Satellite Reign

This game is almost like a cross between XCOM and Invisible Inc set in open world. You play with 4 characters, each with their own special abilities, but you don't need to bring them to every mission. You might decide that a task only requires the infiltrator, who is the only character who can cloak without a cloaking device. That makes it a lot easier to sneak in and do your objective. But what if there is a locked door? Do you need a hacker to open it for you, or a soldier to hardwire the power generator for the door? Maybe you aren't sure which terminal connects to which door, in which case you will want to bring your support. Every single character has a purpose. You will find later that you can start sharing roles with specific augments and gear, however this might be at the expense of other equipment which might save your agents' lives when you get discovered. On the topic of failure, Satellite Reign does this quite well. If you are near the entrance of a restricted area, you may get lucky and only get apprehended by the hostiles. At this point, if you comply, you get away with a kick in the back. However, if you are discovered further in, you will be shot on sight. If you have decent defenses, you may be able to run away and hide, however the increased guard activity may make it difficult to procede. However, this also presents an opportunity for another agent to infiltrate elsewhere, where the guards are preoccupied in their fight. If an agent dies, you can respawn them at save points at the cost of a mix of money and xp. The mix is determined by how long you wait to respawn them with longer wait times costing less money and more xp. There may be other ways to respawn, but you can find out about that in the game. In terms of missions, there is a good balance of easy and difficult missions. If you are finding a difficult mission very difficult, there is often a way to spend some money to get some intel. This may be about an entrance where a member of the public has a way to get in, which they may give to you if you choose to bribe them or help them in some way. These may sometimes be morally dubious, but they can give you a massive advantage in terms of avoiding security measures. If you are still having trouble, ensure that you have silenced pistols for all your agents, as they are a great way of quietly assassinating guards that are in your way. All in all, this is a fanctastic game that really makes you feel like you are an operator of a corporation in a distopian cyberpunk world!

This is one of the most dissapointing games ever, and I've been playing games since the Atari. I've tried on 4 occassions to get into this game, it is so flawed and frustrating. If you miss Syndicate, play something else, this isn't it.

Очень хотел бы порекомендовать эту игру, но не могу. Супер-красивый огромный город в полном сеттинге киберпанка, и сотни способов проходить миссии. Но в открытом городе делать почти нечего -бегаешь тут в режиме сканирования и все красоты пропускаешь мимо. А в закрытых участках выполняются задания; в реальном времени - нужно следить за передвижениями врагов и искать пути. Поэтому красоты на этих территориях тоже почти не замечаешь. И конечно же туман войны не позволяет рассмотреть что-то вдалеке от персонажей. Враги тупые, но очень назойливые. И если делать неправильно -плодятся в неохватываемых количествах. С другой стороны у нас тоже есть поломанные механики - например невидимость, которая вообще никак не контрится. Баги с застреваниями редки, но у врагов случается часто. В паре мест проблемы с громкостью. Музыку очень хотелось бы получше. Вместо карты - полотно непонятного цвета с разбросанными иконками, относительно которых и ориентируешься. Если в обычных миссиях огромные территории дают вариативность прохождения, то в ласт файте это однозначно избыточно, так как вариантов там нет. Советовать могу только для фанатов жанра/иммерсивности.

Pretty good !

Excellent game, especially for fans of Syndicate back in the day. Great for anyone looking for squad tactics and map exploration. The missions are extremely easy to jump in and out of and there's a nice balance of lethality with feeling like your agents can do something. The bounds between explorable and secure zones could feel a little more distinct but other than that it's a really nice game
