Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games

Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games is a turn-based strategy game in which you lead a squad of mercenaries on a series of missions. Like the original Jagged Allieance, you command troops in a top-down battlefield view, equipping them with various weapons and using them to take out enemies and achieve missions. However, this game changes the original`s formula in several ways.Special MissionsWhere the first Jagged Alliance game focused on resource and territory management, Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games follows a more linear story structure. Complete one mission, and it`s on to the next. Between missions, you can buy equipment and manage your squad. Not every mission is a stand-up fight; instead, you`ll be called on to carry out special operations like identifying targets, rescuing hostages, blowing up buildings and sneaking into enemy-held areas. Your weapons dealer will sell you upgrades for your troops` gear, including scopes, silencers and more -- but the quality may not always be reliable. What it loses in player control, however, this game makes up in mission variety. In addition to eh standard campaign, there`s a scenario editor you can use to create your own missions.A tactical challengeJagged Alliance: Deadly Games offers a little more in the way of tactical challenge than its predecessor, but at the cost of some of its strategic content. It`s a worthwhile purchase for any strategy game fan, despite its dated presentation.
