Dropped frames happen often, affecting the controls and the UI in general can be a little laggy. The game can be quite colourful from a distance, but the graphics betray the game’s low budget roots. In fact the presentation is lacking in all aspects, with weak animations and low quality character models. Seeing your two chosen characters interact with each other is fun with their personalities shining through, though the acting is suspect across the board. There are six characters to choose from initially, each with their own abilities and personalities. She is quickly demoralised by seeing innocents die however and is physically weak, making her unable to use heavier weapons. Raven on the other hand is excellent with sniper rifles and in the dark and can disarm enemies. Unfortunately he’s also got a weak immune system giving him a higher chance of catching infections. Shadow seemed more suited to stealth gameplay, with the ability to use throwing knives to stealth kill from afar and his stealth take downs being silent. You pick two to start the game and choosing a pair who will compliment each other is very important. Each character has their own specialities but also weaknesses. Interestingly they have all aged and are all the worse for it. Set twenty years after the first game, those who played the early titles will recognise some of the mercenaries you can take control of. Just before being experimented on they are freed when one of the doctors has a change of heart and they must escape the island, helping the locals defeat this mad dictator along the way. In an attempt to rescue a fellow mercenary from a helicopter crash on an island a couple of mercs from AIM land on the island but are quickly apprehended. By the developer’s own admission it is a small spin off and has a lower than full price tag but does it have enough tactical chops to bring the franchise back to its glory days?
Now it’s the turn of Jagged Alliance: Rage! to try and bring the series back and maybe pave the way for a true Jagged Alliance 3. The first two games are seen as tactical classics but since then there have been multiple attempts to revive the franchise that have fallen flat.
