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.

Looks pretty good. Syndicate was one of my favorite games as a kid and there really hasn't been anything like it since.
 
I have to say i think this is one of the best kickstarter pitches I have seen. If anyone able and has spare cash kicking around support these guys!!
 
New update with a dev chat up.

"In this video, Dean, Mitch, Chris and Mike discuss some of the questions we've seen raised, such as "Good vs Evil," character classes, and more on the city simulation."

I told myself I wouldn't get psyched over kickstarters & game announcements anymore, but damn... I so friggin' loved Syndicate & Syndicate Wars when I was a kid.

Bring it on!

A few years after Syndicate was released a friend told me to try it and i must say even when games had gone quite a bit from that old feel i still played that game quite a lot! It was indeed an awesome game.
 
In other news :)

They just added limited edition boxed copies. Also Russel Zimmerman (who was a writer for Shadowbane pnp) has joined the team!!!
 
Looks good, though i have to admit im not super excited how now youre apparently the rebel against the corporations. I liked how you were the emotionless corporation excecutive just looking to get paid in previous games. (unless playing as the church of the new epoch).
 
Good new update up going deeper into classes and agent death.

Agent Death

Agents can and will die!
If your agents body dies their consciousness is removed and implanted into a new body.
Agents will keep their skills and abilities which are carried across with their consciousness.
New agents are cloned from a selection of bodies back at base.
New bodies can be obtained by multiple means, like: purchasing them from the black market or harvesting them from the population.
Cloned bodies have genetic traits that give small bonuses to your agents.
Agents lost in the field will lose their augmentations and equipment but if you are fast enough you can salvage the corpse for spare parts or we have multiple insurance packages available to suit your needs.

Classes

Your squad is comprised of 4 different agents, each with their own class or speciality: Soldier, Support, Assassin or Hacker.
This is only the agents starting point.
You are free to customise each of your agents to be fully combat oriented, fully espionage oriented, or anything in-between.
Agents will be able to be customised by giving them different augmentations, skills / abilities, weapons and gear.
Each of these customisation options will allow them to play more of a combat role or an espionage role, or anything in-between

Well I pledged. I would really love to see this game become a reality. I've done my part in spreading it via Facebook too.

good to hear!!! Campaign needs all the help it can get
 
And it's founded. I was almost certain it wouldn't succeed, only a few days ago it still had a long way to go. So yay for that!
 
I'd definitely be willing to back it if i had the money in time, i can see my self pre ordering specially if they get green lit.
