''Ever since I first heard about Demigod I have been excited, anxiously awaiting the full-versioned realization of the genre Defense of the Ancients invented, with powerful characters waging war on enemies while trying to destroy their enemy's base and defend their own against waves and waves of minions. When I saw that the developers would be at the Penny-Arcade expo I made sure to leave several timeslots open for attack, waiting until the perfect time to jump onto a demo station and give it a few minutes of my time.
The best description of Demigod I can give for anyone who hasn't played a game like it before is a strange, RTS-third person adventure hybrid. It has similar aspects of a shooter like Team Fortress 2, where the gameplay involves attack and defend strategy and team play, and other aspects more similar to a battlefield game like Star Wars: Battlefront, where non-player character enemies serve as barriers between yourself and your goal. Each level has several objectives to complete, like destroying an enemy's base and taking down their towers, and the enemies and opposing team need to defend their own base while trying to destroy their foes'.''
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Ya it's a pretty decent sale but The Taken King, MGSV, Fallout 4 soon... too many games.
Here’s how a StarCraft mod helped to shape the future of gaming.
I still haven't found a MOBA I can get into. Did LoL for awhile, but it was such a slow grind in terms of ranking up and getting money. DOTA 2 just scares me. Infinite Crisis was alright, but I lost interest in it pretty quickly.
Why does Dota 2 scare you? Just wondering because imo its a fairly accessible game especially if you get some friends together to play with you. Also if you are just scared of sucking dont be, just have fun and ignore those who flame because if they are flaming then they probably suck too and are just trying to blame you for any of their mistakes. So just download it AND HAVE FUN!
"From mod to sensation" to over-saturation.
i dont like how all these companys are now trying to make mobas, the markets already been taken by lol and dota.
they should come up with something new instead of just copying.
GamesBeat recently compared the most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) titles such as League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth, and Dota 2 to each other, but many other games in the genre are also worth checking out. Inside you’ll find a selection of MOBAs from the past, present, and future and the unique elements they have to offer.
