As expected, real-time strategy game Satellite Reign recently began itsKickstarter project, and will need £350,000 ($532,455) by July 28 to become a reality.

Satellite Reign is a real-time strategy game that draws inspiration fromSyndicate Wars, another tactical game developed in 1996 for PlayStation and DOS by 5 Lives lead Mike Diskett. The project boasts emergent gameplay within a "living metropolis," along with tactical combat driven by different character classes, weapons and augmentations.

Satellite Reign's crowdfunding campaign is already off to a great start, as it has raised £95,474 ($145,244) thanks to 3,355 backers so far. The developer is looking to bring the game to Steam and GOG for PC, Mac and Linux, with DRM-free options being made available to all backers.
