Demigod Reviews

Two more online reviews of Demigod are now available – one that’s pretty favorable and another that’s not so much.

The more enthusiastic of the two is at Gaming Nexus with a score of “B”:

Demigod has laser-focused gameplay that reaches for new ground without overreaching its ability. It indeed taps into a certain wavelength of the grind-loot-level of RPGs, but is stripped of all extraneous contraptions and forced dialogues. In terms of multiplayer gameplay alone, Demigod is a tough act to follow.

While the somewhat negative one is at Resolution Magazine with a score of 65%:

The action, strategy and role-playing aspects work very well together, and you certainly can’t fault Demigod for that. It provides a different experience to most other games and I applaud the innovation involved. It’s all very solid, but it feels like half a game, the multiplayer half, packaged and sold separately. The inclusion of a campaign, even a basic one, would have allowed Demigod to ascend. The entertainment is there, and each battle you fight will be different from the last, but it’s short-lived and shallow.

I want to see more games attempt what Demigod offers, I want to see innovation by the bucket load; but I also want to see a more complete game, an experience that feels like nothing is missing. Nice try, but divinity is only for the worthy.
