The Syndicate ‘spiritual successor’ and outright fan love poem that is Satellite Reign from developer 5 Lives Studios is unleashing mayhem on the dystopic city streets today as it launches on Steam Early Access.
It’s a real-time and class-based strategy just like the original Syndicate, where four agents take on the mega corporate forces that control the world in a ”simulated, living cyberpunk city.”
5 Lives wants to give us the ”tools and freedom” to battle the corporations how we choose, and not just go all guns blazing. Ultimately are we just replacing the corporate overlords, or do we fight for the little people? This tug-of-war will affect how we fight, as civilians can easily get in the line of fire.
”Will you take down your enemies with brute-force? Covert espionage and infiltration? Or will you use propaganda to influence the citizens of the city and overthrow the controlling powers?”
All Kickstarter backers and Humble Bundle owners will have access to the Steam Early Access release, which will unlock in a few hours’ time today, December 11th.
