If you like strategy, this here would be a great chance to hone your skills. I must admit, compared to JA2 Gold, I would recommend this version even if considerably more difficult and stand-alone. You have so many chances to upgrade your mercenary skills which I find to be extremely important and very satisfying. More challenging than JA2 Gold for sure, I do want to respond to the people who don't like this game. First off, you actually want enemies to scale walls? It's already difficult enough, that doesn't need to be the case. Besides, you are going to be outnumbered in virtually any given sector anyway so the enemies are going to shoot at any merc in their line of sight regardless of where they are (on the roof or not). Second, I find "Brain" to be the best choice of any merc on the entire roster - the best bang for your buck for sure. I am slowly upgrading mercenary skills so that he would have an 80+ skill level on every single merc stat. I don't however waste my time needlessly which means I don't ever fight every single sector on the map. And to those who might have a word to say about difficulty, as I say, this game is difficult enough on normal. Since when would having a long-range weapon without a sniper scope guarantee a head shot? That just doesn't make sense. I plan to persist in my quest to have a "perfect" merc that has every single stat at 80+. Essentially, the person will do every single task asked of him or her but really electronics is probably the least important in the game. So, someone like Brain will do just fine!
