Jagged Alliance 3 Reviews
Jagged Alliance 3 is a near-perfect and playable recreation of an issue of Soldier of Fortune Magazine that has great gameplay to boot.
I had my doubts about if Jagged Alliance 3 could really tap the joy I felt in commanding mercenaries back in Jagged Alliance 2. This is a series that predates most tactical strategy we know, but it’s had some bumps along the road. Jagged Alliance 3 can’t be counted among those bumps. It’s a proficient and beautiful return to form for this franchise with a wealth of options inside and outside combat. It’s also a tough game to overcome, but with all of the options at your disposal, finding your path through the breathtaking landscapes of Grand Chien should be an exciting and varied blast every time. I’ll have a hard time putting anything else in the strategy category above this when the year ends.
Jagged Alliance 3 is a flexible, challenging, approachable throwback turn-based tactics game in which the only thing that feels truly dated is the humor.
A must-play turn-based tactics combat simulator elevated by memorable characters, over-the-top action and deep RPG elements.
A legendary, ancient series is back and better than ever with more firepower and personality than Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Daniel Craig rolled into one.
UI niggles and a wincingly unfunny tone can't sink a strong hybrid of old and new design ideas.
Despite rough edges and a steep learning curve, the tactical series returns in force with Jagged Alliance 3.
Jagged Alliance 3 still feels like a PC game on console, but works admirably under its strict control limitations.
