Should I Buy? (New Question)

Beta question

February 22, 2009 1:01:05 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

If I were to pre-order today digitally would I get into beta?

I just discovered this game, viewing the trailer and gameplay it reminded me of Diablo2 and DOTA, and it really sparked my interest.

If someone could let me know whether I would get into beta if I preordered and maybe some details on the beta that would be great.

 

EDIT: How long will be BETA be avalible if the release is in April?

 

EDIT: Hey, Ive been looking at some videos of gameplay and it seems extremely slow paced, not at all like Diablo2 or DOTA. Could someone clear this up for me? The video I saw was a rook moving slower then a snail toward a tower lol.

Yes. 

The beta right now has all 8 Demigods available, and although the connectivity is still weak, the game is fun.  If you have some specific questions about the beta, speak up .

I like this game pretty much, really, but if you are unsure you should wait for a demo maybe.

Gameplay isn't slow-paced at all.  That being said, this isn't a twitch game ala Diablo 2, don't expect that.  It's an RTS game with some action elements.  That is, if you see a Rook roll a boulder at you, you can (and should, lol) move out of the way.

Also, I think I heard today is the last day to get into beta, just FYI (at least I hope it's today, and not yesterday).

I believe the beta has closed to new people today.

The game isn't slow paced at all.  The Rook is a giant stone construct, he does move slow, but not all the Demigods are slow like that.  Some are quite fast.
