Project Demigod is the ultimate superhero simulator. Stage physics-driven comic book battles in a limitless sandbox. Toss cars into ninjas with super strength, swing through cityscapes or master tactile melee weapons. You decide what type of hero to be. Who will you become?
Players rave about the wide variety of superpowers at their fingertips. The game currently features 10 distinct ability sets, with plans to add even more in the future. These range from classic superhero powers like web-slinging, fire-blasting, and super-strength, to more innovative options like earth manipulation, water control, stretching, and lightning generation. The real fun comes from combining these abilities in creative ways - players can, for example, shoot fireballs from one hand while lifting enemies with the other.
The game's combat and environmental interactions are built on realistic physics simulations, delivering a truly immersive "superhero experience." Players can leverage the environment to their advantage, tossing cars into groups of enemies, frying robots with energy beams, or slicing through waves of ninjas with melee weapons. The physics-based mechanics encourage dynamic, emergent gameplay, as players experiment with different power combinations to overcome challenges.
The large, destructible environments provide an expansive playground for superhero antics. Reviewers praise the sense of scale and spectacle, with one noting that the game allows them to "enact our medieval hero fantasies" as they swing through towering cityscapes and smash their way through buildings.
A common highlight among players is the responsiveness and tactility of the game's controls, particularly when using powers like web-slinging. Reviewers describe the web-swinging mechanic as "spectacular" and "satisfying," creating a true sensation of being a superhero. The ability to precisely control the character's movements and abilities contributes greatly to the overall sense of immersion.
While still in Early Access, the game has already received updates based on player feedback, with new powers and features being implemented. Reviewers express confidence that the game will only continue to improve over time, with one stating they are "really excited for the future" of this evolving superhero sandbox.
