  • gameplay
    110 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Demigod is a mix of strategic team-oriented mechanics and traditional MOBA elements, featuring unique character classes and vibrant graphics. While some players appreciate the depth of strategy and the ability to upgrade troops and capture points, others criticize the gameplay for being slow, repetitive, and lacking balance among characters. Overall, it offers a fun experience for casual play, but may not satisfy those seeking a more dynamic or competitive environment.

    • “The maps are beautiful and the gameplay is very interesting with a TF2 team style (medic, tank, sniper, assassin, turrets, etc.) if played correctly.”
    • “Very fun and team-oriented gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay was, and to me, still is, slightly ahead of the MOBA curve in its own way, such as being able to upgrade your main citadel to buff your creep waves and the like.”
    • “For a game, you might only get 3-5 hours of gameplay (if you're lucky) before you get bored.”
    • “Game is a complete mess from a gameplay perspective.”
    • “The gameplay is just...bland.”
  • graphics
    77 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and high quality, often described as stunning and above average for its genre, even when compared to more recent titles. While some users noted that the graphics may appear dated, many agree that they still impress and enhance the overall gameplay experience. The vibrant visuals, unique character designs, and detailed maps contribute to a visually appealing and enjoyable game.

    • “The graphics are beautiful.”
    • “Pretty much everyone agrees that the graphics and animation are stunning, and they are.”

    • “Graphics and videos were extremely misleading in the previews.”
    • “Graphics looking old.”
    • “I hope a new version of the game is made with 2022 graphics.”
  • story
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for lacking a traditional campaign or narrative, with many players noting that while there is rich lore and unique backstories for characters, the absence of a structured story mode detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, some players appreciate the engaging character designs and the thematic setting of demigods battling for supremacy, which adds depth to the gameplay. Overall, while the lore is compelling, the lack of a cohesive story mode leaves many feeling unsatisfied.

    • “Each hero has a unique story, and they all seem to avoid the commonplace; it's quite easy to feel empathy for some characters (such as Rook - literally a moving castle).”
    • “While there are admittedly only 10 gods, and all there ever will be as far as we can tell, they all have a huge amount of thought and love put into their designs and backstory.”
    • “The environments are beautifully realized in scale and really work well with the story, as various demigods are battling it out, and the victor will become a god and rule over the others.”
    • “It has no campaign, no story, just lore.”
    • “There is no explanation on how to play, no single player story or campaign and multiplayer is dead.”
    • “No story mode even though they give everything a backstory including the game itself.”
  • music
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is consistently praised for its quality and suitability, enhancing the overall atmosphere and gameplay experience. Reviewers highlight the soundtrack as a standout feature, complementing the engaging characters and polished graphics, making it appealing even to those unfamiliar with the genre. Overall, the music contributes significantly to the game's immersive and enjoyable qualities.

    • “The music is great, the characters are interesting and varied, and it's a challenge, albeit a fun one, to win.”
    • “It has great atmosphere, pace, music, characters, and a nice balance of strategy and fighting.”
    • “All around a well polished game with great graphics and soundtrack.”
  • stability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely compromised, with numerous bugs causing frequent freezes, particularly when moving the mouse, and persistent loading screen issues. Many players report it as unplayable due to glitches and balance problems, although some community-created patches have improved the experience. Overall, significant stability issues need to be addressed before the game can be recommended.

    • “The game can be okay, but there is a bug where when the mouse moves, the entire game freezes (Windows 10, AMD Threadripper with 64 GB RAM and NVMe). This bug needs to be fixed before it can be recommended.”
    • “I could never get this game to work; it's very buggy.”
    • “Can't even play the game; it freezes or stays on the loading screen.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the consensus suggests a low replayability factor, with ratings as low as 1/10.

    • “It is immensely replayable and remains both fun and challenging.”
    • “Good replayability.”
    • “The replayability factor is a 1/10.”
    • “To summarize, although it is truly fun for a while, it eventually bores out, since there isn't enough replayable content.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has been criticized for its poor implementation and lack of downloadable content (DLC), which some view as a cash grab. However, it is noted that the game avoids the pitfalls of many modern free-to-play titles that rely heavily on in-game transactions.

    • “Developers had screwed themselves with a poor launch and a poor monetization model.”
    • “There is also no DLC, another cash grab that is often seen in more modern games.”
    • “At the very least, it is not subject to the cash grab of many of the modern so-called 'free to play' games that are rife with in-game transactions that add up quickly.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is derived from the irony of its well-designed heroes being part of a surprisingly small and costly roster, which players find amusing in contrast to contemporary gaming standards.

    • “Each hero is very well thought out, but by modern standards, the roster is hilariously small.”
    • “Hilariously expensive.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
