Personal review

Although lauded as tactical strategy game, this has less of that than games like Team Fortress 2.

Official description

A GOD HAS FALLEN

The all father has vanished, creating an opening in the pantheon. To fill the void, Demigods from across from the mortal world must wage war against one another in a bid to ascend to true godhood.

Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements. Choose from several Demigods, each poised for battle with their own unique capabilities and awe-inspiring powers. Vanquish other would-be gods as you gain levels, increase in power, unlock the power of mystic artifacts and slowly battle your way closer to joining the Pantheon.

Standing in your path are cunning and ferocious opponents that are controlled by either a sophisticated AI system, or by other players via the Internet. Both single- and multiplayer offer a persistent universe where your Demigod uses the spoils of victory to draw closer to ascension, thwart an enemy's attempt at ascension or even acquire powerful items that can be unleashed in the next battle.

The combination of awesome gameplay, incredible graphics and pulse-pounding action means that Demigod is infinitely replayable. You'll keep coming back again and again as you valiantly try to reach the Pantheon and bask in the glory of your final ascension.
