Demigod Pre-order

Oh, my, there are so many games being announced these days, there's only one problem remaining. In fact, three: not enough time to try them all, and - at least for some - not having a computer good enough to run them properly. Well, you can also say "not having the right console," that starts to become more of a reality with each new console exclusive game being released. Fortunately, Demigod is available only for Windows PC, so that should be all right...

Here's the official story of the game, because I couldn't tell you anything better to start with:

"Set in a magical world where gods walk among mortals, Demigod blends action, strategy and role-playing elements into a thrilling new experience. Select the Demigod that will lead your minions into battle and unleash the dogs of war against your rivals. Your Demigod will do whatever it takes in order to ascend to true godhood.

Once in the Arena, each Demigod will be joined by support troops that fight to the death as you struggle to seize key control points and slowly turn the tide of war in your favor. And your Demigod will level up during the course of each battle, becoming even more powerful as you unlock new abilities and powers.

It's a brutal conflict of Demigod versus Demigod, where the very ground beneath their feet will tremble and quake."

The big news is not that the game is coming in Spring, but that the limited beta test period has just started, and the game can be pre-ordered already! All you need to do is pre-order, and you can start testing the exclusive beta right away.

Even this way, we're talking about a limited time offer, which will expire on the 19th of September. The pricing is $44.95 for the digital download version, and $49.95 + S&H for the download + retail box one.
