Tom Clancy's XDefiant is a first-person shooter branded with the name of Tom Clancy, an American thriller writer. It's a free-to-play game developed by Ubisoft (specifically its San Francisco team).

Mechanics

As a first-person shooter, the game is mostly competitive. Players form teams and battle each other on special arenas, wielding pre-made weapon kits and special abilities possessed by chosen units.

Each playable character has unique skills distinguishing them from the others. Spies from the Echelon group are known for surprise attacks, disorienting their opponents and intercepting valuable intel. Libertad are typical units - their abilities buff and heal allies within their range. The factions present within the game have been borrowed from other Ubisoft series branded with Tom Clancy's name, such as The Division.

GamingTrend: 85 / 100 by Cassie Peterson

XDefiant is a solid first-person shooter featuring familiar gameplay elements as other games in the genre but with a twist, including the different factions and their unique abilities. The factions help to keep the gameplay fresh from match to match, and they're all fairly balanced in their ability, though not necessarily their application. Unfortunately, the game still suffers with weapon balancing and hit registration, as well as missing a some accessibility and quality of life options.

GameSpot: 6 / 10 by Richard Wakeling

XDefiant is unoriginal, and its disparate styles don't quite fit together, but solid gunplay and excellent map design elevate Ubisoft's free-to-play shooter.

Full Review

Hardcore Gamer: 3 / 5 by Kevin Dunsmore

Ubisoft’s attempt to blend two disparate genres together backfires, creating massive balancing issues and diluting both experiences. Its lack of polish on the server side leads to outright aggravating and uneven experiences. Finally, while XDefiant is free-to-play, the fact that there’s little earn and outright unlock leaves little incentive to stick with the game beyond a couple of matches occasionally. XDefiant provides that solid, fun FPS action in small doses, but is sorely held back by a lack of focus, polish and earnable content.
