Play Syndicate (Japan) Online

Syndicate on the Super Nintendo was a 1995 release from Ocean Software, a port of the earlier computer game. It arrived late in the SNES lifecycle, a time when many developers were pushing the hardware with complex, often darker themed games that stood apart from the brighter platformers and RPGs common earlier in the console's run.

You control a team of four cybernetically enhanced agents from a top-down perspective, directing them through hostile, futuristic city grids to complete missions like assassinations or data theft. The core mechanics involve using the Persuadatron, a device to mind-control civilians and police into fighting for you, managing your agents' cyberware upgrades between missions, and navigating the real time tactical combat where friendly fire and environmental hazards are constant threats. The pacing is deliberate and the difficulty is steep, punishing careless moves with squad wipes. It feels like directing a messy, unpredictable sci-fi thriller where every successful mission is a relief.
