- In a nutshell: turn-based spy strategy
Most strategy games offer a mix of military and economic features, and the distribution of proportions between these elements determines the general character of the gameplay. Other strategic themes and topics, such as politics and intelligence are rather rarely used by developers. Even if they are used in strategy titles, they have a form of additional activities in comparison with the main features of the game. For this reason, Sigma Theory: Global Cold War is a worthwhile strategy game.
The action of the game takes place in the near future, and your task is to lead the intelligence organization of one of the world's powers during the new Cold War. During the game, you manage the organization's staff, manage organization's resources, and most importantly – recruit new agents, to whom you commission intelligence missions. All employed characters have their individual motivation and personality, which may affect their effectiveness and loyalty. Therefore, it is important to assign appropriate tasks to your agents, because hostile agencies may persuade them to betray you.
If you're interested in stealth activities, undercover missions, dirty blackmailing or bribing high officials of enemy forces, then Sigma Theory: Global Cold War can offer you what you're looking for, especially since the title doesn't have too much competition in that particular niche. Keep in mind that this is a turn-based strategy. The game is available on PC and has been announced for mobile devices.
