Jagged Alliance 2

This is one of the few games I've stuck out because of it's high interest factor--the amount of things you can do is pretty amazing. From checking out different mercs to exploring areas to rolling your own characters--this is a game that gives you your money's worth. I added the fan-made 1.13 patch and it's pretty incredible the improvements it makes in playability and graphics BUT... unless you are hard core you may want to turn off the Drassen Counterattack in the .ini file. It was HARD, and until I learned how to turn it off (JA2_Options.ini, TRIGGER_MASSIVE_ENEMY_COUNTERATTACK_AT_DRASSEN = FALSE) I got eviscerated. That made the game at least playable for me. One other hint I might add is to be liberal with your saves at various strategic points--there's a chance you might want to revert back if things don't go your way. In short, great game, classic game, very quirky sense of humor, and a fun, tactical and strategic brawl.

Just looking at these screenshots makes me wanna cry. Those were the days... Being a teenager with no sorrows but the usual lovesickness, coming home from school, playing this wonderful game... No need to say much about it, though. If it isn't perfect today, it surely was back then. It's just so sad that I'll never be able to play it again for the very first time.

First thing I'm always checking... Yes - it works on Windows 10, at least for me. Didn't install any patches or something. No crashes, major showstoppers. Rather recommend this game for 'old' players who loves classic games. If you haven't play JA2 - try it out, check out also JA2: Unfinished Business and Wildfire. I played this game many, many times. Don't have any special tips for new players. For sure if you're playing on some hard modes - try to spare ammo, don't waste it. Try to read on google how to create I.M.P character (something like your own mercenary). Be sure to protect your mines = source of income. Use night - sometimes is your friend if you have mercs with night operations and night vision. Try not to waste LAW, tanks can be usually 1 shooted if properly aimed. Good luck .

If you played Fallout or X-com this game will be very familiar. It's an intense role playing turn based strategy game where you're supposed to conquer an entire island. The one thing that makes the game different (and IMO better) is the almost complete freedom to do whatever you want. After you conquer the first city you can hire whoever you want and go wherever you please. Some cities offer quest, some give you mines and some are incredibly tough to win over, the order in which you go through these is entirely up to you and the units that will accompany you is also your choice. Between balancing the money that comes in and the needs of your team, making sure the enemy army doesn't re-capture your cities and the very well done battles this is one heck of a game. Worth every penny.

If you like turn based strategy games, you will not be disappointed - this is probably the best I have ever played. Yes, the graphics are dated now, but this game has personality that more than makes up for it - you get to know your mercs. I put this in my top 5 games of all time!
