Rising to the Pantheon: Demigod Goes Gold

Published on April 6, 2009 By Island Dog In PC Gaming

Stardock announced today that the highly anticipated real-time action strategy PC game, Demigod, has gone gold. Demigod is set to hit store shelves in North America on April 14 and will also be available for download on Stardock’s digital distribution platform Impulse (www.impulsedriven.com). Pre-orders are now available on Impulse for both the standard edition ($39.95) and the collector’s edition ($49.95.)

Developed by renowned gaming studio Gas Powered Games, Demigod delivers an epic game experience by combining elements of its acclaimed strategy game Supreme Commander and its award-winning Dungeon Siege role-playing game series.

In Demigod, a god has fallen, leaving an opening in the Pantheon. Players take control of a Demigod, waging war in spectacular arenas against others to ascend to godhood.

Each battle takes place in an arena, where players earn gold and experience in battle which can then be used to acquire new abilities, learn magical spells, purchase better equipment and improve their faction’s Citadel with the goal to lay waste to the opposing faction.

Demigod makes use of Stardock’s Impulse Reactor which provides intelligent match-making, on-line tournaments, player skill ratings, and much more.

O man, you guys missed Vinraith vs. Everybody? It was a year ago and I still remember the epic curmudgeon threads

I didn't want to bring those up. Suffice it to say, not everyone likes every game.

Vinraith - waiting for the demo is a good call

Oh right, the Off Topic forum is visible on more than one board isn't it? I'm actually posting from the GC2 forum, I try to stay away from the Sins forums. The Frasers and I have... different views on how to handle customer criticism. I do my best to leave them alone as a result.

Unless money is a problem for this game, waiting for the demo is fine. However if you have a decent amount of cash to spend on a $40 game, get this one

Unless you (you-not SD-SD didn't tell me I should buy this game, you did) are going to give me my money back if I'm unsatisfied, I'll just wait for the demo, thanks. Based on what I know, it's not my type of game, but I'm willing to give it a shot-via a demo.

Whereas Sins is my type of game, as is GC2, and I wound up buying Sins even after I fought with the demo for several days simply trying to get it to install.

Obviously money is a problem with you (since you are asking for the $40 back from the game if you are unsastified by it), so yea, do what I reccomeneded - wait for the demo, thanks.

Looking forward to the release, and seeing the hard work that GPG and Stardock put into the final product.

Look forward to playing with the Torchbearer once more.
