First up is ActionTrip with a score of 8.0/10:
Demigod looks good and is well-animated. It has some big flashy effects and really nice audio to boot, both sound effects and music wise. While Gas Powered Games may have accomplished their goal of stripping out the fluff from the RTS experience, for some players they might have gone too far by not including any tutorials and the heavy multiplayer slant. However, for players looking for some challenging strategy with an RPG skill system that allows the player to tailor the game to their play style, will find a fun and affordable game with Demigod. Just make sure you understand what kind of game you are buying and you won't be disappointed. And if you are disappointed, blame your little brother. That almost always works.
Then we have GamingHeaven with a score of 78/100:
Demigod is a great game which is currently marred by horrible networking issues. I am positive that Stardock and Gas Powered will get it sorted in time, however it is severe issues which are plaguing the game and I hope it gets fixed sooner rather than later. Unless you know a few people who are currently playing then the chances of joining a random game are very low. Frustratingly the experience would be awesome if these were fixed but we have to rate the game as it stands. I would recommend this with caution right now and it would be wise to perhaps wait another month for the netcode to be sorted.
Followed by Big Download with no score:
Demigod has a lot going for it, especially if you're the kind of person that forgoes single player RTS campaigns and jumps straight into multiplayer. Those looking for more depth may be a little disappointed. Demigod is provides a fun romp, especially when the massive Rook character smashes down its hammer on a group of soldiers, and it's certainly a game that we would return to from time to time in the future. At that same token, the game didn't leave a strong enough impression to keep us constantly coming back. It's the kind of game that can be easily put down once something newer comes along.
