Spoiler

Defiance is a real-time strategy game based on the Terminator: Dark Fate universe that follows the war between humanity and Legion's synthetic intelligent machine network. In the single-player campaign, you take the role of a commander in the Founders faction and guide your army in an attempt to foil Legion's plan to exterminate the last remnants of humanity. In skirmish and multiplayer modes, play as three very diverse factions: Founders, Legion and Resistance.

Take control of an army carried over from mission to mission on a series of large strategic maps. Make decisions about unit placement, battle tactics and abilities so that you just don’t survive but become the leader of resistance against the machines. Hone your skills and military expertise by replaying and achieving the best possible outcomes.

Campaign

• Start humanity’s resistance against the machines by surviving engagements with Legion and rallying others to your cause. In the post-Judgement Day world, the greatest threats may not come from the machines but rather from other human survivors.
• Traverse various dangerous locals, find additional allies and supplies and navigate the brutal differences between competing human factions.
• Engage in complex, realistic battles where your tactical decisions are vital to your survival and ultimate victory. Use a variety of military equipment, vehicles and ammunition types in your battles against the enemy. Recruit and train new units, assign new skills and acquire new weapons and equipment to continue the resistance.
• Your battlefield tactics and choices have deep consequences. Your resources are limited and you must protect your army. Weapons of war receive damage through a modular component damage system where armour characteristics, component malfunctions and hull structure all affect if your troops survive.
• Recruit others to your cause and grow your army. Mix and match the composition of your troops to fit your preferred battle tactics. Use infantry units, heavy armoured military vehicles, plasma cannon technology, drones and other flying units and even human skirmishers to achieve victory.
• Use the battlefield to your advantage! Physics-based building demolition lets you generate a realistic set of tactical consequences, especially in urban areas.
• Test your skills in online multiplayer matches. Fight against real-life human opponents in 1v1, 2v1, and 2v2 battles.

If they deliver something at least as decent as ST Terran Ascendancy...

Defiance is the result of a collaboration with Skydance, which began when Slitherine approached them prior to the announcement of the film Terminator Dark Fate. As Slitherine marketing director Marco A. Minoli explains, the publisher had noticed its core strategy gaming audience was a lot of folks in their 30s who had grown up with sci-fi classics, making the territory fertile ground for licensing deals. (...)
Of course, Skydance was preparing to announce Dark Fate, which made the collaboration make perfect sense. So Slitherine partnered with Skydance and Russian developers Cats Who Play to start work on Defiance, which Minotti says is "simply the biggest thing we've ever done."
(...)
He says that while most licensing agreements tend to be fairly detached in terms of IP-holder involvement, Slitherine's collaboration with Skydance for Defiance is incredibly close. They're working with the producers from Dark Fate to ensure Defiance has a place in the future of the Terminator franchise, which director James Cameron has already planned out further to include other spin-off projects such as an anime series despite Dark Fate's poor showing at the box office in 2019.

Defiance fits into the universe between the "present-day" of Dark Fate and the 2042 Legion-controlled future. Its campaign puts players in control of the "Founders," a faction of ex-US military members fighting off the Legion as it rises to power. There are other factions, too, including the Resistance, the Cartel, and others, some of which will be playable in Defiance's multiplayer modes.

This is being made by the same devs behind Syrian Warfare which has some of the best urban warfare gameplay in an RTT.

looks pretty cool actually, but most RTS games end up being way too arcade like IMO, but every once in awhile that is not the case....if it is like Men of war or something could be nice..

edit: Just looked at their syrian warfare game..never had seen it before, but it looks impressive, like Men of War 2 Quality but w/ better graphics.

It is pretty good. It's not a 100% milsim like Combat Mission, but by playing it you'll soon discover that just because you have a tank doesn't make you invincible. Anything without reactive armor is going to die very quickly, and you'll learn to fear ATGMs and sending tanks into urban areas.

The game is a bit janky in places, but the game is also genuinely challenging and will make you sweat bullets during certain parts.

Another feature I like is the campaign continuity. Your troops gain experience, you can buy new equipment after each mission, but there's also the possibility of looting disabled or unmanned hardware you find on the map. And the fact you're actually using Russian hardware is great, since most games usually have you play around with NATO stuff.

It helps that the devs like to poke fun of mainstream media and leftists throughout the game (there's one "forum" thread where a migrant woman is whining that her husband went to fight for ISIS and is now dead). The game made a lot of people butthurt by portraying the Assad loyalists as the good guys.

Also, this gem below from the first mission:

Please help to merge both threads here: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/terminator-dark-fate-defiance.149658/

Something funky is going on here, I think Slitherine is doing some
by inviting Cats Who Play back into the Project without directly saying it, because on Steam it lists the developers as "Slitherine" now.

Anyway, that's cool, don't quote me on that tho.

 

[PsihoKekec]

Covering up the fact that they are working with evil Russians? HOW DARE THEY!!!
