Preis Update 12.05.25

Der Mix aus Echtzeitstrategie- und Rollenspiel orientiert sich an der wohl beliebtesten "WarCraft III"-Modifikation "Defense of the Ancients" und soll für spektakuläre Mehrspielerschlachten sorgen. In die greift ihr einzig mit gigantische Heldeneinheiten ein. Die eigentlichen Armeen übernimmt der Computer, die für eure Charaktere letztendlich eher als Kanonenfutter dienen.

Krieg der Götter

Licht gegen Dunkelheit: Ein ewiger Kampf!

Gameplay
“Demigod” ist ein MOBA, ein Spielkonzept, dass durch Spiele wie “Dota 2” oder “League of Legends” wohl groß geworden ist. Allerdings bleibt Demigod mit seiner kleinen Anzahl an Charakteren noch überschaubar. Wir führen also einen Helden auf dem Schlachtfeld und unterstützen die NPC Soldaten, die feindliche Festung zu zerstören. Dabei sind die Charaktere sehr gut balanced, auch wenn ich diesen einen blöden Vampir immer noch nicht leiden kann. Hmpf! Im Fokus liegt dabei die Kontrolle von Flaggen, die dem Team zusätzliche Kampfstärke liefert und mithilfe von Gold lässt sich nicht nur der eigene Charakter, sondern auch die eigene Armee aufbessern.

Story
“Demigod” ist schon ein wenig älter und man muss sich mal überlegen, dass die großen MOBA Vertreter damals noch am Anfang standen. Das Spiel hatte durchaus das Potenzial, der ganz große Hit zu werden, auch wenn die Konkurrenz natürlich mittlerweile über mehr Inhalt verfügt. Leider war das Marketing für das Spiel einfach etwas flau und es ist so immer ein Geheimtipp geblieben.

Grafik/Sound
Klar, ein paar Jahre hat es schon auf dem Buckel, dennoch sieht es noch akzeptabel aus. Außerdem bringt Demigod seinen ganz eigenen Grafikstil mit, der zu dem Götterszenario passt.
Soundtechnisch klingt das Spiel auch sehr kräftig und wenn man epische Musik hört, während man mit einem riesigen Turm auf die Feinde zustürmt, dann fühlt sich das schon ganz gut an. Obendrauf gefallen die Sprecher einfach sofort!

Fazit
„Demigod“ hat leider keine aktive Community mehr und die Server sind ziemlich tot. Ich habe es persönlich immer auf LAN-Parties gespielt und wir hatten dabei stets unseren Spaß. Zu diesem Zweck kann ich es dementsprechend auch super empfehlen, ansonsten lohnt sich der Kauf vermutlich nicht mehr wirklich.

Halbgötter sagen dir nicht so zu? Du gehst lieber in die Vollen? Dann schau doch mal in meine Steamgruppe rein, wo dich noch viele weitere Reviews erwarten.

Das Spiel ist ganz nett. Die Demigods sind Variantenreich und Abwechslungsreich. Leider ist der SP von einer dummen KI geprägt und der MP nicht sonderlich belebt.

Zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort.

Oder einfacher, zu fortschrittlich für seine Zeit. Denn 2011, gab es noch keine MOBAs mit solch einer Grafik und einer solchen spielerischen Tiefe. Geschweige denn eine Community die überhaupt von diesen Spielen wusste. League of Legends hat bei alle den Anfängern erst später Einzug erhalten, in diesem Fall zu spät für Demigod. Schlechtes Marketing hat wohl auch den Durchbruch verhindert, ansonsten würden heute vielleicht alle Demigod spielen und nicht LoL.

Ich selbst spielte LOL seit der Closed Beta, HoN seit der Closed Beta, Dota 1 & Dota 2. Ich bin ein großer MOBA Fan, deshalb habe ich auch Demigod gleich entdeckt und getestet. Und es war super, innovativ und erfrischend anders.

Leider hat der Publisher es einfach nicht geschafft dieses wunderbare Spiel angemessen zu vertreten. Updates standen lange aus, neue Helden kamen erst nach über einem Jahr. Mittlerweile würde ich behaupten es ist Online ausgestorben. Es ist sehr schade, dass Stardock aka Gas powered Games, diesen Schützling so verhungern ließen.

Trotzdem! Es gibt einen Lan Modus, es ist ein riesen Spaß. Easy to learn, hard to Master.

Wenn Du einen netten Abend mit Freunden planst, dann pack dieses Spiel mit rein!

Eines meiner absoluten Lieblingsspiele. Jetzt endlich auch bei Steam.
Nicht nur als Einzelspieler macht es wahnsinnig viel Spaß.
Der Multiplayer gerade mit Freunden ist wirklich sehr unterhaltsam.
Schade, dass es nicht noch mehr Karten gibt. Wenn man öfter spielt hätte man gerne mehr Auswahl als nur 8.

The graphics and gameplay are vibrant and fluid.

Unfortunately, it does not have a single player campaign and you are unlikely to find a game in multiplayer.

I don't know why, but i'm having fun with this game. I guess the early MOBA-Jank, before moba standards became a norm, probably helps with that. Keep in mind, more recent Nvidia drivers messed up the game. Its still playable, however, the mouse cursor is buggy as a result of said drivers. If you don't move the cursor, the game will run smoothly, but the second you move it, the game beings to stutter. It doesn't make it unplayable, but it might be enough to irritate you.

A shame it came out before MOBA became big, and the fact its a paid MOBA game when most, if not all, MOBA are usually free.

