ImTimogorgon's post on Demigod:<br/><br/>I got this game as a gift from a friend for Christmas. I'm told this is very similar to the Warcraft 3 mod Defense of the Ancients, but I've never played that so I can't really comment on any similarities. <br><br>The game is a mix of RTS and RPG. There are two teams and your objective is to destroy the other teams base. Throughout the map are several flags that teams can occupy that grant their side either stat bonuses, increased gold production, or portals that spawn waves of NPC controlled soldiers.<br><br>Each player picks either an assassin character (you control one character, but your abilities are typically more powerful) or a general who can command a group of minions. The characters seem to be pretty well balanced, and there's a lot of variety between each character so they each have their own feel and play style.<br><br>Over all, I really enjoy this game. I've played it with my friend several times as well as a few on-line matches with random people and I've had a lot of fun each time. Unfortunately, the community for this game is all but dead. There have been several times I've logged in to see that there were no open matches on-line to join and ended up just playing against the AI. From what I've read on-line, the game had a horrible launch with several game breaking bugs that chased many people away. It really is too bad, because now that the game is working it really is a great game. <br><br>I'd say wait 'til this games is on sale for cheap, then convince a friend or two to buy it with you so you'll have someone to play with.2014-05-13T06:09:31ZTimogorgon
