AtomicGamer.com has published a preview of Demigod!
…” it's looking like GPG are going to have a hit on their hands with Demigod.”
“Demigod has a definite fantasy look, but it pulls from medieval and Japanese influences at the same time - you won't see the stereotypical type fantasy art here that you've probably been getting sick of.”
Demigod will make it onto store shelves, but much like how Valve set up Half-Life 2 and their other games since, this one is designed to actually run exclusively on Stardock's Impulse platform. The big thing here is that as with other games released by Stardock, this one will include no disc-based copy protection or draconic DRM, although you'll have to have a legit copy to get any of the game's updates. So far, the Impulse system for downloading, installing, and playing Demigod has gone very smoothly - and that's kind of an important thing to know if it's the only way to play the game. The release date is currently set for April 14th and word on the Stardock forums is that a demo will be released sometime after the game's launch. If you're interested in anything that ranges from Diablo to Warcraft to Heroes of Might & Magic to Supreme Commander, it's worth looking into Demigod - its unique mix of strategy, action, and RPG elements really is compelling.
Check out the full preview here.
