Syndicate is an isometric tactical action and strategy game released by Bullfrog Productions in 1993 for the Sega Genesis. Set in a dark cyberpunk future where ruthless corporations rule, you take command of a squad of up to four cybernetically enhanced agents. Players must outfit their team with increasingly devastating weapons and physical modifications, then deploy them into sprawling cities to complete missions ranging from assassinations to persuading key targets.
How to play
Your objective is to expand your syndicate's global dominance by completing contracts region by region, while managing funds and researching new cybernetics. Use the directional keys to navigate your agents through the isometric environments. The controls are mapped for the browser: use the arrow keys to move, S for the A button, X for the B button, Z for the C button, Enter for Start, and Shift for Mode. You can also interact with the game's interface using the mouse.
Tips
- Research new weapons and cybernetic upgrades early; enhancing your agents' legs and brains significantly improves their combat effectiveness and reaction times.
- The Persuadertron is one of the most powerful tools in the game. Use it to recruit civilians, police, and even enemy agents to build a massive, heavily armed entourage.
- Managing your tax rates in conquered territories is crucial for funding your research, but pushing taxes too high will spark rebellions that force you to replay missions.
