is the game worth it? is it FUN to play?

[Prince Ian]

and what is coop like?

[mr_spac3r]

No. When you leave your soldiers somewhere while infiltrating with one or two, they get shot at and just stand there getting killed. Also the city feels dead, all npc the same and so on. Was just checking in if they changed anything, bcz it could be a good game.

It's so fun to play that I played it for a year before moving on to Wasteland 2 and the Shadowrun Returns games. Those games aren't nearly as fun, as they have annoying problems that Satellite Reign does not have: In Wasteland 2 it's incredibly clunky to place all Rangers in cover before one of them starts a fight, which happens a lot. And in the Shadowrun Returns games I never get to plan the runs, and instead I have to accept whatever plan an NPC has come up with, which usually includes scheduled screw-ups and a lot of 'improvisations'.

Meanwhile Satellite Reign puts the player behind the wheel, and apart from the end goal being set in stone, it's total freedom to sneak or shoot, hack and hardwire, and do whatever seems like the best option for every mission. Or do what seems like the most fun option, since the best option might become a bit boring after a while. No scripted events at all. Just regular random patrols. So plans might work or fail, depending on player precautions.

OK, so the final boss might trigger some extra guards under certain circumstances. That's as close to a 'scripted event' that Satellite Reign gets.

Co-op can be a bit chaotic when one player does something that another player didn't anticipate, or annoying when I'm a humongous slowpoke who can't keep up with the rest of the team. Main difference is that instead of having the firepower of four agents, each player has less firepower, and therefore it might become more difficult to run around and just shoot every enemy that appears. I suppose that with voice communication it might be easy enough to coordinate a team so that more sophisticated plans could be set in motion, but I never bothered setting up any third party voice comm, so I never did it that way.

The biggest turn off for me with this game is lack of pause. I just don't like forced full time real time anything. You can use someone's mod to add pause but I don't really want to some random dude's modified Dll on my machine - ever - either. So, even at $5 on sale I still can't bring myself to pull the trigger on this after watching it forever now.

Yes, it is worth it and yes, it is fun to play. I have never tried the co-op, so I cant comment on that though.

[Salvadorc17]

Yes is fun, we should join together for coop match, becuase all seems to be created for password

I finished the game yesterday. Played the whole thing in co-op with a friend. Took us about 25 Hours.

We definitely had fun, BUT we think that the game slowly disintegrates the further you level your agents. After the second district, you basically only need the hacker and the infiltrator to do every mission. The support and the soldier stand outside the mission area and wait for when things go south, which they rarely do because even if the guards see and attack you, you can basically just walk around a corner and hide behind a trashcan until they stop looking for you.

It is a good game, but the freedom it gives you, in how you want to do things, lead to it being very easy. Especially later on, when the game begins to blur the lines between the classes.

It is worth the money though, if you have a friend to play with and just want to mess around in a cool cyberpunk open world without much of a challenge.

The Support agent gives you the pause option which requires just a few skill points (that's murdering a few people, robbing a bank, learning how to do simple terrorist stuff); it's better than a pause; it gives you bonuses for using it. HUGE bonuses for a "tactical pause" option that's just differently packaged with its own in-game lore - Team Stims.

As for whether Satellite Reign is fun... Oh yes. Played it with a friend, now bought it for myself plus another cyberpunk game that's of similar concept but with anime graphics...

Said other game seems to have had a greater and constant difficulty level but IMO falls short to the veritable rain of options that SR gives in real time and in a semi-open-world format. Looking at the city just functioning, imagining where people live, work and entertain themselves is just something few other games outside of a city builder would give you.

And 13 pages of discussions over the ending of a little indie game? That's months (for Gillsing -a year lol) of fun.

The game is awesome! If you like coop this is the game for you, because it was designed in a way to people rely on the team. Everybody has their role play skills and we have to work together in order to get the prototypes and stuff.



PS.: I'm looking for mates to play this in coop, you can add me if you like it :)

[iSheep]

I'd like to try coop, SR seems to be fun for that.

If you know what good gamplay and tight controls are you'll hate this pos.

If you like low fps regardless of rig, this is your game
