    This game needs a true remake with the 1.13 mod included into it by default

    Absolutely amazing game IMO. So much heart to all those mercs you can hire with their action movie trope filled back stories and banter. Lots of fun exploring the map and managing your team. I rate it up there with the greatest classic isometric PC games like Fallout & Baldurs Gate.

  3. Years later, I got it on clearance at EB Games for like $1.99. Got decades of play out of it, what a steal. The writing and comedy in it was top-notch.

    I remember sinking days into this game.
    But I quickly realized that turn-based games is just not my thing.

    But man, I replayed it a few years ago, and – it was deeper than I thought.
    And Deidrana is a tough bitch.

    Trip down memory lane. What an awesome game!

    I loved the original xcom completed it half a dozen times I always felt I’d love the jagged alliance games but I never got sucked into them the same way.

    Not sure why honestly.

  7. fuck yea, sir-tech thanks for the countless hours i spent on this

    modders, thanks for countless hours i spent on 1.13

  8. In my Top 5 favorite games of all time. I thought Shadow was the coolest guy ever.

    I got that game in a bulk game bin and deleted it after the first time I tried it lol

    I still have this on my computer. Best game ever and so in depth for it’s time.

  11. I remember seeing pictures of that cover back in ’99 and I’ve never played the series.

  12. To this day still my most played single player game. Since ‘99 I’ve finished the campaign at least once a year on average.
    I still own this box of the German version.
    With 1.13 you can still play this today and it’s still perfect.

    Heh, that’s my buddy’s mother-in-law on the cover. Always get a chuckle from this.

    For anyone who’s never played this: this is probably THE best turn-based tactics game that’s ever been made. Back in the 90’s, Jagged Alliance and (original) XCom were the Big 2 turn-based tactics franchises, and honestly, the gameplay of JA2 was leagues ahead.

    There’s so much gameplay depth and tactical options available in JA2, which is especially impressive considering the time when this game was made. You can: crouch, lie prone, crawl while prone, stealth, stealth *backwards* while crouching, climb onto rooftops, spend extra action points (AP) to precise-aim, go for headshots or legshots, and more.

  15. Is JA3 good compare to this? I’ve been thinking to get JA3 for several months now.
