Demigod released!
Fight for Your Place in the
Pantheon with Gas Powered Games’ New Real-Time Action Strategy PC Game –
Stardock announced today that its
much anticipated PC real-time action strategy game, Demigod is now available for
purchase at most retail outlets in North America as well as available worldwide
digitally via Impulse at the same price ($39.95) no matter where the person is
located.
Developed by renowned gaming studio
Gas Powered Games, Demigod lets players take control of an immensely powerful
being whose goal is to defeat his brethren in a series of epic arenas in order
to ascend into the pantheon of the gods. During the course of each battle,
players gain experience, purchase equipment, learn magical spells, capture key
resources and upgrade their Citadel while working to lay waste the opposing
faction.
Demigod battles take place in
spectacular environments that are visually stunning and yet still run well on
relatively older hardware thanks to a new technology developed by Gas Powered
Games that optimizes the way rendering is executed on most video cards.
“Demigod in many ways captures the
combined spirit of two hit Gas Powered Games titles – Supreme Commander and
Dungeon Siege,” said Brad Wardell, president & CEO of Stardock. “In Demigod, the
player controls a massively powerful unit who in some ways is like the commander
in Supreme Commander except here, like in Dungeon Siege, the character can
purchase equipment, buy items, and go up in level as he gains experience to
access more powerful skills.”
In single player, Demigod provides
both a skirmish mode for individual battles as well as a tournament in which
players choose a Demigod and compete against other Demigods controlled by the
computer to gain the most favor points with the gods in order to ascend.
In multiplayer, players can compete
in online skirmishes in which matches players together based on their skill and
experience or participate in the Pantheon, a persistent online tournament in
which players choose a faction and earn favor points to through victory in the
arena. Wins, losses, experience and much more is available.
Demigod is also the first PC title
to make full use of Stardock’s new development platform, Impulse Reactor which
provides Demigod with its in-game community features (friends, chat,
tournaments, matchmaking, and more).
Like all Stardock games, the retail
version of the game contains no DRM or copy protection. It includes Impulse to
allow users to update to the latest version or even re-download the entire game.
Players can install the game on multiple computers via Impulse without a hassle.
