About This Game
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.
Features
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.

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance: The Movement - Resilient survivors
Thu, June 8, 2023
After the machines took over, a new force is rising to challenge the dominance of Legion. Known as The Movement, this faction consists of survivors, civilians, and former local militia who have banded together to fight back against the relentless onslaught of the machine army. Led by the formidable Jessica Kidd, The Movement aims to unite the scattered survivors and reclaim their freedom. She is a strong leader trying to bring the survivors together.
The members of The Movement rely on their resourcefulness and resilience to wage war against Legion. They make use of salvaged weapons and vehicles, retrofitting trucks, vans, buses, and more with armor and formidable weaponry. This diverse arsenal allows them to mount a formidable resistance against the machines that threaten their existence.
The Movement encompasses various specialized infantry units, each with unique skills and capabilities. Let's take a closer look at some of them.
Guerrillas
The Guerrillas form an infantry squad of six highly trained individuals. Unlike the common militia, they possess superior Close Quarters Combat (CQC) abilities, enhanced health, and exceptional accuracy. These skilled fighters have undergone intensive tactical and weapons training, making them a force to be reckoned with. As they advance, Guerrillas gain access to powerful abilities such as utilizing remote explosives and landing from a helicopter on ropes. Upgrades enable them to improve their weaponry, increase ammo capacity, and expand their ranks.
Technicians
Technicians serve as a vital part of The Movement's infrastructure. These clever handymen are responsible for driving and maintaining all Movement vehicles, including heavy ones. As part of the agile aggression doctrine of The Movement, each technician crew has been trained to direct airstrikes from Movement aircraft, further enhancing their combat capabilities. With advancements, Technicians gain the ability to perform various explosive-related tasks. Upgrades enable them to crew heavy vehicles, detect and disarm enemy mines, set different types of mines, and strategically plant remote explosives in the batteries and reactors of disabled but intact large Terminators, ready to detonate at a later time.
A notable asset within The Movement's arsenal is the Armoured Passenger Trailer.
Initially a regular heavy transport semi-trailer rig, this vehicle can carry up to 22 troops at a time. However, with the skillful enhancements performed by The Movement technicians, it can be transformed into a mobile stronghold. The trailer can be detached and utilized as an emplacement, providing a sturdy defensive position for the faction. Upgrades allow for the installation of various weapons and enhanced armor, bolstering its defensive capabilities.
As The Movement fights for survival and liberation, their determination and resourcefulness shine through. Led by the indomitable Jessica Kidd, this faction brings together resilient survivors to wage a desperate war against Legion.

the battle-hardened heroes of the U.S. Military
In the gripping world of Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance, a new chapter unfolds as the Movement encounters a powerful faction known as the Founders. Emerging as a detachment from the U.S. military, the Founders bring unmatched organisation, advanced weaponry, and unwavering determination to the battlefield. Led by the enigmatic Lieutenant Alex Church, who serves as the game's main protagonist, the Founders play a pivotal role in the game's immersive storyline.
The Founders stand apart from the Movement, boasting superior organisation and a heavily armed force. As the remnants of the U.S. military, they have access to upgraded military equipment, vehicles, and an arsenal of weapons that surpasses that of their counterparts.

Snipers
The Founders deploy elite sniper teams to bolster their combat capabilities. These highly skilled marksmen bring deadly precision to the battlefield, taking out enemy infantry and light vehicles with lethal accuracy. Upgrades allow them to enhance their vision and stealth capabilities, making them even more effective in engaging their targets. With their sniper teams in action, the Founders gain a crucial edge in long-range engagements.
Infantry squad
The backbone of the Founders' forces, standard infantry squads consist of seven highly versatile combat units. Equipped to engage both light and heavy enemy units, these squads serve as the universal combat backbone of the faction. Upgrades offer options such as improved weaponry and expanded ammo capacity. With these enhancements, the standard infantry squads become even more formidable in battle.
Just like other units in the game, the Founders’ units can undergo training and improvement to unlock their unique special abilities. This allows players to further tailor their strategies and maximise the potential of their forces. Infantry within the Founders can undergo a range of upgrades to further enhance their combat effectiveness. These upgrades include improved body armour, providing increased survivability and reduced speed. Furthermore, infantry units can receive an extended set of ammunition for their bazookas, granting them a wider range of destructive capabilities. In addition to the cumulative anti-tank rounds, they gain access to high-explosive anti-personnel ammunition.
As you embark on the journey through Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance, be prepared to witness the relentless determination and battle-hardened spirit of the Founders. This faction embodies the unwavering resilience of the U.S. military and becomes a beacon of hope in the war against Legion. Upgrade your units, hone your tactics, and join the Founders in the ultimate fight for humanity's survival.
