Kalypso Media and bitComposer games are locked and loaded with a release date set for Jagged Alliance : Back In Action. Originally named Jagged Alliance 2 : Reloaded, Back In Action is a remastered version of the turn-based 1999 classic set to explode on Windows PC’s October 21st 2011.
In Jagged Alliance, you are a mercenary commander hired by a small group of rebels to help overthrow the ruthless dictator of the fictional country of Arulco. At your disposal are over 60 unique mercenaries available for hire, each one with their own likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Just as in the original, there are many mercenaries that do not get along with each other and will refuse to work alongside of rivals.
While the original game was played out with turn-based strategy, Back In Action introduces a new “Plan & Go” system that will combine real-time strategy along with a turn-based system. When not in combat, commanders can train their teams in an RPG like fashion to mold the perfect fighting unit.
Even though the core mechanics stay the same, the game engine has received a modern gaming face lift. Moving away from a 2D top down view, Back In Action uses an isometric 3D look and interface, updated models, and a variety of new gameplay mechanics.
