Satellite Reign is touted as the spiritual successor to the popular Syndicate titles from the 1990s. Indeed one of the designers behind Satellite Reign is Mike Diskett, who was the lead designer of Syndicate Wars (1996).
The game is described as being similar to the Syndicate titles. Players will be in control of a squad of agents operating in a dark and grim futuristic city. And just like in those old games, all the action will be happening in real-time. The game is currently available on Steam Early Access, and here's a few details from today's press release:
Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game. You control a squad of four agents, each with distinct and unique abilities, as they vie for control of a fully simulated, living, cyberpunk city.
The game world is designed to facilitate emergent gameplay, giving you the tools and freedom to play how you want to play, so you can create strategies and scenarios that not even we had anticipated!
Customise your team with the strength to destroy your enemies head-on, or hack into their facilities to manipulate their infrastructure without them ever knowing you were even there.
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?
