The cheating AI is the most annoying thing in this game. Even when operating JA2 was one of my favorite tactical games. JA2 was one of my favorite tactical games. The only cure for the game is the modding scene but the devs clearly state they won't help at any means. For me the game is only a quick cash grab, after many hours ( got 20 hours already) Iam really fed up with this. To be honest the list goes on and on, check this out on developers forum or steam platform. NO FOW - you can see every enemy on the map from the beginning, no comment on this one. Game is released with no thought about later gameplay ( imagine u have to micromanage every item by running your character to pick it up, run around again to deliver it somewhere - yup no convenient sector inventory, after capturing 4 or 5 locations ( about 20 of them in a game) and having 4 or more ( becouse the militia is hopeless and even with best kevlars/rifles they get wiped out by a smaller force of axe armed AI to capture and hold more locations you will need at least 8 ) mercs it becomes a serious issue, last time it took time 30 mins JUST to manage items in captured territory - barracks ), hell u cant even manage inventory of your mercs during they journey on world map - thats totally ignorant and bad. The game mechanics are dumbed down so hard that every single fight looks the same. Game lacks of many, reaaally many features that made the game enjoyable ( check for this list on developers forum ). Game lacks of many, reaaally many features that As a successor to JA2 I find this game to be a total fail not worth the name of the franchise. … ExpandĪs a successor to JA2 I find this game to be a total fail not worth the name of the franchise. However, I have been able to easily overlook the bugs, inconsistencies and quirks of the game because it is far better than any of the recent X-Com knock-offs, and it is fun. The game is not without bugs, it is coming from a small production team and lacks some polish. They are angry with developers who can't or won't fund their (admittedly unprofitable) type of game, and some of them have taken to trashing this game ever since the announcement that it wouldn't be turn-based, and that their precious mercenary characters would have new portraits. The fans of 2-decade-old turn based games feel that their X-Com's and JA2's are becoming extinct. If that fact automatically makes the game awful, that's fine, but I didn't buy it looking for its predecessor. If you're looking for Jagged Alliance 2 this isn't it. In what other tactical sim can you actually plan a detailed breach and clear and watch the AI carry it out? The tenets of squad-based warfare actually work in this game. It's like Rainbow 6 (the original), with a birds-eye view of your troops and the ability to make on-the-fly corrections to your plan. Young-pup BF3 lovers get the pacing, action, and exploding ragdolls that they love. This system allows the best of both worlds: Old-school turn based aficionados (like myself) don't need to fear an RTS click-fest that our arthritic fingers can't keep up with. If something changes, simply press the space-bar, go back into the P&Go mode and adjust your tactic to the new situation. Once the mode is exited the game un-pauses and your mercenaries carry out their orders as you watch the carnage. These waypoints can then be linked (synced) resulting in coordinated maneuvers and take-downs. These orders range from movement commands- stances, facings- to combat commands- targeting specific enemies and specific body parts, throwing grenades. This allows you to pause the game at any time and issue detailed orders to your squad. The main strength of this game is the Plan & Go feature. You lead your heavily-armed squad as it carves its way through heavy resistance across the detailed 3D locations of Arulco. It allows for strategy, planning, and management without sacrificing action and pacing.
