That's a whole heap of worthless.
The whole point of the demo and the aim of it according to Frogboy was to rekindle and unite the community.
I've already installed the game and have a lobby. I recommend good players(but no assholes) do the same and maybe play against AI at first and explain the game.
I don't think it would make much sense to have people whom are playing the Demo be in the same group as the pros and get roflstomped by them. That would turn people away from the game IMO.
I'll give this game a try. It sounds interesting, so a demo to see how it plays is a nice touch (although a little late).
Infinite mana has been fixed!
good to know !
I hope the demo will bring some new players into the game. Pretty cool that they can play it online.
Yay, well, eventually yay. I'll have to wait for the free period to download that six hundred megs, but at least I get to do a system test and see if it runs smoothly.
Fresh Meat!
Om Nom Nom Nom
Stardock, why Fileplanet? They make you wait for a long time. Distribute it on places like Filefront and Impulse!
It is on Impulse.
Before downloading the 600MBs, I wonder if the demo is strictly onllne mulitplayer, or can you play it against AI bots only?
Thanks for the info, thought about trying this game out.
You can play vs AI, but you'll do so via online play (i.e. you need to log in and use the custom game option).
It's only online multiplayer, which includes the bots you can add to your game.
Just dropping in to say to Frogboy that I hope single-player remains the (heavy) focus of elemental, considering how competitive play can so quickly ruin the fun of game (no explicit examples necessary =P).
On another note, I played the Demigod demo and it seems like a pretty fun game, but is it just me or is the map pretty plain compared to Dota's forests and ambushes teeming with monsters?
Great job getting this out SD/GPG! I've told several of my friends who were on the fence about picking this up. Hope this draws them and many more into the community.
Thanks for all the extra details, Kryo. I think I'll be installing this alongside of the game as well.