A broken product

Even with community patches game is a mess. AI randomly stops playing. Game balance is non existent.

It is the only moba where... heroes can dive into nexus and be only slightly annoyed by turrets. They can easily heal themselves to full. Teleport out themselves out of a battle.

It is the only moba where... trying to damage enemy hero is meaningless. You can dps him for all eternity, you will do slightly more damage than a minion to the point it is not even worth it. Game is made solely on late game scaling where some generals simply get insane. Mostly not because of their own kit or build, but due to getting percentage bonus from minions.

It is the only moba where... early to mid game does not matter. Turrets have insane amounts of health and can be cheaply improved even more. Trying to rush opponents with offensive minions only results in feeding them. You can destroy few towers if you are lucky, out of several layers of defence. In a grand scheme of things, it is nothing as turrets do little damage and can soak up a lot of damage. Late game revolves solely by coming in massive waves of creeps and overwhelming enemies. You on the other hand spend first half of a game doing pretty much very little. Just standing and soaking and constantly recapturing flags. Anything else like ganking would see you quickly falling of xp race and becoming useless.

Pacing is not fine, it is atrocious. There is very little to do. Heroes are imbalanced between each other. Some can just kill other heroes while good portion of a roster simply doesn't have neither dps or abilities to defend themselves. Assassins can just go past all towers and kill them. Game is a complete mess from gameplay perspective. From technical side, game can't handle alt-tab. It always has a massive lag spike during first blood. Some heroes are locked away from a player for no explained reason. It lacks character, heroes are literally just saying 1 phrase.

Being the first did not translated into being better

Even if it was the first commercial moba, it doesn't mean that it was good. There is a good reason why there isn't any dedicated following for this game and why nobody remembers it. It is a primordial moba game one who builds on previous mod experience by improving it in every way. However, it does not improve it enough and the things which it added to be unique are unrefined and ultimately takes away from the experience.

Even back in 2009, I had played League of Legends which was vastly superior. It had working wave mechanics, working turret mechanics, a lot more dynamic gameplay via ganking and jungle. Heroes were a lot more responsive. Leveling was a lot more meaningful. This game tries to be a lot more strategic and focus on overall long term team strategy. However, that is not exciting. Creating strategies which would give you 1000 more gold after 10 minutes than your opponent is not an exciting gameplay. Getting 10% more turret damage is not an exciting gameplay. Game is too slow, too tedious, too unresponsive.

Conclusion

Even with community support this game is an unfinished products. Developers had screwed themselves with a poor launch, poor monetization model. They also did not had resources to provide content and longevity which realistically only online game would need in order to keep players engaged. That is more, its own mechanics do not work. It is not more fun to play, it is inferior to its competitors in most ways. Even if it was a first, it is a game which is rightfully forgotten by history as an insignificant stepping stone to modern mobas.

Enjoyed this game in 2009 and happy to have it back on Steam. Fun to play. Happy to see no compatibility issue with my ultra-wide display / Windows 10.
At a certain age, from time to time you want to be distracted from your daily life or shed some pressure from work but don't want to get addicted to those MMO titles. Demigod could work well in that case. A game typically lasts 40 minutes, which could be very intense and/or fun.

Demigod

Pros-

#1.Fun MOBA / RTS game

#2.Multiple Demigods to pick from

#3.The single player experience on a hard enough difficulty

#4.Some reviews claim we can play a LAN version with friends

#5.You can make the game much harder or easier

Cons-

#1.Graphics looking old

#2.DRM makes it a pain to play the game for first time or on a new computer.You will need to open a stardock account

Once you get past this it is no longer an issue and it ran fine on windows 10.

#3.Online multiplayer is dead

As I said some reviews claim we can play a LAN version with friends though.

#4.No story

Single player content is just skirmish with the computer

The Bottom Line -

I like Demigod even just even just to kill an hour with bots.They should of made the game free on steam because it would of really helped the popularity and had DLC.

I like Demigod more than Dota 2.I just could never get into that.

If you interested in trying it wait for it to go on a 75% off sale and that should be around $3 with tax.

I hope a new version of the game is made with 2022 graphics.

The first commercially available game in the MOBA genre is an example to be forgotten due to some serious problems that simply cannot be ignored or overlooked.

Positive:
- Much of the artwork pertaining to the Demigods is interesting, inspired by horror-fantasy conventions that still manage to be unique on their own.

Neutral:
- Match options are aplenty, even though they do not improve the overall enjoyment of the game due to its other major faults.

Negative:
- The publisher requires the user to create a Stardock account even for the single-player offline modes.
- There is no tutorial of any kind.
- Several bugs are immediately noticeable even on the first match. Pathfinding is a serious issue, as both Demigods and minions sometimes get stuck at around different objects on the maps. The artificial intelligence is extremely faulty, as Demigods controlled by artificial intelligence sometimes simply stop playing (they just stay in place and do nothing for no apparent reason) for several minutes.
- The controls feel imprecise and the camera movement feels very floaty.

Overall rating: 1.5/5.0

Still love this game, had it on DVD when I was younger, still come back to this every now and then to play a few singleplayer games or play with my wife against the AI.

Game is 12 years old but still looks beautiful and the pacing is just right, none of this ADHD stuff you see in dota, LoL or that kind of shite.

Also for you people calling it a clone, perhaps you should stop talking trash, this was released before LoL and HotS did, the only inspiration it could've had were WC3 custom maps like dota and they took a different direction.
