The game
engine appears quite similar to the Microprose X-COM series, with play taking place in
turns, each turn broken up into movement points. Choose your team from more than 150
unique characters, each with individual traits, or better still, design your own custom
character by selecting their abilities and personality. This, combined with a library of
mercs on the Internet, allows you to create the perfect team balance.Select and equip the most apt team for the mission and then send them out to emancipate the countryside.
Presented from an isometric view, the environments are
amazingly detailed, providing much-needed cover for your mercs. Your mercs have all the
usual options of walk, sprint, crouch, climb and lie as they are pitted against the forces
of evil. Realistic line-of-sight and encumbrance
features
are also included. Through successful completion of missions, your characters gain
experience and money for all important boost-ups.
There is a large variety of missions to keep even the most seasoned gamer entertained, ranging from dodging air strikes, and covert reconnaissance through to underground mine environments.
Jagged Alliance 2 will impress role players, tacticians and strategists alike with its vast background and rich blend of characters.
