Syndicate Wars is an isometric real-time tactics game where you command a squad of cybernetically enhanced agents through urban combat zones. You're managing operations for a megacorporation, directing your team to eliminate rival factions through assassination, sabotage, and all-out firefights. The game lets you research upgrades that turn your agents into deadlier operatives. A signature mechanic: the Persuadertron, a device that hijacks civilians and enemy agents to fight for you, giving you instant cannon fodder or human shields. Missions play out across destructible cityscapes where you can use explosives and the environment tactically. You'll funnel credits into tech development between operations, choosing which weapons and augmentations to prioritize. The setting pits corporate armies against religious zealots in a cynical future where violence is currency. Expect zero hand-holding and plenty of collateral damage as you carve through objectives with whatever force you deem necessary.
