As the creators seem to like Oscar Wilde, I'm sure they won't be surprised by this quote: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." I think this game is good on its own merits, but is a little too heavily inspired by Disco Elysium. In fact, it's so similar that when my friend randomly walked by and saw me playing this game the first thing they said was: "is this Disco …

A decent narrative-driven game, with some significant caveats. I think this is the most blatantly Disco Elysium-inspired game I've ever played, right down to it opening in the aftermath of the player character's alcohol-fueled bender. Trouble is, Disco Elysium was still a CRPG, despite lacking many of that genre's hallmark mechanics. Sovereign Syndicate's RPG mechanics are a paper-thin veneer. Your ability to make …

I really loved this game and it surprised me. When it first started and I saw the interface, the voices inside the head, the inebriated, down on his luck main character, I thought – ‘No! Please don’t try to remake Disco Elysium. Stop!’ But I kept going and although the gameplay mechanics are similar, the story is very different. You play 4 very different characters in a lovely steampunk world. The art work is …

Sovereign Syndicate is a narrative-driven role-playing game developed by Crimson Herring Studios that blends classic CRPG sensibilities with a distinctive Victorian steampunk setting. Drawing clear inspiration from titles such as Disco Elysium and traditional tabletop role-playing systems, the game emphasizes storytelling, character development, and player choice over combat-heavy mechanics. The result is an …

Great game to explore a steampunk fantasy world while sipping on a cup of tea! Storyline is interesting and the character designs along with the skills/attributes system makes it a clear: GO PLAY! Don't compare this with disco elysium's complexity, this game has a charm of its own!

