Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game. You control a team of four agents, each with distinct and unique abilities, collectively battling 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!

Customize 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?




The city is huge and you can move around and tackle objectives however you want to. You won't be spoon-fed one mission after another, you'll be able to use whatever means you can to get to your final goal. Bribe scientists to advance your technologies, and kidnap doctors to augment your agents. Steal money from the banks to fund your war against the corporations, and exploit neural implants to bend the will of others. Or, try to take your objectives through good old-fashioned brute-force.

The game is in dire need of a better name.

This time, Electronic **** won't be able to screw another Syndicate.

Funny detail: at least one of the devs from that new "syndicate" game is a backer of Satellite Reign

Ok here's the youtube link for the pitch video:

I hope he is doing it to clean up his karma.

The moment ShadySands backed the project, YouTube stopped working for me.

It looks kinda cool. Might back it.

[Bos_hybrid]

I believe a pledge is in order.

Being unable to edit my original post is unfortunate....people backing Syndicates spiritual successor that I appreciate!!! One of my all time favorite Childhood games deserves a real successor.

I think the new Syndicate did alot of interesting things and it had its heart in the right place (like chipped people that are able to see pricetags on every buyable object in the gameworld, the mindless consumerist slaves that they are). Its just unfortunate that it had to be a FPS.

I, too, think that nazis did a lot of interesting things like stylish uniforms, flashy parades. They just made a few mistakes.

I might pledge if i ever bother to enter my CC info in. Or i'll just stick to $ pledges where i don't have to enter anything all over again.

Yeah thats the huge issue. This is also my first game in pouns. If it were anythign but Syndicate or if the pitch wouldnt of been so damn good I wouldnt of entered my CC number either.

 

I'm hoping it doesnt hurt them too much. The Pitch one of the best I have seen on kickstarter and it will be an insult if Double Fines Massive Chalice ends up with more money considering their pitch was an insult.

Be prepared to be insulted

[Spider]

Yeah, having to enter all info again is annoying, but I think they'll make up for any loss there when they set up paypal. Waiting for that myself atm.

Hope this gets some more funding soon. I'm very interested in seeing stretch goals

[Malcador]

Worth a gamble on this, I think.

Should pick up now that its Monday.

[melkathi]

Over 1/3 off the funding now. 125k pounds out of 350k

With the increasing press coverage more backers may show up.
