Steam now offers Jagged Alliance - Back in Action, the Jagged Alliance 2 remake. Here's an overview of the game: Designed from the ground up to offer a modern gaming experience, Back in Action showcases an updated isometric 3D look and interface, highly detailed character models and a variety of new gameplay features. Back in Action takes players to the fictitious country of Arulco, where a ruthless dictator has seized power and only a small group of rebels stand to resist him. Tasked with freeing the island from the dictator’s iron grip, players will command rebel and mercenary forces while using tactical, diplomatic and economic tools to keep troops supplied and ready for the next flight, all while commanding them directly in nail-biting battles.
Back in Action’s innovative “plan & go” combat system combines real-time strategy (RTS) with turn-based elements to guarantee that the intricacies of tactical warfare are rendered in dynamic, exciting gameplay. This challenges would-be commanders to master not only strategy and tactical combat, but also to maximize their team’s capabilities through RPG-like character advancement.

This was my original impression (copypasta):
I've played the Jagged Alliance demo and tried to like it but I can't. The enemy spots me through obstacles; I keep finding myself in places where they can shoot at me and I cannot shoot back even when I stand; throwing grenades indoors is rubbish; I even tried firing a grenade through the window in an attempt to counter the insane ambush when capturing the second point... and he just stood there being shot at, not firing.
I kept trying to like it, but if the demo is anything to go by I'll be giving it a miss. I also had a problem with guards repeatedly being alerted by a corpse, to the end that there was a huge swarm of enemies all hunched around this guy I had taken out a long time ago, a group that I couldn't possibly handle. A group that rushed me in one big go when I captured the second point.
The obstacles the enemies could see me through included trees and walls.
This was the demo, so part of me hopes that it's fixed in the main game, but I'm not going to buy the main game with the hope it's fixed when the demo is saying "Nuh uh, I don't play that way." |