74% of the 192 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Sovereign Syndicate. The complaint that keeps coming up: heavily inspired by Disco Elysium but inferior. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Sovereign Syndicate received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. RPGFan noted, "Sovereign Syndicate is a game of highs and lows. If there is to be more to the story, the gameplay portion would need some rethinking to make it work. But on the positive side, I loved the world and characters, and I'd be excited to see more of them." PC Invasion praised the writing but felt the ending was rushed. PC Gamer said with its emphasis on roleplay rather than combat and borrowings from Disco Elysium, Sovereign Syndicate feels like another step forward for the CRPG. RPGamer said that the game "makes for a lovely take on the gaslamp fantasy…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This starts out pretty charming and fun, but snowballs into a pile of repetitive tasks set in the exact same 5 locations that you grow tired of after the second go. Quests have no branching resolutions so if you failed one dialogue check you either reload or you're done with it forever. QoL stuff is mediocre at best. I really tried to stick with it until the end - the game isn't very long - but realizing you're not completing a 16 hour long quest because of a very random skill check in an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →According to the achievements I completed seven of this game's eighteen chapters. I have absolutely no desire to continue, and my recommendation to others is to not start at all. I don't think I've ever played a game with such an interesting premise and potential in world building that was so incredibly boring. One of the characters is a Minotaur illusionist, another is a dwarf with a robot pal verging on sentience, and the other is a lady.... You'd think there would be SOMETHING interesting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →80% of players didn't even get past chapter 2 of 18. I am one of them. The in-game graphics are very weak, the music isn't offensive, but seems to be on a 30 second loop, there's no voice acting, failing or succeeding a skill check results in an identical outcome, except that you maybe get some bonus exp on a success. The game is extremely abrupt with its introduction and then is paced terribly. You wake up being jostled by a seeming bounty hunter, who just peaces out and says "ok go ahead…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very disappointing game. It is technically Disco Elysium alike but really it can't hold a candle. The plot is weak, the characters shallow, and the maps are dull and largely empty of anything but fluff descriptions. The story is overall poorly implemented - it goes from setting-the-scene to a mad rush of story leaps and then the end. I don't feel like I had much control over the story either - it felt on rails, but I cannot be bothered replaying bits to see if I can change any major…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game could be great for all I know, but I cant get passed the wiggling camera that causes motion sickness with no way to turn that off that I can find. Can't recommend a game that misses an accessibility option thats so obvious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright. Sovereign Syndicate is done and dusted. I've seen this described as a Disco Elysium-like, but I haven't quite gotten around to playing DE yet. It does seem like an accurate comparison best I can tell though. This is a semi open world RPG with zero combat. Everything is resolved via dialogue decisions and skill checks. To that end, it is important to note that this is a dialogue dependent game, so for people unwilling to read and pay attention to what they are reading, this isn't the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a tough one to figure out my feelings for, but it did make me feel like I needed to say something about it. I wish there was a sideways thumb to rate this game using, since it wasn't the worst, but it also wasn't anything very good either. Now I played this game because of its obvious, intentional resemblance to Disco Elysium, and that is exactly what I wanted from the game. It succeeded in some ways in replicating what was enjoyable in DE, but in most ways it was very pale in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers have clearly done a lot of work, and I feel like I should reward them for going for a narrative-heavy CRPG (because it is a risk). But this type of game depends 100% on the writing, and this just isn't at the level it needs to be. I could expand on smaller issues with stuff like items in the environment rarely being interesting to interact with, unmemorable characters or the mouse-over words feeling superfluous, but everything comes back to the writing just not being good enough…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its no Disco Elysium. Now that we have that out of the way - it's still an interesting mix of visual novel and point and click adventure, with some very light RPG mechanics. Ending seems to hint that there will be more to come.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Low concept and extremely low frequency imitation of what is clearly supposed to be an ode to Disco Elysium. This here game is what happens when morbidly unexceptional people try to write a storyline with the weak understanding of alt-polit culture only a redditor possesses. Trying to impose the clear conviction and world-view of the writers on a subject matter that is supposedly rooted in conservative times is exactly what Disco Elysium avoided. Ask yourself why Disco Elysium felt so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RPG and adventure with a lot of secrets to uncover.... love it ! A game, you can and want to play more than once, as you always discover new things, if you are courageous enough to risk ways and traits for your Chars. I was a newbie to tarot and all.... and was very positively surprised, how easily the game teaches you how to lead your chars through their paths. Highly recommended!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy the setting to a large extent and the game looks nice and it is refreshing to see a non-combat based RPG but... The game doesn't feel very RPG. The characters feel extremely defined, meaning if you don't like a character, there isn't really a way of getting them to shut up. The 'Hope' meter is super basic and makes even random dialogue choices feel like a massive non-choice, as some choices boil down to 'gain Hope' or 'lose Hope' and 'Hope' is essentially health. The stat system is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mom, can we have Disco Elysium? No. There is Disco Elysium at home. Disco Elysium at home... No, seriously: Sovereign Syndicate has style, atmosphere and a pretty unique setting, but the writing just doesn’t carry it. The pacing feels off, characters lack depth and choices rarely feel impactful if not outright railroading the player. It’s clear a lot of effort went into this and it has some interesting mechanics, but as a heavily narrative-driven RPG, it needs way stronger writing and actual…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It really breaks my heart to have to give Sovereign Syndicate a negative review; I despise ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the hard work of the talented dev teams of any game, especially a game with such promise. But I can't in good faith recommend this game to my friends, which is why ultimately I have to give this a thumbs down. I'll start off with the good parts of this game. This is a very interesting world! I like the idea of a semi-fantasy steampunk world, and it carries it's premise very well. On that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to cautiously rate Sovereign Syndicate as positive, but, as I started writing this, I kept coming up with more reasons to wave people away than beckon them towards. Sovereign Syndicate tells the story of three, eventually four, protagonists, as they each try to pick up their lives from the gutter. It is not a story of their triumphs per se. It is most certainly the story of how the crown takes advantage of their predicaments and emotional vulnerabilities to manipulate them into…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The most entertaining thing about this game are the Oscar Wilde quotes. - The story is decent, but it drags. - The gimmick of switching between 3 characters becomes tiresome quickly. - The UI is aggravating. You have no control over the camera, and spend the entire game focused on the top of your characters head. - I could go on, but this game took enough of my time already. I recommend you play "The Necromancer's Tale" instead if you like this genre. It is much better implemented and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was okay and I don't regret my time spent playing it, but I don't think what is there is worth $26. A lot of the weaknesses fell under this game’s lack of identity - it wants to be Disco Elysium SO bad (opens with a character recovering from a bender, morale system, skills speak to you, skill checks function almost exactly the same etc) but most of what is copied is not as strong. For example the morale system was so easy to game that I kept forgetting about it. Also the solution to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has a promising start and premise, the story itself is interesting enough, but thats unfortunately about all it has going for it. The gameplay is simply, hardly even a game. The dialogue choices are slim and seldom matter much. It would have done much better to have leaned on its comic elements and been a visual novel than whatever this is trying to be. All of this could be looked past if the ending was satisfactory but it is not. It is instead a rushed exposition dump of the authors going…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shouldn't be compared to Disco Elysium much, because it just can never hold against it. Was the ending good? No. Was it an open world? No. Did I enjoy the story and characters? Yes. Did I like the roleplaying aspects? Yeah, somewhat. I wish they would do some QoL improvements. They are desperately needed, but overall I had my fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sovereign Syndicate is very much like Disco Elysium, to the extend that it even starts in exactly the same way (with the protagonist waking up with voices in his head after a drinking bender). It plays pretty much the same way too, and luckily the story is different after initial similarities. The writing is on-par with Disco Elysium (aka: very good), but unfortunately the presentation for me turned this game into a bit of a chore. To me, it felt like 30% of the game was staring at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not regret the time, nor the money I've spent on this game, and I have much faith in the next games from this developer, but this one came out quite rough and unpolished; It could use a Final Cut. I would not recommend anyone not ravenous for a cRPG to play this. While the story and the world are captivating enough, the gameplay was quite dissapointingly dull at some points. The game has an open world, but does not utilize it beyond the introductory chapters to the characters -- there is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, as long as you know what you're getting into. This is not Disco Elysium. Almost nothing you do will have significant consequences. This is more like a visual novel and the story is pretty linear. The side quests are flexible and you can even skip them. The world building is excellent but once the novelty wears off, it becomes a drudgery to finish the game. It would have been nice if it was fully voiced, but there's a song in one of the chapters!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This would maybe deserve a neutral thumb, but ultimately, game just fails to deliver on its promise of a cool, mysterious RPG-like TTRPG/visual novel experience. POSITIVES: - Nice art overall - Cool world & ambience - Dialogue, while not always great, feels authentic to the world and was mostly quick and to the point (instead of becoming word diarrhea like some other games in this genre) - The hope meter, while not significant as a mechanic, was actually memorable even still. I kept track of…

