About Dawn of Defiance

✦ AI summary

Explore the mythic isles of the Underworld, craft powerful gear and structures, and battle legendary bosses to break the seals of the absent Gods and claim your path to Elysium. Team up with up to three friends in online co-op with full character customization and flexible server settings that let you shape your own adventure.

As you take your first steps into the afterlife, you discover the gates of the Underworld are sealed! The Gods are no longer here to protect you. You must start from nothing, arm yourself against the dangers of the isles, and break the seals of the Olympians which bar you from your eternal destiny in Elysium!

EXPLORE THE ISLES

Venture across the ruins and wilds, just beyond the gates of the Underworld. With heightened movement abilities, traverse and endure the natural challenges of coastal cliffs, foggy woods, dark caves, and blistering sands to unlock treasure and power amidst reclaimed temples.

EMPOWER YOURSELF

To fight back against the natural wildlife and fallen heroes that came before, you must grow in strength through acquired recipes and upgrades. As you claim victories across the isles, build and adorn impressive Greek structures that rival the halls of Olympus, protect yourself with customizable, crafted gear, and weld together weapons of the Gods.

DEFY THE GODS

After you have learned to survive on Veilpoint, you must seek answers across the Crossroads! In the Gods' mysterious absence from the Crossroads, their shrines are overrun by their enemies. To discover the truth and break the Olympic seals, you must venture into their domain and slay the mythic bosses within.

BAND TOGETHER

Undertake this deadly odyssey on your own, or recruit up to three friends to aid your journey at any time in online cooperative multiplayer. Give your Spartan personality in our new character creator, with dozens of characterization options from hair styles, complexions, face shapes, and more. Divide and conquer to gather resources and claim the isles in the name of Defiance while sharing objective rewards across players, so you never miss out. Customize your gameplay experience with our numerous server settings, including toggleable drop-on-death, disabling durability, adjusting health and damage, and more.

How did this game go under the radar for this long? Sure, it's a EA but it's already very polished. And that is noticable immediately upon starting. It's got a great premise (the greek mythological afterlife setting is inspired) and the server settings out of the gate lets you tweak the gameplay to a reasonable degree. I dislike survival crafting games in general for the grind and jank but this is pretty good. Looks good, runs great, animations are also smooth (except for jumping which looks weird. Also the precision needs tweaking as running and jumping from the edge does not give you distance. Instead, jumping a few steps before the edge will give you significant distance. And with a game that has no climbing or ability to grab onto ledges...this can be frustrating). Default running is also painfully slow and stamina drain, regardless of how much stamina you have seems relative. Upgrading traits like don't appear to have any significant benefits. Questing is fun even if the quests are painfully obscure. I'm all for no quest markers telling you where to go but for that to work, the quest information needs to be more...informative. Right now, it's pretty hit and miss. Comba…
