This was my first Jagged Alliance game
I'm now hooked on Jagged Alliance. This is one of those games that has the veterans up in arms both singing its praises and condemning it depending on historical context I simply don't have, and I'll leave that to them. What I got was a complex, interesting, challenging, and most importantly funny- tactical squad based strategy game. I loved it. It shows a lack of polish in a few places, but the bad is instantly washed away by all the good the game provides. I also applaud that the game's chief challenge on the 'standard' difficulty setting is the economical aspect of running a mercenary organisation. Taking fights I didn't want to simply to survive another month of paying mercenary rent was a fantastic. It reminds me of Battle Brothers in all the best ways. Complains are that while the length drags on it feels like it's a really long road to not get anywhere particularly exciting. There's a twist at the midway point which is very interesting and helped breathe some life into the story but your mission parameters from the intro are pretty much the totality of your mission in the fictional Grand Chien. It's fine, but I would have liked a little more substance to it. You end up playing Othello with the hostile forces almost from the get-go, trying to flip important landmarks to your favour and immediately losing them when you take a step outside. There's also a little bit of a problem in acquiring armaments and ammunition, there's no automated system for doing this so you can exploit a few local resources in a tedious time-consuming manner, or you can make due with what you have. And I'd really like some kind of way to purchase specific weapons and tools, especially ammo is inexplicably scarce when the enemy has full auto on at all times. I was unsurprised to learn that this kind of store-system was in earlier versions of the game so I can only hope it is either added in a future expansion pack, or as a mod. On the whole I had a great time in my 50 hours.
