Played once thru so far. I almost resigned since I was so far behind in research, but i caught up and passed everyone to win. Was that a fluke or a flaw in the game? There's just enough to do each turn to make the gameplay interesting. You have to think a few steps ahead when you want to grow your pool of scientists without losing agents. Graphics are simple but appealing and the iconography is clear. I especially like identifying and recruiting scientists - real OPSEC stuff. Looking forward to trying again with new agents.

This is a very niche genre with most games being a disappointment. This game is okay. I would recommend it to try if you want a spy/diplomatic strategy game. My main complaint is that not all things seem balance is what you can do. It can also feel a bit more like a puzzle than a strategy game.. I define puzzle in that there ends up being 1 clear way of solving something. Still.. i give a positive cause this genre is fun to me and they at least made something fun.

This is a unique game, nothing quite like this in the market. It is basically a board game. You play as a boss of secret organization that tasked you to help your chosen country to win the tech rush, basically whoever earn most point the fastest win while at the same time keeping a doomdays clock as high as possible. The game itself doesn't explain itself well and the tutorial is barebone, the first wall every potential player will find it hard to overcome. But once you get the gist of it the game is very fun to play. A run took about an hour or two. The music blends in well and match with the spy theme. The random chances are there but you can guide it to your favor with preparations. There are no significant bug that I am aware while playing. No multiplayer though, there are not much point in unlocking more agents once you figure out the best agent of the role you want for the country you play. The AI does cheat with an unrealistic pace even if you are doing well. There are no room for roleplay or doing specific challenge (like pacific only or war crime only) because of the RNG which may limited your fun time of the game. There are almost no benefit or significant reward if you are doing well and get ahead of the race, like reaching a research point first or finish the entire research first, the minor trait it gives is minimal and can safely ignored. Still worth a try in my opinion, you should grab this game on sale.
