Demigod is the first standalone commercial Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game, developed by Gas Powered Games and published by Stardock. It is a Follow the Leader of the Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III.The Excuse Plot: One of the Ancients has been thrown out of the pantheon, and now the others must find a new god to replace it. To determine this new god, several ill-begotten descendants of the old god must compete in a tournament to see who is the strongest. The winner will ascend to godhood. (The game, of course, is one set of the tournament.)In game, 2 teams start on opposite sides of an arena, with a Citadel, item shop, portal for reinforcements for their side to travel through, and a number of defensive buildings. The map also often has "flags" that can be captured by either team to control structures (like an artifact shop with very powerful and expensive items, for example), or provide bonuses to the controlling side. In each match, Demigods start at level 1 (or a level decided at the start), and must gain levels and gold over the game. Experience is provided by killing "reinforcements" (autonomous soldiers who spawn from portals, travel through the arena, and fight for their team), killing enemy Demigods, destroying defensive structures, and capturing flags. Several of these actions also supply gold, which can be used to buy items, purchase powerful team-wide upgrades at the Citadel, or other bonuses. Matches may have one of 4 victory conditions, chosen at the beginning, either destroying the enemy Citadel, destroying enemy fortresses, achieving a certain "war score" first, or getting a certain amount of Demigod kills. Destroying the enemy Citadel is an instant victory in any gamemode, but it is MUCH harder to take down in games where that's not the primary objective.The game was sold with 8 playable demigods, and 2 more have been added in a free patch. Demigods are divided into assasins and generals, "Assasins" being pure fighting demigods, and "generals" having the option through skills and items to control minions. The current demigods are as follows:Assasins:Rook: The Mighty Glacier of the group, he is literally a walking castle, with abilities based around towers and brute force.Regulus: The Archer. He uses a giant crossbow and mines to damage enemies from a distance.Unclean Beast: A monstrous creature, this demigod uses abilities related to poisons. Has a number of slowing skills and some direct damage. One skill, Ooze, requires life rather than mana.Torchbearer: An undead mage character. Can either Kill It with Fire, or Kill It with Ice, depending on stance.Demon Assassin: Added in a recent patch. A Fragile Speedster who can teleport around and swap places with opposing Demigods. Also the only one capable of getting natural chances to critical hits and evasion without equipment.Generals:Oak: A former guard, Oak in game appears as a large, empty suit of armor. Has abilities related to summoning spirits and protecting allies.Sedna: A former tribal girl riding a massive snow leopard. Has a number of healing skills, summonable yetis, and some other utility skills.Queen of Thorns: The Ms. Fanservice of the demigods. The Queen of Thorns has skills related to plants, as befits her name. She has two different stances, one oriented towards defensive abilities, one oriented towards damaging abilities.Lord Erebus: A Vampire lord, he has a passive aura that can Animate Dead. He also has a number of damaging abilities.Oculus: Added in a recent patch. A Squishy Wizard with several powerful lightening skills.This game provides examples of: | |
