Satellite Reign Critic Reviews

This is cyberpunk! An ugly-beautiful dystopia dripping with atmosphere. Emergent game play and the freedom to play how you want make Satellite Reign not only a worthy successor to Syndicate, but in many ways the superior game.

If you remember the original Syndicate games, then I should imagine that purchasing Satellite Reign would be a no-brainer, but even for newcomers to the series such as myself, this is a highly recommended purchase.

Satellite Reign keeps intact what we loved most of Syndicate and builds upon it its own thing, a refined, challenging, open world strategy game in a filthy and unforgiving cyberpunk metropolis.

The worst you can do when talking about Satellite Reign is to measure its value with the original Syndicate. That said, 5 Lives created an intriguing and strong RTS, with some unique features and some great homages to the original by Bullfrog.

Satellite Reign is an incredible successor to Syndicate that gets more right than not. Where it falls down on bugs and control issues, it shines brightly in aesthetics and fantastic combat mechanics.

Satellite Reign is a must-have for those of you who fondly remember the original Syndicate. For those of you looking for a real time tactical Cyberpunk title where you control four agents on the field of battle wielding all manner of awesome, then this is really worth a look.

No matter the bland and "I've seen this dozens of time" story, Satellite Reign is definitely Syndicate v2.0. Improved and enriched in every aspect, it’s a must have in your Steam library.

This is a gripping tactical thriller. Some AI behavior destroys the illusion occasionally, while the mission design is not varied enough. But nonetheless I enjoyed the challenges presented by the unofficial sequel to Syndicate top to bottom.

A well-done revival of Syndicate for real-time strategists with strong nerves. Brains and coordination triumph over fast clicking.

An overall well done tactical cyberpunk-RTS, that is bringing back the spirit of the 1993 released Syndicate by Bullfrog. The atmosphere is great, reminding us to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. You’ve got the opportunity to play various styles with your 4 agents, each of them equipped with special skills, weapons and augmentations. The world is filled with missions and gear to collect. The difficulty can be very hard sometimes, there is no way to pause the game or save during a mission. Some minor bugs have to be noticed, especially with lacking AI and pathfinding.

Satisfyingly freeform missions and rich systems to play with, set in one of the prettiest cyberpunk cities on PC.

Syndicate’s amoral corporate violence meets a more lenient version of Commandos’ ability-centric squad tactics, in this on-point cyberpunk sandbox.

Satellite Reign offers a very solid set of mechanics and the four specialists are clearly designed to allow players to approach almost all situations in a variety of ways, able to create big gun battles or to always move without altering anyone to their presence.

Rough edges like that are a small price to pay when Satellite Reign does Syndicate better than Syndicate ever did.

A fantastic sandbox for experimentation, yet this framework is not backed up by a rich environment.

Satellite Reign is a very good game with a few minor issues. You simply have to like the freedom to guide your agents, the variety of ways to complete a task, a big, pretty city and an excellent cyber-punk atmosphere. Satellite Reign is respectful towards the legendary Syndicate - it's faithful to the original game but applies lots of news solutions.

A great game and a true spiritual successor of Syndicate Wars, which makes you think how come aren’t there more titles like this one out there. With a lot of freedom of action and progression, it could be a bit repetitive on occasion, but you can always face situations in multiple ways.

Satellite Reign is an amazingly detailed game in cyberpunk setting. Sometimes it gets a bit too chaotic and the story is not as memorable, but the feel of the game and the moving gameplay are extraordinary good.

With an emphasis on stealth and manouevering, Satellite Reign is a thrilling real-time strategy game set in a gorgeous cyberpunk city. While the game's firefights leave a lot to be desired, the stealth mechanics remain varied and exciting throughout the experience.

Syndicate fans have here a great tribute to the classic franchise, with its own personality and a solid experience we've enjoyed from the beginning to the end.
