Perturabo.235: What is damage model like? Is it very lethal like in Syndicate 1?
I don't know if it resembles Syndicate much at all to be honest - it's more like
Commandos.
In Syndicate you had direct control of your agents - you could control where they shoot etc - a bit like Cannon Fodder.
Later levels with the miniguns could kill you in seconds.
(especially American Revolt) This is more like an RTS with your
agent units shooting all on their own once you pick a target.
There's a cover system and some unit abilities to spice things up a bit.
Combat can get tricky if you take on too many enemies but half the time you'll be sneaking right past them.
(you are rewarded for this!) Syndicate was much more straightforward in that sense.
You won't be seeing any buildings collapse as in Syndicate Wars - no large scale destruction.
