Compare Central Intelligence prices across 50+ stores and find the best deal. Developed by OCEAN Software. Published by Ziggurat. Released on 4/13/2018. Available on PC. Genres: Action, Simulation, Strategy.

A 2018 strategy sim where you balance propaganda, military, and political leverage to run covert CIA operations, shallow on simulation depth but honest about its budget limits.

Central Intelligence asks you to juggle three levers of influence across CIA-style missions: propaganda, military force, and political maneuvering. The hook is real-time decision-making under incomplete information, which sounds tighter than it plays. The UI is functional but not elegant, tutorial coverage is bare-bones, and the AI doesn't punish sloppy play hard enough to make victory feel earned. If you're chasing Paradox-grade strategic complexity or even a polished DEFCON-style tension, you'll bounce off this within an hour. But if you're a budget-strategy scavenger who enjoyed games like Assault Android Cactus era indie titles and don't mind clunky interfaces, there's a modest puzzle here: finding the right mix of soft power versus hard power to achieve objectives without triggering countermeasures. It's thin gruel, but it exists. Diego, Scout Team
