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.

I remember playing some bad pirated version of syndicate wars, where only first few missions worked then the game crashed. But I played these missions to death, I loved that game! While brute force was the fastest way, there were lots of possibilities, like setting up traps (razor wire), bombs, gas... Eventually I borrowed the original and had a blast, but don't recall finishing the game, I think I remember running into an annoying bug or something, IIRC had to do with a flying car crashing and killing my agents 
What I don't really understand about Satellite Reign is how they advertise a huge city with no division between missions - so I'd just run around with 4 agents and keep doing quests on one huge map? Kinda like GTA but with 4 guys? Sounds like a bit too much RPG in that for a spiritual successor of syndicate.

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
