You command four specialized agents in a corporate-controlled cyberpunk city, working to undermine powerful companies and seize control of their technology.
Explore one continuous city, discover missions, and choose which objectives to pursue. To enter guarded sites, you can scout routes, sneak past security, hack systems, sabotage equipment, or fight your way in.
Develop each agent's skills and equip them with weapons, gear, and augmentations to suit your approach. You can also clone exceptional individuals to shape an agent's genetic base. Co-op supports up to four players over LAN.
Positive reviewers often enjoy planning infiltrations, using different tools and routes, and coordinating a customizable squad in real time. The cyberpunk setting and similarities to Syndicate also appeal to some players. Others find the stealth and combat frustrating, particularly when controls or enemy behavior get in the way.
Satellite Reign was developed using Unity's now-retired online networking solution UNET. UNET was shut down in 2025, and so Satellite Reign's co-op multiplayer now only works via local LAN. If you still want to play with friends online, you will need to use LAN connection over a VPN.
Contains the game, original soundtrack, 'Satellite Reign: Reboot' e-book and 'The Art of Satellite Reign' e-book.
Play the entirety of Satellite Reign with your friends in co-op multiplayer. Up to four players can each control their own agent, opening up a whole new level of strategic and co-ordinated play.
With full drop-in/drop-out support (LAN play only), and customisable agent assignment, get ready to experience Satellite Reign like never before.
Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game, set in an open-world cyberpunk city. You command a group of 4 agents through rain-soaked, neon-lit streets, where the law is the will of mega-corporations. Use your agents to sneak, shoot, steal, and sabotage your way up the corporate ladder, and take control of the most powerful monopoly of all time.
Each of your agents can be tailored toward your favoured play-style, while still maintaining their own unique specialisations. Shape your team into an offensive war machine, or an elite covert spec-ops outfit, and take the open-world city as your own.
The city of Satellite Reign is one big, open playground. No individual levels to pick between, the whole world can be explored seamlessly. Uncover new missions while you explore, and pick and choose which objectives you want to tackle.
Each of your four agents can be tailored to suit your play style. Choose their skills, weapons, gear, augmentations, and even their genetic base by cloning exceptional individuals from the general population.
There's no 'right-way' to complete your objectives. The world has been designed to facilitate emergent gameplay, allowing you to choose from and combine a wide range of strategic options. Sneak in through ventilation shafts, hack doors, take out power generators, hijack the minds of guards, or just blow the front door down. Countless opportunities await.
