Those delightful mercs are back, and it’s time to kick some ass!
Jagged Alliance: Rage! is coming and I can’t be more excited.
It’s 20 years after the first Jagged Alliance and our returning cast is older and seriously messed up. Alcoholics, cancer survivor, depression….
But they’re still professional killers ready to conquer another jungle island.
THQ Nordic’s HandyGames hasn’t issued a date yet and have only three mercs on the game’s site: Ivan, Raven and Shadow.
There’s also a picture of Dr. Q so he’s back. Hoping Barry and Danny are back as well.
Jagged Alliance 2 is one of the greatest games of all time. I still play it once in a while. It’s not only about military tactics. You gotta be a HR manager, hiring the right people who work together well and can fill a need.
Put two people together who like each other and they perform better. Two who hate each other — hasta la vista to one of them.
And the game had one of the best ensemble of voice actors ever.
Amazing game. Can’t wait for JA: Rage, coming to Steam, PS4 and Xbox One.
Here’s more game detail from the Jagged Alliance site:
THE GAME
Jagged Alliance is back – With a new take on turn-based tactics, adventure elements and the well-known quirky mercenaries!
Set 20 years after the first Jagged Alliance, this spin-off lets you experience a road trip into a jungle hell to test your mind and body to the limits!
This time it’s just you and a few allies versus an entire island ruled by a drug overlord and his crazed army.
Constantly on the brink of breakdown, faced with dehydration and no support from home, you lead a team of seasoned mercenaries against vastly outnumbering armed forces.
Use tactical brilliance and guerilla tactics to destroy their structures and strengthen the island’s population to take back what is rightfully theirs.
Do you have what it takes to rise to old glory?
