Respawn after a short period of time?  Believe me that is the longest 30 seconds ever :P

apparently the word RPG has completely lost its meaning these days ....... since when do you roleplay in strategy games

It has many RPG elements.  When you play it, you'll see.

So RPG has devolved into meaning level ups and item selection?

You take the role of a freaking Walking Castle Demigod in his quest to reach true godhood, how is that not role playing.

like those first person shooters in which you often have to walk and did you notice: in Sims 2, there are walking people, too, so Sims 2 has to be a FPS -.-

taking one single element of a RPG and putting it into another game of a different genre doesn't qualify for calling that game a RPG, too. I think that RPG is the most inflationarily used label which is put on games these days. Dang, I miss the days of Baldur's Gate where RPGs were about a captivating story and not about having an inventory... :-/

You should try a RPG by Bioware. They hit the nail on the head every time with their games.

Having RPG elements doesn't mean it's an RPG... If the goal of the game is to 'win' a map through strategy, then it's clearly not an RPG, but a strategy game.

 

Other than that, looking good. ;)

You are a little late for such complains tbh. there are already tons of rpg/rts games that dont have any rpg features but leveling and items. Not to mention the mass of mmorpgs that solely consists of leveling and chatting.

I havent watched the video but...
Dont think any of the Devs think this is a RPG. They call it something more like a RTS/RPG.
