Are You Looking Forward To Corvus Belli’s Infinity: Defiance?
April 12, 2019 by brennon
One of the games that has us excited for the future of tabletop is Corvus Belli's new dungeon crawler, Infinity: Defiance.
The game will feature characters from the Human factions of Infinity that are heading out on the ship known as Defiance to do battle with the dangerous and dastardly Combined Army.
You will find yourself facing off against alien foes and exploring the world of Infinity in an entirely different way. The game will feature metal models and be completely compatible with the traditional tabletop game of Infinity too.
As a prospect for the future, this might be a good entry point for someone who is perhaps a little overwhelmed by the possibilities that are laid before you in Infinity.
Infinity has always been a game which has been incredibly exciting, but a little dense to break into. With Infinity: Defiance offering an easier entry point into the universe we are seeing this as a really good move from Corvus Belli.

I’m really excited for this and I really want to see some mini pics soon.
Interested? I’m already getting quotes from compareyourvitalorgans.com and compareyourfirstbornchild.com to see how much I can raise for this Kickstarter. Ideally I will only have to sell one or the other. Joking aside, really excited for this game, specifically because, as you say, it’s got that mass effect vibe and I am all about that clean sci-fi. I’m also totally fine with the metal miniatures. They’re obviously not everyone’s cuppa and it might limit the appeal of the game to people who play miniature Wargames but for me, I have bought and/or considered buying dungeon Crawlers and Boardgames with metal miniatures… Read more »
Looks cool. This would be a good starting point to get my friends into Infinity. Hope they want to play the role playing game next.
I can’t keep up with the Infinity releases though. I didn’t get the last two books.
A shame. To many games.
Ben the Geth are misunderstood and you shouldnt kill them all! I have mixed feelings on Defiance. I love the reaction mechanic in infinity and the aesthetic. But its way too complicated. I have Yu jing and Aleph but dont play much anymore. Defiance is their chance to make a more approachable game I hope they get the mechanics well balanced. Also metal minis while linking to infinity is good and i assume plastic for aristeia has not been succesful for them which is why they are reverting to metal, the issue is for a dungeon crawler you need a… Read more »
This is the addition to their lineup I hoped for, as my gaming group has a lot more interest in coop games than wargames. Always loved the Infinity aesthetic, and now I will have something from them that could get table time.
It’s a pity it will be metal, but I’ll be happy to wait for reviews of the game to see how it goes.
I am definitely excited for this. I love the Infinity wargame, and a dungeoncrawler offers a lot as an addition to the existing game… metal miniatures and exploring the setting can appeal to existing Infinity players, a multiplayer boardgame can be easier to arrange when you have 3 or 4 people available for a game night and don’t want anyone left out as an audience during a wargame match, and it seems a great way to get new players in by ‘dipping their toes’, as it were. Of course, we’re really in the dark right now, about the rules, the… Read more »
Very excited for this.
When they switch to plastic, Ill invest in infinity. I really like the aesthetic, the game play looks fun, but I just hate working with metal. All the best to them though, I hope it does really well.
Sound’s exciting.
I’ve been sorely tempted by Infinity for a good while now. Defiance seems like a logical entry point. But yeah, metal miniatures are most likely a nonstarter for me. I’ll check out the KS when it goes live, but I think metal minis will mean my gaming group & I won’t take the leap.
Blaster was here…
intreresting.
Soooo looking forward to this!
I am really curious about the ruleset. More info, more often, please CB.
Looking forward to this. My son and I were able to get our pledge in at the highest level. We’ll have lots to build and paint once it arrives.
