We're all waiting with bated breath for the release of Defiance in April. This shooter promises to be everything the MMO world is lacking, an ultimate integration of television and video game unlike anything we've seen before. That's a pretty tall order. This defiance guide and review isn't going to focus on the game world or even an overview, instead we're going to look at some very specific things. The developer, Trion Worlds has been pretty sparing with the teasers we've seen. So there's only little bits of information to go on but all things considered, things look great.
The defiance enemies and gameplay look as terrifying as should be expected. The Hell Bugs are huge, with powers that range from shooting players with globs of hyper-charged and explosive flaming... spit? If that fails they don't seem to mind getting right up in your face and hitting you with claws that look like they've come out of H.R. Geiger's nightmares. The mutants and cyborg miners make up another portion of Defiance enemies. These guys are guarding loot and other things that you're going to want and finding where these places are are as easy as looking on the map. New enemies can be found by just exploring the world.
Leveling tips in the game aren't too difficult to talk about. There seems to be a lot of things to do. From the very large and deadly ark fall events to small fetch quests and other types of things there are a lot of different ways to gain experience and level your character. Earning scrip (money) is obtained in much the same way, by completing tasks and objectives though if you fail in your missions the possibilities for loot have just gone away. Luckily there's usually another chance to do those things and compare how you did with other players.
