Syndicate (1993)

by Bullfrog Productions, Electronic Arts, Electronic Arts Victor
Genres:Strategy, Tactical
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Syndicate is a strategic action game set in a dystopian future where corporate entities vie for global dominance. Players control a syndicate, expanding their influence across a world map divided into territories. Starting from a European base, players deploy agents to infiltrate and conquer adjacent regions through covert operations and violence. Once a territory is captured, players can impose taxes to increase revenue, but must balance this with the risk of inciting rebellions. The game involves managing resources, dispatching agents to eliminate threats both foreign and domestic, and defending against rival syndicates' incursions. Success requires careful strategic planning, efficient resource management, and the ability to outmaneuver opponents on a global scale. The ultimate goal is to achieve world domination by controlling all territories and overcoming all challenges.Show more

An old Bullfrog game back when EA first acquired them, Syndicate was a Cyberpunk dystopian game where a group of corporate agents fought with other corporations and gained new cyberware and skills. You could take people over who lived in VR all the time and walk around with masses of human shields, wield miniguns, and generally wreck havoc. There was a lot of research and movement on the overworld, a little bit like some modern Xcom games, but with the fighting in real time. It was a fond memory with an appropriately dark and cynical tone that feels more appropriate than ever nowadays.

This was one of my first exposures to the Cyberpunk genre, and it had elements of other favorite games like Civilization and StarCraft. I was never very good at Syndicate but I remember it being a really cool game.

Klimat, klimat i jeszcze raz klimat... i miodność :). Pierwszy raz grałem u kolegi na A600, od razu kupiłem sobie na swoją Amigę. Potem, przesiadłem się na pc , i to była jedna z pierwszych gier jaką ograłem na nowym komputerze. Kozacka gra, łezka w oku :)

A world dominated by unscrupulous corporations. You and your security team (consisting of cyborg-agents) are responsible for one of these corporations. With teams of up to 4 agents you enter urban and industrial areas belonging to different corporations, your aims: infiltration, extraction, sabotage or simply extermishing the opposition. The detailed mission maps are pure eye candy. A game thats higly challenging and entertaining.
Ye olde bullfrog, oh how I miss thee... With a mix of easy gameplay as well as murderous difficulty (that island thingy in the middle of the ocean, OMG!), it deserves a return. Since the newest entry of the franchise ended up being a bleh dubstep FPS, then at the least they can bring this one back.
