A view of the battlefield
Demigod is set in a fantasy world of magic and mythology. You may be wondering what a demigod is anyway. Well, that which is known as a demigod is a half-god, born from the union of a god and a mortal.
The game doesn’t really carry that deep a storyline per se but it does move along the lines of a demigod fighting his way up the ranks to eventually achieve god status.
