Satellite Reign

Finally a cyberpunk strategy game where I can stealth, hack or shoot my way through a rain drenched city only to realize I still hate being micromanaged by corporations

"Theatricality and deception are powerful agents." This is the first game where I encounter a mechanic like this, unlike other games that feature stealth, for this one it is different. Generally, I would turn off the cameras and waltz in bypassing what would be considered patrols. When I did this in Satellite Reign, I was starting to get frustrated after I destroyed a camera and there were now 3 NPCs patrolling the entrance I wanted to use, then it hit me. They were guarding the gate because someone blew up their camera. If you want a stealth approach in this game you need to take this into consideration, if you turn off the lights the guards will notice and boost their patrols. I really like this as you either bypass their security systems without altering anything, or you create distractions in close-by areas so the guards will leave the one you are interested in. You can use hijacking for this as well, works very nice. I really like the variety in setups you can have and the many ways you can use your agents, the aesthetics are very pleasing, very Cyberpunk. The game does not force you down on any path, you have complete freedom. You can even try to rush the final boss fight without getting much gear if you really want to, or you can take your time and do all the missions, it is completely up to you. One thing that I did find lacking, and this is where you can see that this is an indie game, is variety in missions. There are really 4 types of missions, go in and get out, go in with someone and break into the facility, break someone out of the facility, and finally, break into a facility and assassinate whichever NPC comes out running. I would of liked more variety in this area. The world design is great, the ending has a nice twist, the visuals and music are great. Game play is awesome, I hope they make more of this. I wish I played this sooner because it really is a really good game.

It's not too often that a game comes around which offers multiplayer isometric co-op in an open world. The setting is wonderfully atmospheric and it's a lot of fun to romp around pulling real-time heists with your friends. No complaints. That said, this is not a deep game - the loop is simple: Execute heist, upgrade equipment, pull another one. Rinse, repeat. For my money, 100% recommendation, even at full price.

Satellite Reign is squad-based, real-time, isometric combat game with a semi-open world set in a neon, cyberpunk future. Unfortunately, it is far worse than the sum of its parts. It suffers from an embarrassingly clunky UI, a profound lack of polish, and poorly thought out game systems that never manage to mesh. There seems to be a lot of half-baked systems and ideas being tried (is it a combat game, a hacking game, a stealth game?), but none of them work on their own or mixed together. The ultimate result is an initially confusing, but mostly boring game, wandering into vaguely tedious and occasionally frustrating territory. Not worth anyone's time.

If you loved Syndicate Wars back in the day, then this is a must! Kit out and take control of your squad employing brute force, divide and conquer or stealth techniques to overthrow your enemies in this RTS revival. steal enemy weapons an collect money while in mission to allow for upgrades cyberpunk style cities on a rotatable top down view look slick. AI can be a little easy to overcome on some missions but i can't complain about that.

Realtime strategy game that takes place in a cyberpunky world. You control four agents with different roles and try to take down the big bad corporation. While you infiltrate or straight up attack different facilities your agents get more powerful and you earn more money to get the the right tools, weapons and augmentations to finish the final mission. The freedom you have in trying out different play styles and ways to approach different situations is really great in this game. You can stealth, sabotage, attack with full force or simply just hack most of the enemies and let them fight it out, or just hack the enemy units and have an easy way through. With the skills, equipment and augmentations available for the four classes this game has an surprising depth available for your tactics (though there is no max level, you do not have to decide what to level, you can level everything). But! This game can be a bit buggy and there are broken achievements. Some you get while you should not (the pacifist ones) and some you can't get (the camera ones) unless you mod the game (see the guides available). There is also, as far as I know, no intention to change this, so I recommend getting this game on a sale. If you like Cyberpunk, Shadowrun and future settings in a rainy neon world, you will have fun with this game. My tip is to save often, you never know when one of your agents gets stuck behind a dumpster on enemy territory...
