If I had bought this game for the full price, I would have been dissappointed given that half of the book is just a copy of Tiny Dungeons. That said, Tiny Dungeons is a really solid rpg so if you are interested, check it out! This one has some interesting ideas on how to create a world. The ideas could have been fleshed out more. I'm not sure if the world creation rules here would appeal to typical Tiny Dungeons players but I think they are interesting enough that I might just try them out.
Meanwhile, the Demi-gods creation rules are half the Tiny Dungeon character creation + some interesting ideas tacked on top. The most interesting of which are Conviction points that allows a Demi-god to do things like defeat a single foe "a single dragon" or a large group of weak foes, or various other demi-god actions. What makes these points thematic is how demi-gods can earn these points.
"When mortals see you spend conviction on a Godly Feat", the demi-god player rolls at Disadvantage to see if the followers give them more conviction. Even more thematic is that each Demi-god has a "Binding" such as Love, Art, Vengeance, etc. and whenever the demi-god does something to suppor their binding, they gain Conviction (until they hit their max).
So, all in all, I'd say 3 stars but I gave it 1 start bump up for 90% off.
