its a truly fantastic game thats fast fun and addictive... also Stardock/Impulse dont use any DRM or rubbish like that.
there are numerous offline modes were you can tailor the game to exactly what you want ie upto 4v4 AI , Death match or Capture and hold etc etc.. there are 8 different Demigods split into Assassin or Commander roles which basically means different gamestyles again.
the game takes time to fully understand its mechanics, at first you dont seem to be able to do much, but after a few plays it all comes together to make one of the best rpg strat games ever!
regarding online, its actually extremely good fun even against veteran players, so if your like me who usually doesnt attempt online in rts/rpg games due to not wanting my butt handed to me, let me assure you this doesnt happen in Demigod.
9/10 and worth your cash!
