It's been well documented that Demigod has been having some server issues.  And while the game should be about up to snuff at this point, perhaps you are just fed up with things.  That's where GameRanger comes in.  Never heard of it?  According to the GameRanger team it's the longest running multiplayer service, having launched on the Mac back in 1999.  

Demigod launched last month for the PC, and since that time the gaming experience hasn't been very pleasant for players.  The game was plagued with a broken street date which caused a cataclysm of problems including busted servers, and overload of pirates (the illegal kind, not the yarr kind), and a host of other issues.

Perhaps it's a bit ironic, perhaps a bit fitting, but on the day the Pirate Bay Trial Guitly Verdict was handed down Gas Powered Games has addressed some of the issues plaguing Demigod.  If you've picked up the game recently and tried to play online, you may have noticed that...well it's not working.  At least not very well.  The reason behind this?  Pirates - and I don't mean the Somalian kind.

After a frowned upon breach of street date by Gamestop, Stardock.com has decided to release Demigod a day early for download to legitimate shoppers.  

Stardock has sent word that their co-op-ish RTS Demigod has gone gold and will be available for download via their Impulse service and retailers on April 14th.

If you are looking forward to the upcoming RTS/RPG Demigod, then you are going to need to get on Stardock's Impulse service.  Similar to Steam, Impulse is a digital marketplace and community platform for gamers to buy games and play online.

Gas Powered Games has released a handful of new screenshots for Demigod, their 5 player co-op RTS/RPG game for the PC.  The new screens give players an idea about the interface of the game.

You've read the interview, you've seen the screens - now watch the walk through!  Gas Powered Games has released a short walk through of Demigod with the game's producer Brad Wardell.

See that big Demigod with the giant hammer?  He's the Rook, and he's going to lay the smack down on those little dudes.  If his hammer doesn't smash them, the hundreds of arrows coming out of his face surely will finish the job.

We still don't know too much about Demigod, but we did have some hands on time with it back during PAX.  We came away impressed with the Diablo-ish RPG action combined with an RTS style game.  

One of the surprise games of the show for me was a little PC title from Stardock and Gas Powered Games called Demigod.  I've been loosely following the title for some time, and of course when I saw it had co-op, my interest picked up.  The one turn off for me was the fact I thought it was an RTS, something that's not exactly my favorite genre.  Turns out, it's anything but. Demigod is actually something closer to a Diablo than say a Warcraft.  Sure the screen is filled with hundreds of troops at a time, but those troops are directly under your control.  Instead you control a demigod, and your goal is to turn the tide of the battle by helping those troops.  There's a whole RPG meta element over the game as you earn experience for killing enemies and completing objectives.  As you level up you'll unlock new abilities and even earn money to use to buy items for your character.
