EGX 2015: 8 Unexpectedly Good Video Games That Blew Us Away

3. Sigma Theory

Sigma Theory is a political espionage game set to be released on iOS, Android and PC; you play as a global superpower trying to exploit a new energy source to become the superior state. Players can send agents across the world to band together with terrorists or disrupt other nations to ensure that they cannot develop faster than you can. What's particularly striking about this game is the elegance of it; when dragging and dropping agents into other nation states, it really conveys the scale of this game, similar to Pandemic or the Mastermind games. Certainly if its released on touch devices, it could have as much standing as Papers, Please in terms of complexity and ability to depict different cultures. While this game is still only in its Alpha build, and there is a lot more yet to be developed, this is still impressive enough to put on your wish lists.
