Q: What is the game like? You manage a group of mercenaries, each with their own attributes, traits, perks, and inventory. The playground consists of global and tactical map, like in many other games. On global map there isn't much to do except moving from one region to another. Tactical map is where the actual game unfolds - turn-based combat, quests, loot, cutscenes, dialogues, etc Q: Is it challenging? It might be at times but once you grasp the basic idea of what to do it's a walk in the park, unless you set challenges for yourself, like not using stealth or sniper rifles Q: What's the overall quality of the game (graphics, UI, sound design, attention to detatils, game balance, bugs, etc)? There a few minor annoyances, particularly in controls. The current game balance is easily exploitable, making supposedly toughest fights easy to cheese through. Overall quality is more than good, however. Some aspects are exceptionally well done - the voice acting, the humor, the character design, the attention to details Q: What's the best thing about the game? It is old-fashioned in a good way and captures the 90's and early 2000's vibe just perfectly, it's fun to get there for a few hours again Q: What could stop me from buying the game? Only it's current not-so-polished state. Or you don't like the genre. Or you don't have time to play. Or you PC doesn't meet the system requirements. Aside from that, there's every reason to give it a shot Q: So, what would be the final recommendation? The game has 9.5/10 potential assuming it'll get properly polished in upcoming updates. As for now it's 8/10 yet still recommended. It's likely you'll enjoy every second of it
First review i'm writing here. My mom bought jagged alliance 2 for me when I was 12. She orded it directly from sirtech via phone if I remember correctly. Good times. I guess the only game I put more hours into than JA2 was WoW. I dont know when I last finished a game, but I just finished JA3. If you are a JA2 veteran, this is the game you've been waiting for almost 25 years. Anyways, long story short, just fu**ing buy this game, enjoy it, and by that support these awesome developers who did what most studios don't do anymore: Listen to the fans and put all their heart into a game, to make it awesome! And damnit, awesome it is, thanks to the many, many details the devs put in! 10/10!
I am an old fan of JA1 and especially JA2, and FYI cautiously hopeful based on what I saw in the few screenshots and videos I viewed before release. I am a fan of many modern (and old) turn based tactical shooter games like the new XCOM: EU and XCOM2, and Xenonauts Having played 2.2 hours and having finished the first sector I think I can provide a decent opinion for which you to judge if you wish to take the plunge. In brief, I am quite happy with this game. The tactical engine is quite true to its JA2 roots (AP, stances, adding more AP for more accuracy, body part targeting, simulated bullets (no precentages to be found!) and more) while adding some modern conveniences like overwatch and a consistent easy to decipher cover system (which was a major gripe for JA2). In addtion, I feel that the mercenaries themselve have been faithfully personified (based on me having old lumenaries Grizzly, Steroid, and Hitman in my starting squad). Their interactions seem quite faithful to their JA2 forebears with voices that competently call back to the originals (though I admit, no one can beat the original voice actors, but such is life). There has been a sizable amount of skeptism leading up to this games release, but for (and one of) the old guard I attest that this game is a worthy successor to JA2. I highly recommend this game.
