It took me almost 10 years to remember the name of this game whose demo I tried way back.
I recently got into this in my spare time, the characters, plot, the detailing, the gameplay - i’d say everything is just amazing.
Basically, you’re a guy who is hired by someone to overthrow dictatorship in his country and you do so by hiring the most racist, badass and eccentric Mercs on the planet
It’s really great, detailing is impressive to the point that if a MERC is a racist and hates Russians then he will relieve himself from your employment if he is in the same squad as a Russian Merc for too long (only solution is to keep them in separate squads)
-Gameplay is satisfying as you are very nicely rewarded
-Freedom is so much that I with a small bunch of Mercs managed to take out a military facility in very early game(at a hefty cost so i just reloaded my old safe). You’re free to do whatever you want just win them the city and try not to be too much of a dick to the locals you need them
-There is a concept of traps (mines, booby traps on random objects and doors)
I recommend this game to anyone who wants to try a quality SRPG
Also there is a highly recommended mod called v1.13 (which i’ll try after Vanilla) and an expansion pack called Unfinished Business.
There also exist Jagged Alliance Wildfire which is kinda buggy and Back in Action which is a shit on the fanbase by some random shitheads which took the depth out of the entire game. So better avoid Wildfire and Back in Action
