The future. {{Mega Corp}}s de facto rule the world, keeping the poor downtrodden with the iron fist of corporate security and the middle class comfortably apathetic, feeding the rich who live in the lap of luxury. Yet among all of them, one stands out: Dracogenics. A mysterious organisation has risen to challenge the status quo, but to what end? Liberating the masses from corporate oppression or taking over as the new overlords? That is where you come in, controlling four Agents of this organisation to fight the power.

* OptionalStealth: Going around running down people is perfectly feasible. However, you can also use stealth to accomplish most objectives without firing a shot, and early on you might want to stick to it while your weapons are poor and your Agents weak.

* OptionalStealth: Going around running down people is perfectly acceptable. However, you can also use stealth to accomplish most objectives without firing a shot, and early on you might want to stick to it while your weapons are poor and your Agents weak.

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: You're nominally fighting the power, but since this is a ''VideoGame/{{Syndicate}}'' SpiritualSuccessor, a lot of morally suspect methods will be used.
