Satellite Reign is probably best described as a tactical isometric RPG. Its part Pillars of Eternity, and part E.Y.E. It's a spiritual successor to the original Syndicate (Not EA's 2012 abortion version) made by 5 Lives Studios. The game is extremely open, dropping the player in a massive multi-part city, allowing you to wander all over the place and pretty much do as you please. It addresses an awful lot of the main issues with the original, namely every unit equipping the same gear at the end game. It has a boat load of content, hours of gameplay, and a true sense of approaching any situation however you like. The game recently released from Early Access, with the hopes of living up to the name the 1993 title earnt itself all those years ago. Has this new title lived up to its expectations? Is it decidedly better?
CG writes: We take a quick look back to August 2015 with Five Lives Studio’s cyberpunk themed Satellite Reign on PC. The game looks fantastic and offers some top-down real-time strategy action with four customizable cyborg agents. The game was offered for free at one point but if you want to pick it up today it will set you back £22.99 from Steam. It makes a neat game to play whilst waiting for other cyberpunk themed games this year.
The excellent Syndicate inspired game from 5 Lives Studios can be yours for nothing.
CG writes: 5 Lives Studios cyberpunk tactical game Satellite Reign is now one of Steam’s daily deals with a whopping 85% Off the listed price making it a steam for just £3.44 – you have some 40 odd hours left to grab the deal. We reviewed the game when it first released (8 out of 10 score) and found a really enjoyable game which since then has been updated and now includes co-op play.
