Satellite Reign

Good game but frustrationing.

The game is a real time squad based tactical black ops corp espionage game set in a cyberpunk style mega city. Pros: - Beautiful looking game, lots of neon and mega city feel. -Large range of equipment, augmentations, weapons. -Decent range of skills. -Most facilities have multiple ways to approach them usually having back doors, or vents you can use for entrance to the facilities. -You can hack guards, patrol drones, etc. and use them until you send the guard back for cloning or they are killed. Cons: - The real time aspect has no pause so you if you go for a combat option you can quickly get overwhelmed managing your team, especially if you hack and are controlling multiple guards. Your only option is to use a time slowing power from one of your team which drains their power so using any of his other abilities shortens your slow time. - Every facility has an unlimited number of security personnel and no matter how fast you kill them more will arrive. I really wish they had a cap of onsite personnel so if you blast through the security you can have a minute or two before off site support personnel arrived. This pretty much rules out any combat options for success. - fifteen hours in the enemy always has better equipment than you. They have units with body armor. You get body armor, they get shields. You get energy shields, they get mini guns. Always being behind the tech curve gets really annoying which makes a combat option no matter how well executed ending in you being overwhelmed by high tech. - without a pause it is hard to control your team if you split up. - You cannot zoom out far enough to get a good overview of where you are and where the enemy is. - It is hard to determine which cover blocks line of sight and which cover does not. It is a good game but has flaws that can cause a fifteen minute stealth run to turn into a slaughter of your team because of something that seemed very arbitrary, which can cause a lot of frustration.
