Isometric mech action game Brigador, formerly known as Matador, has just gotten a fancy new trailer showing some shooting in a futuristic cityscape.

The independent action game is currently in development at Stellar Jockeys, who intends to create an isometric vehicular combat game that is highly reminiscent of the old Syndicate games from Bullfrog, complete with a dystopian society and all.

The company has now released a new trailer for Brigador, which underwent a name change in order to provide a helping hand to those searching for it, and to avoid confusion with similarly titled games, and it appears that the devs have already implemented a few of the base gameplay mechanics, as the video also features a bit of combat.

"We're also seriously reconsidering whether we want to go down the road of early access. Admittedly there are advantages there, not the least of which is getting a much larger number of eyes on the game before its release and simply getting the money train rolling sooner rather than later. The downside however is that you're starting to see a backlash against early access games, and rightfully so methinks," the developers write on their blog.

Syndicate offered an experience that seemed well ahead of its time, with deep mechanics and twists and missions that somehow didn't feel the same, although they were, most of the time, similar in nature. We have yet to see whether the similarly stylized Brigador can raise to the challenge of delivering an experience that's up to par with the classic's.
