This game is rated ESRB: Teen for Animated Blood and Animated Violence.
Syndicate Wars is a real-time tactical strategy game developed by Bullfrog Productions and released in 1996 for PC (DOS, Windows) and Mac. Set in a dystopian urban future, the game puts players in command of a squad of cybernetically enhanced agents operating on behalf of one of two rival factions: the megacorporation EuroCorp or the religious insurgent group New Epoch. Missions unfold from an isometric perspective and involve assassination, sabotage, and elimination of targets across densely populated city environments. Research funding can be directed toward agent upgrades and weapons development between missions. A notable tool available in the field is the Persuadertron, a device capable of mind-controlling civilians or enemy agents to serve as auxiliary combatants. The game builds on the framework established by the original Syndicate, emphasizing resource management alongside the direct tactical control of a small, heavily armed team.
“Remember, the meek shall inherit nothing.” - The Book of Cataclysm Congratulations on becoming our newest EuroCorp Executive! You now hold the distinctive honor of being one of the few who will determine the shape of our Company. Your EX-ALFA3 clearance allows you to use the Marionette Remote Drone Operation Suite. Your squad of Agents will follow every order without fail or question, and you are free to eliminate or destroy any targets as you see fit. This will serve you well as those zealots of the Church of the New Epoch think they can compete against our Company. Your mission is to remove them completely. To that end, we have transferred 50,000 EuroCorp credits to your account. Failure to use your funds wisely or to eliminate the competition will require you to auto-euthanize. We feel confident that your skills and integrity will ensure that this state of affairs will never arise. Sincerely, The EuroCorp Board of Directors
