Blog Only for DotA Lovers....: New Game Demigod vs DotA Hands on Experience

What is Defense of the Ancients?

Defense of the Ancients (often referred to as DotA) is a custom scenario for Warcraft III The Frozen Throne based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for Starcraft The objective of the scenario is to destroy the opponents' "Ancient". The two teams' ancients are heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". As in role-playing-game, players level up their hero and use gold to buy equipment during the mission.

The scenario was developed with the World of Editor of Warcraft III Reign of Chaos , and was updated upon the release of the Warcraft expansion The Frozen Throne. There have been many variations of the original concept; currently, the most popular is DotA Allstars, which has been maintained by several authors during development.

Since its release, Allstars has become a feature at several worldwide tournaments, including Blizzard Entertainment’s BlizzCon and the Asian World Cyber Games, as well as the Cyberathlete Amateur and CyberEvolution leagues; Gamasutra declared that DotA was perhaps the most popular "free, non-supported game mod in the world". The variant is cited as an inspiration for the upcoming video game Demigod

New Game Demigod vs DotA Hands on Experience

What's Demigod?
Demigod is a video game developed by Gas Powered Games. The game is described as an action/RTS hybrid, significantly influenced by the Warcraft III custom map Defense of the Ancients, and borrows from both of those genres. The game gives the player the ability to choose certain heroes that rely on either their own power as a single unit or the power of creating multiple units.

Demigod launched with 8 demigods available and is expected to add 2 additional demigods a few months after release. There are two types of demigods available to the player. The Assassin type is made to be more of an anti demigod character that fights on its own. The General type is designed to be for RTS play as it can summon units to help fight alongside the General.

Gold and experience points are earned as the player defeats the enemy and capture "nodes". As the player's Demigod levels up, the player also gains access to new abilities through the respective talent tree. Each Demigod has its own unique talent tree with a blend of offensive, defensive and team focused abilities.
