Demigod Preview

GameSpot is offering up another short preview of Demigod, this time based on what they learned about GPG’s strategy/RPG hybrid during the Atari Live press event in London.

Demigod is essentially an arena-based strategy game in which you’ll fight it out to earn your place in the pantheon of the gods. There are already eight gods–four light and four dark–and it’s up to you to have the swing vote on the council. Four of the gods you can play are assassins, and the developers claim that they play like the characters from a game such as Diablo. The other four are generals, and are more like something from Warcraft III. There will be more demigods and arenas released as downloadable content after release, although no pricing or release details have been given as yet.
