Terminator: Dark Fate Defiance - Presentation of gameplay, units and environments

Man VS Machine: On February 21st, Slitherine can show what it can get out of a Terminator license. Get to know the RTS better with these three Explainer videos.

Real-time strategy without the fuss of world war. And yet, in the future of the Terminator Dark Fate universe, a conflict is spiralling out of control with nothing less than the future of all mankind at stake. A synthetic and intelligent machine network has set itself the circuitry to summarily destroy all humans. In Slitherine's real-time strategy game Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance, you lead human units as commander of the Founders in response to Legion's extermination plan.

With three explainer videos and the voice of creator Sampstra Games, Slitherine Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance brings you a little closer to the RTS that will be playable tomorrow.

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance - the best gameplay features

Let's start with the "Cool Gameplay Features" video for Dark Fate Defiance. NPCs for quests and rewards, movement on the map, various mission types and the recruitment of new party members take centre stage here. For example, you can complete missions with the aim of strengthening the ranks of the Founders.Or you can choose not to accept support from civilians, as they may not be strong enough for your squad. Or perhaps escort jobs or tracking down resources are more your thing.

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance - Inclusion of the environment

Trees, buildings, ruins, fences - pretty much all objects in the game environment have an influence on defence and attack. For example, Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance distinguishes between solid walls and wooden barricades if you want to hide behind them when under fire. Grass and small hills can also be useful for camouflaging your units. The game takes differences in height into account when determining whether you are at an advantage or disadvantage during a battle. But beware: Even walls and buildings that appear stable do not guarantee survival, as buildings in Dark Fate Defiance can be destroyed.

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance - Units in the game

No RTS without different units: Vehicles and troops in the new Terminator strategy game are designed to be particularly flexible. Huge tanks, transporters with big guns, plasma weapons, anti-tank soldiers...and ammunition supplies always play a role. Nice to see in the video: Vehicles can also be easily equipped with trailers, such as an artillery cannon. You can also invest in armour.
