Jagged Alliance 3

This game truly deserves the name "Jagged Alliance". Not a real time tactics game, trying to reinvent the wheel. Not a cheap knockoff of Jagged Alliance 2, but a game with its own soul and feel. It felt great to play through this, and - just like its predecessor - it's gonna be one of those games which i'll come back to, and re-install time and time again over the years. My only complaint would be the kind of lifeless, and, when looking back at Jagged Alliance 2, inacurate design of the mercs. Other than that i would recommend Jagged Alliance 3 to everyone who has even the slightest love for all things military, for turn based tactics, light strategy, and a whole lot of personality, 80s to 90s action movie style, and a refined gameplay loop, which has remained mostly untouched. One great addition is the weapons modding, as it makes multiple play styles viable. Get it now, or Shadow's gonna appear in your garden, and you'll never know it!

I was a big fan of JA2, and I'm really enjoying JA3. Tons of quality of life improvements, much smoother, but keeps the core of what made JA2 great. I'd like to see a little more focus on buying/selling gear rather than just looting, but that's a minor complaint. The combat is fantastic and engaging.

Ever since JA1 I have loved everything about JA. JA2 fed the flame...then the series felt lost. Every release excited me until getting my hands on it. Quickly realising that something special was missing. Back In Action reignited the flame but was very clunky. Everything to come after also felt distant to the JA core feel. This is everything I could of hoped for and more. A true successor to an original favourite of mine. Thanks. Truly.

I payed JA2 a lot, this game is wonderful sequel. I feel JA2 atmophere in this game:)

A great, no fantastic sequel of the Jagged Alliance series. If you come from JA2, even the community patched version that was updated for 20 years, then you will see that this game stays loyal in all areas and improves where needed. The game uses the known xcom tactics cover and attacks but with action points to determine if you can do something. It does keep possibility of shots hitting a bit vague to keep it a bit hard and requires time to get a good guess on it. But unlike xcom and other similar tactical games where you go gun-ho into fights and clear every spot. This game requires tactics with ammunition limits in mind, thus stealth or retreating and coming back later to clear the rest later on are all valid approaches, and recommended~! There are a lot of weapons, for every type a few, maybe a bit less than JA2 and especially the community addition, but you have to take into account that a lot in those two were more clutter and had few OP weapons that you just quickly rushed for. Melee is a bit lacking and requires properly gear and perk building before viable, but fun once to get off. Points that need be know: - JA3 changed inventory to strength only based, in JA2 it was based bags and strength. - There is no website for infinite ammunition or quickly get the best stuff there is, this means you have to do with scavenging and weapon and ammunition management. This might be frustrating when you just waste shots and go gun-ho. So don't. - Loot drop low, while it might bad, once a bit further and proper weapon/ammunition rotation and conservation you have a lot later on. Would be boring if they all dropped everything. - Overwatch is powerful but quickly wastes ammunition - Right click to aim, body is easiest to target like in real life - Not only rifles are good, all have their place, just experiment and each fall into their place - Shotgun are short range but really good - Pistols are great to get multiple hits in
