I'm not a huge RTS/RPG guy so I can't speak well to what it most resembles, but it does sort of remind me of the LotR: BfME games. I'd love to see a playable demo, there's some good potential here.

My initial thought after looking at the screens was: "Ok, finally the giants from Shadow of the Colossus get to fight something their own size". And hopefully win once in a while. Losing to the skinny little boy and his horse must have been terribly embarassing :) I am always careful with these types of games though, they have a terrible legacy of always disappointing me at the end. It's not really a genre of its own per say, but any game where you control something giant (like a mech or a colossus) definitely has its own set of special challenges that aren't always well-resolved. The only game in recent memory where I actually had unspoilt fun with a mountain-sized beast was Giants: Citizen Kabuto. But I always hold out hope for the future, the hopeless romantic that I am :) So to what extent (if any) do you actually control the armies that are shown surrounding the Demigods? Is it at the level of Warcraft? Or is it more high-level? Hmm, Demigod actually looks rather cool.
