Satellite Reign
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 simulated, living cyberpunk city. Customise 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 world's governments are controlled by mega-corporations, democracy to the highest bidder. Society is structured for the benefit of those in power. The poor exist in the dark squalid underbelly of the city, while the wealthy swim in opulence and luxury on the upper tiers, and the vast middle-class are too comfortable with their lives of convenience to see the world for what it really is. Corporate police patrol the streets, brutally maintaining the status quo, all under the guise of keeping the people safe. The time for change is now, as a mysterious organisation rises from the slums of the city. They'll have to bribe, steal, hack, kill and augment their way through the barriers between them and their ultimate goal...but what are they trying to achieve? To free the masses from the corporate stranglehold, or to take control for themselves? That, is up to you.
What it feels like
The world presents corporate brutality, class oppression, and a rain-soaked dark aesthetic with little optimism.
What it's about
The entire game is set in a neon-lit cyberpunk city controlled by mega-corporations, with hacking, augmentation, and corporate oppression as core themes. Democracy sold to highest bidder, mega-corporate control, class stratification, and corporate police brutality are central to the narrative and world-building. A mysterious organization rises from the slums to overthrow the corporate-controlled status quo, with the player's choices determining if it's liberation or replacement.
How it plays
Described explicitly as a real-time strategy game where you command a team of four agents through tactical decisions in an open-world city. Core mechanic involves commanding four distinct agents, each with unique and specialized abilities defining their roles. Covert infiltration and hacking into facilities without detection is presented as a core playstyle option alongside combat.
How it looks and sounds
The visual identity emphasizes neon-lit streets and a distinctly cyberpunk aesthetic with glowing urban imagery. Steam tags and typical RTS presentation suggest an isometric or top-down view for commanding agents through the city. Typical for RTS games and suggested by steam tags; players command agents from an overhead perspective.
How it's structured
The game features an open-world cyberpunk city that players navigate and infiltrate in largely non-linear, player-chosen order. While multiplayer is supported, single-player is the primary framing and core experience. Co-op is listed as a feature, enabling cooperative team command over the internet.
