Grab The Games: Satellite Reign

I think that this game doesn't need any introduction because it has sold a lot of copies since the first day of release and got some triumph reviews from a lot of sites. But in case you didn’t have the chance to play this game let me tell you what this is all about. 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. 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 organization 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.

I am totally hooked with this game and let me tell you why! First and foremost, the game gives you total freedom in the way you will play it. It gives you a level of freedom I have never seen before in a game! You can create your own strategies, you can do whatever you like to achieve your goals in this game. You can manipulate the objects around you, hack them do whatever your mind can think so you will achieve your goal. Another amazing aspect is the way you can customize your team and use their abilities in game so you can actually get further in the game and beat your enemies.

Another positive aspect for me is the city freedom it give you that I haven't seen for a long time in the game. You can move freely around the city, there is also a wanted system that will hunt you around in case you are too hostile and kill everyone. However there are some negative aspects with some of them totally expected. First of all there are a lot of bugs in the game some lag now and then but the devs are working hard to crash them all. Also a super negative for me is the cameras in order to see further in the maps you need to go into that place that your screen view ends and then press again so you see further which is really annoying and you can't have free camera rotation. Furthermore, there is not enough deep storyline at the moment.

To sum up, the game is really amazing and even in this pre-alpha state it is really promising. I hope the devs will keep up optimizing and developing more until they implement all the futures they have planned for game. I have really faith in this title and I bet it will be soon evolved into something epic
