March 2025
Jagged Alliance has always been a unique tactical strategy game with its own distinctive mechanics and style. As a kid, I couldn’t really appreciate this masterpiece (mainly due to a lack of brainpower) , but I’ve finally gotten my hands on the “fresh” installment of the series. Right from the start, I had a sense of deja vu—the game initially felt complex and unwelcoming. I guess I’ve gotten used to modern games guiding you step-by-step through all the mechanics. Here, you’re given just a few basic text hints. It was funny to see a “tip” pop up at hour 19 of my play through. Still, once I got through the prologue and figured out (or so I thought) the game’s core systems, the learning phase smoothly turned into a planning and conquest phase. In terms of gameplay mechanics, it really reminded me of Silent Storm, a game I spent a lot of time with and used to consider one of the most well-designed and engaging tactics titles. This game even has destructible environments! Not fully destructible, of course, but I was thrilled when an RPG blast knocked down a house wall. I thought that kind of tech was long gone—but apparently not! Interestingly, there’s no visible hit percentage when shooting at enemies, so you’re basically firing “by feel.” At first, I didn’t like that system (and yes, you can change it with a mod) , but eventually I got used to it and actually started to enjoy it—it makes the game feel more realistic (though I did resort to save-scumming now and then) . Around hour 30, defending and capturing territories started to feel a bit repetitive, and I thought I was done with the game. But the next morning, like an addict, I was booting it up again, ready to wipe out more bad guys. And I think that says a lot—the core mechanics work so well that you just don’t get tired of playing. Combat alone isn’t enough—you also need to study the map, prep your squad, manage weapons and ammo, and most importantly, keep your finances in check. It may sound like a grind from the outside, but these layers actually make the experience more engaging and push you to think strategically. I never expected to enjoy spending so much time on the world map. The mission maps almost always have something interesting—a unique location or character. At first, I was skipping the dialogue, thinking this was just a mercenary conquest game. But once I started paying attention, I realised I was missing out on a surprisingly well-written and often funny story. Even though dialogue is presented through static character portraits, the voice acting is excellent and adds a lot of immersion. The quests, while often classic “fetch this, do that” types, are surprisingly creative and sometimes even interconnected. You rarely see that level of design anymore, even in AAA titles. The lack of obvious quest markers actually makes things more fun—you have to think a bit and interact with the world yourself. There’s also a lot of well-done, tongue-in-cheek humour and references. Surprisingly, the dialogue system feels fully fleshed out and offers meaningful variations, though I’m not entirely sure how much they affect gameplay. At some point, I thought nothing could stop me… but after a certain story twist, my squads got completely overwhelmed. I fought for several days trying to hold my ground, desperately trying to keep my mercs alive, but the enemy forces just kept coming—and eventually I hit a wall. And that’s where my playthrough pretty much ended. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to recover from the mistakes I made in earlier parts of the game… but it doesn’t change the fact that this is an outstanding tactical turn-based strategy game.

Jagged Alliance 3 This was something! When reviews say, "they don't make games like this anymore," know that they're telling the truth. This is now, without a doubt, one of my favorite turn-based tactical RPGs. The game has an awesome 2000s American action movie style, humor, non-linearity, and lots of other great features. I know the series is old, but I only got to try it now, and I think I'll remain a fan for many years to come. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3272188874 It's hard to even remember how many absurd and funny situations the game generated throughout our playthrough with a friend. Despite the occasional desynchronization during co-op, I feel like this game has no real downsides. The graphics and locations are excellently done, varied, and each has its own features that directly impact the combat. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3272188735 Also, if it weren’t for my friend, the save-scumming stickler, I think President La Fontaine is canonically supposed to die - it’s almost impossible to save him at the end without save-scumming. Besides, the last level is just swarming with enemies, and it was agonizingly tough to get through, but hey, that’s what a final level is supposed to be like, as my buddy said. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3331849184 If you haven’t tried the game yet, grab a friend and go play Jagged Alliance 3! I think it’s on par with Divinity and definitely worth your time to complete!

I think that is a proud successor of Jagged Alliance 2. The only problem is that the development is abandoned since version 1.5.1 (february 2024) and some secondary areas of the game are clearly unpolished (specially the inventory can be a headache) but the game itself is stable, the main areas of gameplay are really strong, the visuals and sounds are very artistic and you can see a lot of care on them and very few bugs and glitches can be seen, and in almost every case, are cosmetic. If you want to have a playgame that remember the JA2 with today graphics you need to make intensive use of mods (the community is small, but there are some masterpieces in the workshop as well in nexusmods. Will be great if Haemimont Games take some ideas from the mod scene and implement it in the game (some mod improvements in the early versions were added as game features). Anyway, unpolished videogames are usual since yearswhere the studios changed to be leaded by white collars and not by the vocational developers. This game give me lot of hours of fun, and is a very good value for your money, even without discount.

If i could give this a mixed review i probably would. It really does feel like a direct successor to its previous version, (UNLIKE ANOTHER POPULAR 90s TITLE's 3rd iteration) so that is a nice feeling of nostaligia. When the game is going well its a lot of fun. It seems to break down for me with some difficult balancing. There alot of times where the game feels unfair and frustratingly difficult due to RNG. Thats a reality about RNG that we all have to deal with as gamers, but i think a conversation needs to be had on whether generally its an actually fun experience. I find myself save scumming more than id really like, and it really just puts a damper on things for me. Sometimes enemies can just take an absurd amount of punishment (a literal point blank rocket launcher to the face for example) and the dude just barely winces. Thats...wierd. Another point worth mentioning, is that unlike its direct cousin, xcom, your troopers are not infinite and randomly generated / personally customized troopers. They are a specific cast of very likable (or not!) characters and having one die is much much bigger deal, both emotionally and strategically in game. And it really is very very easy for a trooper, in full cover, to take 10 shots to the face and die instantly on the opponents turn. That just is not fun. I dont care how real or RNG it is, im gonna save scum every single time that happens because of the nature of the roster of characters. Its more an RPG than a roster of random troops and I dont think the developers gave enough care to that thought when balancing this games difficulty. Just my two cents, but at the end of it all, again, when things are going well, the game is alot of fun.
