In the not too distant future, the world is divided into regions controlled
by mega-corporations known as Syndicates. In this future, business is war, and
you are the weapon: the latest prototype agent for Eurocorp, one of the most
ruthless Syndicates in a world dominated by greed…
Syndicate is the re-imagination of a cult classic franchise from 1993 – a
unique action shooter set in a not too distant future, where Business is War.
2069 – No longer governed by politicians, the developed world is divided up
into regions controlled by megacorporations known as Syndicates. These
Syndicates have revolutionized how the consumer interacts with the digital
world. No longer does the consumer require a device to access the world's data
and control their technology, they can do this at the blink of an eye via neural
chip implant. Civilians flocked to be “chip'd” and enjoy all that their
selected Syndicate has to offer; housing, medical, banking, insurance,
education, entertainment and jobs. One complete package. One complete lifestyle.
In return, the Syndicates gained unprecedented insights, and control, over the
individual and their behaviour. With little governmental oversight, business has
become war.
Take on the role of Miles Kilo, Eurocorp's latest prototype agent, and
embark on a brutal action adventure of corruption and revenge.

Chip Enhanced Gameplay: Slow down time, see through walls, and breach your
enemy and everything digital in the world with Dart vision – A neural DART6
chip implant that allows you to interface directly with the Dataverse.
4-Player Online Co-op: Assemble your Syndicate for global domination.
A 4-player, online co-op experience like no other, with chip enhanced gameplay

weapons, armor and ear to annihilate your enemies and harvest their chip
technology for personal advancement and sinister corporate greed.

world-class sci-fi story experience, written by bestselling author Richard
Morgan.
Review by Gamespot
“… it's important to know what you want from this shooter before you
commit. Come to it for the thrills of joining a team and mowing down gunners
like so many weeds in a Colorado research facility. Come to it for a chilly
vision of the future, where the minds of meddlers can be altered with a simple
computer program. There are numerous games better at providing single-player
satisfaction, however, and this is where Syndicate falters. While it isn't
entirely successful, the campaign still dares to be different. And while
"different” isn't the same as “great,” Syndicate reminds you that with a
bit of creative effort, shooters don't have to play by Modern Warfare rules to
be truly modern." 7.5/10
The Good
