Satellite Reign: Syndicate’s spiritual successor hits Kickstarter

While 2011’s Syndicate reboot may have pleased some, it didn’t exactly represent the original 1993 title from Bullfrog – but small developer 5 Lives Studios could deliver the true successor fans have be waiting for.

The developer has launched a Kickstarter for Satellite Reign, an ambitious game project that will feel and resemble elements of the original Syndicate game.

“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,” explains the Kickstarter page.

The game will allow you to customise your team, who can then take on the enemies with brute-force, stealth, or hacking techniques to sabotage enemy infrastructure.

5 Lives Studios is an independent developer, which features five industry professionals. Collectively, the team has worked on a wide range of genres and notable titles including the Syndicate series, GTA IV, Darksiders II, Star Wars, and L.A. Noire.

The team is seeking £350,000, and have accumulated over £10,000, with 30 days to go.

Satellite Reign will be released on Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
