GOG Slashes Syndicate Prices for 24 Hours



For a short time Syndicate and Syndicate Wars can be purchased together for $3.58.

While the 2012 reboot of the Syndicate games failed to be much more than a <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/9442-Syndicate-Review>run-of-the-mill first person shooter, there are a still a lot of gamers with fond memories of the tactical strategy titles that served as the franchise's foundation in the early and mid-1990s. Whereas the shooter was pretty much a generic amalgamation of current trends, the older games established themselves as gritty forays into the world of corporate warfare that were drenched in death, destruction and cyberpunk.

Now, GOG is offering a special <a href=http://www.gog.com/promo/gem_promo_syndicate_series_stacking_230913>24-hour deal on <a href=http://www.gog.com/game/syndicate>Syndicate and its sequel <a href=http://www.gog.com/game/syndicate_wars>Syndicate Wars that packages them together at a 70 percent discount. In other words, for the next seventeen hours or so (as of this writing) you can buy both games for a mere $3.58. If you decide you just want one of them the discount drops to 60 percent off, or $2.39 each.

This brief deal comes in celebration of GOG's recent update of its version of Syndicate. Where previously it had been missing, consumers who buy Syndicate at GOG will now be privy to the American Revolt mission pack, which adds more content to the game's already robust experience. Customers who previously purchased Syndicate will be able to update their copy of the game free of charge. All in all, if you like strategy titles, cyberpunk, or just cheap good games, this is a decent deal.

I already have Syndicate from GoG but Syndicate Wars for less than the price of a cheeseburger and a gallon of gas? My money. Shut up and take it.

That's the boat I'm in, too. Though I will say that the addition of the "American Revolution" expansion means I can now truly relive the days of the awesome pack-in CD that came with my old 486. (Wing Commander II, Strike Commander, Syndicate Plus and Ultima VIII? Not a bad place to start PC gaming way back when.)

Those were the days... I already have Wing Commander 1-4, Privateer 1 and 2, Syndicate, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, and quite a few others. I have been eyeing Star Control 1 and 2 and now Syndicate wars is cheap... It's funny that games from 15+ years ago are probably going to be my biggest staple between now and Star Citizen's next module release. Strike Commander is going on the list too.

It's important to remember your roots I guess.

Syndicate Wars was a day one purchase for me when it surfaced on GOG and I already had Syndicate from them by that point.. but chalk up another voice to the "Buy this!" crowd. Hey, free expansion for me. Neat.

Man I love this game so much. It was definitely one of the first games I ever fully, obsessively completed.

Buying it now...
