GAME SUMMARY

Hired Guns The Jagged Edge

Rating: 2.4 (15 votes cast)

To many famously as a Jagged Alliance 3D, is the unofficial successor of the cult series Jagged Alliance.

You are at the diamond coast, a region, submerged in chaos and wars, governed by an unprincipled dictator. There rules state of emergency and you must decide for whom you put the life of your mercenaries into game.

Your task is to stop a ruthless dictator on the west coast of Africa. In order to achieve this goal, you command an elite unit of 30 well-trained mercenaries and have access to over 150 different weapons. To dispossess the dictator is a tactical challenge: Five hostile fractions are raging in the African country, so you have to interact carefully between the warring parties.

It is essential to plan your operation well, therefore you will be provided with various background information from different in-game sources. You should carefully consider the order of the missions as well as the formation of your team of different combat specialists – the mercenaries all have specific powers. And finally, you should be thorough in choosing between the large number of weapons – from handguns and assault weapons to sniper rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers.

Once you have picked your team, you choose the next operation site on a clearly laid out map. In turn-based battles, each of your mercenaries has over 25 action points at the start of each round, that they will use for shooting, running, changing weapons or further actions. How many actions a mercenary can perform depends on their specific attributes and on the type of weapon they use. In addition, you should consider which body zones a mercenary aims at as each hit causes a different degree of damage, and the hit probability varies.

  • Real time and round-based strategy (round based in fight applications)
  • More than 30 striking mercenaries with specific strengths and individual characters
  • Complex role play system
  • 23 different scenes in front of detailed formed background
  • High level-interactivity by destroyable buildings and objects
  • 5 main parties: UN troops, rebels, soldiers loyal to government, the Butsi tribe and the mysterious client
  • More than 150 weapons and other equipment objects (pistols, sniper, machine guns and more)
  • Rousing campaigns with the most different mission sighting

Hired Guns The Jagged Edge review

I appreciate when indie developers make "homage" games or stylized games based on working formulas. It is something else entirely when you blatantly rip-off what I consider one of the finest games in turn based strategy 15 years after its release and somehow manage to come out with a worse performing game, that looks worse and sounds worse than the aging original. Also, please Russian game companies trying for some English language sales--When localizing a game, please at least make an attempt to translate voice and text. Please...Pretty please? Load up your old copy of Jagged Alliance 2 or Wildfire, you will have lots more fun replaying those games than trying to play this one.

Hired Guns The Jagged Edge is another Top Down real time strategy game with major flaws and bugs that keep you from enjoying the game or even getting past a few levels. The graphics are decent and the sounds is okay but this does not save this game from disaster. Buy Jagged Alliance 2 and not this game. 1/5 stars.

I really enjoyed this game. I think that if you enjoy Jagged Alliance you will like this. It does have its share of bugs, but all and all I got many hours of fun tactical game play from this game.
