This real-time tactical game tasks you with seizing global control through research, upgrades, and directing a lethal four-agent team.

Syndicate was developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts. It was originally released for MS-DOS in 1993, which is the earliest commercial release of the game on any platform. The DOS version is the original platform, so both release_year and original_release_year are 1993.

About Syndicate

Syndicate presents a near-future world dominated by corporate entities. The player assumes the role of an operative tasked with expanding their syndicate's influence through direct, violent means.

Missions are executed in real-time from an angled, overhead perspective. The player commands a squad of four agents through objectives that include destruction and acquisition. Success in these operations provides the financial resources necessary for progression.

Funds acquired are allocated toward agent recruitment, technological research, and equipment procurement. Agents can be enhanced with upgrades and tools, some of which are obtained from rival corporations. The core loop involves completing assignments to secure territories and advance within the corporate hierarchy.
