Solid Strategy Game with Charm
Jagged Alliance is a solid strategy game that oozes personality. While games like X-com or Command & Conquer are all about base management and upgrading generic troops, Jagged Alliance focuses on characterisation and storyline. Each Merc has its own personality, backstory, quirks and fully voiced quotes. Jagged Alliance aims to be simplier and streamlined than other turn based games and that works in its favour although those expecting complicated strategy of X-com will be disappointed. Action moves much faster as each sector is small and its easier to get into the game and enjoy capturing sectors rather than spending time worrying about cash flow, research and base management. It is a classic for its time and still quite playable even today despite limitations such as small squad size. Be warned however, the game can be unforgiving at times and you might need to consult a strategy guide for more effective ways of tackling certain sectors.
