Sigma Theory Global Cold War
From the creators of the award-winning sci-fi game Out There…
In the near future, a paradigm-shifting scientific discovery looms over the world, promising radical new technologies. The world’s superpowers realize they could have the power to destroy the global financial system, wipe out entire countries or even gain access to immortality.
However, this discovery — called “The Sigma Theory” — can only be harnessed by a handful of scientists. You are placed at the head of your country’s Sigma division. Your objective is to ensure that it is your nation that reaps the benefits of Sigma Theory before anyone else.
To achieve this you will have powerful resources at your disposal: a cadre of the world’s most elite covert agents, advanced tactical drones and, of course, your own skills in diplomacy and subterfuge.
It’s a cold war out there, one in which mankind must face up to its future.
Recruitment
First, recruit a team of four special agents from 50 unique unlockable characters to support your missions. Each comes with their own story, motivations and traits that define their behavior during missions. Access the investigator, soldier, hacker, seducer and other archetypes to complete your Sigma division and execute your strategy.
Espionage
When your team is ready, assign them missions around the world to gather scientists, discover compromising documents on local politicians, and more. Exploit your agents’ abilities to seduce, manipulate and bribe your targets over to your side or have them neutralized.
Counter-espionage
Other nations will also use their agents to infiltrate your country and seize your scientists. Track, capture and interrogate them to gain information on your enemies, then exchange them for ransom when they are no longer useful.
Exfiltration
Order your agents to exfiltrate scientists recruited to your cause during gripping turn-based exfiltration phases through the world’s greatest capitals. Choose the position your drones wisely to support these delicate missions.

Sigma Theory Global Cold War Review
Sigma Theory is a gem of a game.If you’re a fan of spy games that allow you to run your own spy network to save the world from all out chaos, this is the game for you. It runs like a board game so there is a random element to it that keeps every play through fresh and fun. The dev compares the game to a lot of different games XCom, Phantom Doctrine, Plague Inc, Pandemic (board game), Rocket Ranger, Tropico, Armello, Civilization, curious expedition, all of that is true,this game borrows a lot from those games. I’m very happy with my purchase. This is the game a lot of us spy fans have been waiting for.
It’s not perfect. I read some patch notes that sound like they nerf’d a few things to make it more easy. Also I’m not sure on how random it plays. I’m hoping the game is fully random so we can have endless replay value, but I can’t say that for sure yet. Also it’s single player. I think this game would be even better if we had local and online multiplayer. The game plays like a board game so it makes sense to make it multiplayer, but the devs decided not to and I haven’t heard any news of a planned multiplayer.
Few other cool things to point out about this game is it allows you to create your own Agents similar to the way Black Closet allows you to create new investigators. It also allows you to create your own translations for the game, so if your country’s langue isn’t in the game, you can put it in the game. If you want your Agents speaking Klingon you can do that if you put the time in to type it all in there. You can choose which sex you want to be and you can choose the sex of your spouse.
I’m still learning more abut this game so this review might get updated from time to time. Just buy it, it’s early access but it plays like a finished game.
