Excerpt from CD Mag’s review: “When Avalon Hill decided to expand their product line, they created Visceral Productions so as not to scare off… wargamers. Visceral’s first game, Defiance, is a blast-fest [with decent plot]. Initially conceived as a clone of Descent, somewhere along the way it morphed into an oddly appealing mix of Descent and Duke Nukem… In the end, Defiance is an entertaining, intense and involving single-player experience that plays out like a science fiction movie. While offering little new, technically speaking, the solid plot, good controls and well designed levels go a long way to making the game’s shortcomings seem less noticeable… it amounts to more than the sum of its parts.”
