Gameplay of Sigma Theory: Global Cold War

The race for technology

Sigma Theory: Global Cold War takes you into a science-fiction world where scientists make an unprecedented discovery, enabling the design of a range of the most advanced technologies for a variety of applications, from cosmetics to the military. The great nations want to seize this technology to consolidate their power against their rivals, and here you'll play the leader of your country's espionage unit in a race to obtain this technology.

The complete espionage phase

Espionage is the focal point of the game, and is highly developed. To achieve your goals, you'll be able to use all the weapons and techniques at hand, such as seduction, won technologies and industrial espionage.

First of all, you'll need to assemble a team of 4 agents from the 50 playable and unlockable during your adventure, each with their own motivations and traits. A range of profiles, including hacker, military and investigator, are available, enabling you to build teams suited to the different types of mission you'll encounter. Forge relationships with over 100 NPCs of all classes to achieve your goals and grant you specific services.

You can then carry out a variety of missions such as chases through the city, investigations into rival politicians, kidnappings or exfiltrations of your precious scientists.

Rival countries can also carry out counter-espionage operations and try to seize your technologies or bribe members of your entourage.

Finally, diplomacy can prove very useful in winning the favor of your foreign counterparts and thus recover your captured agents or accelerate the progress of your research.

Various technologies to use

During your operations, you'll be able to exploit the technologies you acquire as you progress through Sigma Theory: Global Cold War to facilitate the accomplishment of your missions.

Discover and use skills you can gain by advancing your scientific research, such as the use of robot soldiers, mind manipulation or even immortality.

Each different technology will earn you specific skills that you'll need to use judiciously in all your missions.