neutral · AI labelView post →I wanted to like this game very badly but just couldn't. First of all, as you might already know, there is not much to do in game beside reading. Writing isn't bad per se, I would even go ahead and say it's decent but it kinda lacks variability (at least for a game that Sovereign Syndicate tries to be). Dialogues may have varied outcomes dependent on your choices and build but there are too few of those. And some other boxes of texts (namely those you get when clicking on items while…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sovereign Syndicate My God, does this story go anywhere? Ever? Sovereign Syndicate (SS) is a visual novel more than a game. I can't call it a RPG because I don't feel I have a lot of player agency and the choices made don't seem to have any impact on the story. It's taken a page out of the Disco Elysium book but doesn't have nearly the same writing, choice /consequence, mechanics, voice acting, player agency and or story that Disco Elysium has. This is a game that just treads water for hours…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a unique game in that it doesn't have any combat, but isn't completely a "point and click" either. You play as a few different characters which I initially was confused about, because I didn't have time to finish my side quests before the switch. The quests stay with your characters, however, so you can finish them when you get thrown back into that character. I really liked the different perspectives offered by looking at the same item (or interacting with a different character) from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a linear click, and read game with a story that fails to grab my attention. I may give it another go, but the three characters are far from what I'd describe as interesting protagonists, and it jumps between the three randos too afraid to commit to any one story.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 333: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆☆ (5/10) So, this is a weird one. I dropped the game last year after finishing Chapter 8 (I played it offline mode) and decided to give it a try. But I still didn't click with it. Maybe it's my fault for buying into the "steampunk Disco Elysium" angle, but Sovereign Syndicate is definitely not that. It's not even an CRPG, I would argue, more like a visual novel. Which is fine, but markedly different than an RPG. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am torn on this game, it did keep me engaged but a lot about it feels like an incoherent mess. Had it been in negatived or mixed rating I would have given it thumbs up but as it firmly in Very Positive I'll give it a contrarian "nope". It explores interesting ideas but also stumbles hard as an RPG. For general context, this is a one of those combatless CRPGs of whom Disco Elysium is most iconic and influential, down to these often being labelled "Disco Elysium-likes". This one doesn't hide…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm enjoying the story and playing the different characters (you end up playing several different people working towards the outcome, very narrative heavy and exploration game, if you like those 2 things you will enjoy this. I just finished all 18 chapters, I enjoyed the story, my best advice would be to use each character you play to explore EVERYTHING, even things you already explored with another character, as the outcome will be different. Go enjoy the Syndicate!

When it first started and I saw the interface, the voices inside the head, the inebriated, down on his luck main character, I thought – ‘No! Please don’t try to remake Disco Elysium.

