DoTA-like Game?

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.



The game works the same as DoTA. You choose and level-up your Demigod(hero), creeps spawn automatically, Goal is to destroy the enemy's Citadel. You can play the game on a single/skirmish mode or multiplayer LAN/Online mode(heven't really tried the multiplayer mode yet).

Tried running the game on systems that have these hardwares(as stated above)but the game didn't run as smooth as i expected. So I would recommend to at least have a dual core processor (2.2ghz+), at least 2gb of RAM and a graphics card that have at least 512mb/256bit(and of course it should support pixel shader 3, or the game will not run, you can check the card specification by visiting their respective manufacturer's website).

On my opinion, the game might look good but the gameplay isn't. Game is kinda boring, and maps are not really that strategic, unlike in DoTA where you can take advantage of the terrains, hide in trees, use blindspots, farm from neutral creeps etc. Let's wait and see, hopefully they come up with a patch that will make the game more interesting.
