It is playable...
...but the UI could be much more intuitive. The sound is ok, the music is good. I am playing it in german language, after some thinkering. For that I had to manually rename the "german.csv" to "english.csv" (of course I made a copy of this) inside the folder "C:\GOG games\Jagged Alliance Rage\JAN_Data\StreamingAssets\localization". The interesting thing is, that you can switch the spoken audio inside the game's settings. Why didn't they do the same for the text? This will propably stay a mistery forever. About the graphics: they seem to have tried to archive a cartoonish look similar to maybe Team Fortress, but a bit more gritty. Not really my cup of tea. The environment is ok, the camera can be turned around since it is a 3D game. But you cannot manually zoom in or out. That will do the game for you automatically, this depends on the situation. The game is made in Unity, so be prepared, that you CPU/GPU fans will sometimes be louder... So, is this a real Jagged Alliance game? In name only. The whole gameplay feels like a kind of expanded mobile game. A bit sluggish and well, not really that much fun. Sadly. I don't say, that it is unplayable, it is not. But... ah, I don't know. It is maybe good for a casual player, like myself. For a round or two. Do I recommend it? Well, if you need to play every turn-based game out there, than maybe. But if you wan't proper JA experience, I recommend you play the older games or look elsewhere. If yo still want to play it, I recommend you to use the "Jagged Alliance Rage! Loot and Weapons Rebalance" mod, that you can find on moddb.com. It makes many corrections./fixes The mod author also included a fix for the tutorial, wherer there is a bug in the section, where you need to crouch and something you cannot finish the turn.