Quickly I found the familiar dialogue bar, points and rolls…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've never played Disco Elysium. Found this listed on an article of hidden gems during the Steam sale, and it seemed interesting so here I am. Finished this in two sessions (badly, I missed a tonne of side quests). The second was supposed to be a quick hour in the evening and I lost track of time and accidentally finished the story. I figure that's a positive. Another positive is that I plan to at some point replay the game and make worse choices. I have plenty of gripes: One of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly, this game was a disappointment. I hoped it would play out like a steampunk fantasy version of Disco Elysium, but the similarities are just an empty shell. It's a text based point & click adventure with some different character traits that affect some checks in dialogues, but most of the checks seems insignificant and the leveling up system is boring. There are sidequests but they're mostly unrewarding. When you finish them nothing meaningful happens. The artwork has its charms here…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun point and click adventure. There is no combat, it is all skill checks. Instead of dice it is your base stat + the number on the tarot card you draw. The devs did a great job making each of the characters not only feel unique, but make their interactions with the same NPCs feel different. For achievement hunters, not all of the achievements are straight forward (like the ones you get for beating each chapter). The game is not currently voice acted (except a singing scene), though the devs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a high-quality detective game, and the investigation is conducted not only by the characters but also by the player, since only the player can piece together the clues from their three different stories told from three different perspectives, to figure things out before the game reveals them (or doesn’t reveal them at all). The main characters are very vivid, distinctive, and are a stark contrast to each other, which is why Syndicate also works really well as a role-playing game,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If Fallen London crossed with Disco Elysium sounds like a good thing to you, then buy this game. One thing this studio seems to do fairly well is pick up on the good bits of other games, and mix them up with some extra flavour. 8/10. would recommend for a wet Sunday evening when you don't really want to think about going to work on Monday.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An interesting, and ultimately decent, game. It's clearly influenced by Disco Elysium in specific and narrative RPGs in general. The writing is generally decent-to-good, and it did feel like enough of an RPG that my stats mattered, but I question how much influence you'd truly have across the unfolding of the narrative other than a few choices at the very end. Ultimately, while the core experience of the narrative is good, you can tell the game had a VERY limited budget in most other aspects.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expected something like Disco Elysium when I went into this game and I was not disappointed! The game is like an adventure with some rpg elements mixed in, but it's main strength isn't the gameplay, which is nothing new under the sun (that's okay!), it's the world building and the story. The mixture of steampunk and fantasy was quite captivating and I really wanted to see where it would take the three playable main characters. I also liked that they weren't destined to "save London", or even…

neutral · AI labelView post →Sovereign Syndicate is a very different kind of experience to what I expected, and it is certainly not for everyone. It is more like an isometric walking-simulator than anything, with you exploring an alternate London shaped by steampunk, multiple mythological species and the occassional bit of magic. I think the cutoff point for most will come down to how much reading you can tolerate, for there is a lot here. If you can deal with that, and you like adventures and alternate history, or just…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Personally I don't like multiple protagonists. Also I don't think it is an RPG. And finally it isn't even close to Disco Elisium level.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was a good game; it kept me hooked right up until the end.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has some potential but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ having one good character and mystery would have been better than four half baked characters and an incredibly lackluster mystery. Also, no real consequences to any of your choices or actions, failing or succeeding a check will not change anything

Not sure everyone will understand the Scottish lass banter and pronunciation but, it's great. Well worth a few £ for this, it's long mind you so, i do hope you love a good read. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've very much liked this game so far, i'd been eyeing it for a while. It's like Disco Elysium lite, and i mean that in the most positive, flattering way possible. I always really liked the DE mechanics, but the tone and plot were a bit too... real? I quite like the tarot system in lieu of dice too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed the world building, I enjoyed the Tarot Mechanics, and the Planescape: Torment/Disco Elysium stylings of the game. Top marks for the Otto chapter, honestly wish there had been more time playing the quirky automaton! The Bad: Choices weren't really meaningful, it really was more of a visual novel than anything, and very meandering/not too exciting. It really felt like the introduction for another game. I would love to see more produced in this world but I would like some proper…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No doubt the game is flavorful - the steampunk aesthetic and feel hits the nail. But I expected so much more from this game. In the end, it feels like a boring linear, read & click, fetch quest game that has no stakes. I genuinely got bored by the 4 hour mark and could not care to continue.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't expect Disco Elysium, but this is worth playing if you liked D.E. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and storytelling in this unique "steampunk" world. Once you get used to the "story told from multiple perspectives and characters" nature of the game its rich and engaging. Kudos for putting it together, not being wholly predictable, and making me care about what happens to all (very minor spoiler) four protagonists
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An isometric psychological steampunk RPG inspired by Disco Elysium. Graphics is a mix of steampunk, victorian and fantasy elements, the closest equivalent would be show Carnival Row. The world is shown from a fairly distant isometric-like camera, with 2-D character close-ups during conversations and occational motion comics depicting action scenes. Music works well with the setting. At the time of this review there is almost no voice acting, but it will be added in the future update. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That was a legitimately good game. Like, really good. It's similar in gameplay to Disco Elysium. It's also similar in quality. The game is told in, like, 18 chapters. Each chapter is about one of the 3-4 main characters. The characters occasionally run into each other but they don't work together. The stories: A junkie orphan minotaur wants to find his mom, a cyborg dwarven monster hunter engineer wants to improve his robot and a high class prostitute wants to skip town but is instead…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just have to say that everyone is comparing this to Disco Elysium. For me Disco Elysium was a little boring and I couldn't get past the first 30 minutes. this game is way more interesting. the world is stimulating and the people are neat. I will say some of the open areas are a little to big and they could do with a run button.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →definitely needs some QoL improvements, like tracking the main quest; I've failed so many side activities just because I accidentally progressed the plot to the next chapter Also it is not as much RPG as it is adventure game with some skillchecks
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the character swaps were annoying since you suddenly have to remember what was happening there and also ruined the immersion. (6/10)
