    Jagged Alliance: Rage! Review

    We rarely ever see franchises living up to their reputations anymore, as more and more companies "jump the shark" in an attempt to make their titles relevant to the more younger gaming community. However, there are some game series that don't seem to stay just as popular even after 20 years.
    "The same gameplay you know and love"

    Veteran gamers know the Jagged Alliance franchise, and those of you that played the first entries are probably either looking to relive your childhood memories or trying to convince your own children to follow in your gaming footsteps.

    Regardless of your motives, you'll be glad to know that the essence of the game hasn't changed at all.

    You're still a commander looking to hire mercenaries to get missions done, you still have to choose from a roster of mercenaries that are as different from one another as ever, and you still have the great TBS combat style.

    Oh, and let's not forget that the humor is unchanged, which will make you laugh or at least smile once every couple of minutes.

    Full disclosure, I love the look and feel of the game, even if I never had the chance to play the previous titles when they were first released. You know how when a new movie in a franchise is just released, and now you re-watch all previous entries just so you can get into "the mood?", well Jagged Alliance: Rage! is the video game equivalent of that.

    [...]

    Conclusion

    Jagged Alliance: Rage! is the type of game that will surely bring back memories of the golden age of gaming, and for those of you that haven't lived through those days, this game will probably bring back memories you never had.
    Although it could use some tweaking here and there and the graphics are a dead giveaway for the limited budget the company had, the game is fun nonetheless, and you'll be spending a good couple of hours finishing all the missions with your first pair of mercenaries, and maybe a few extra hours with another pair.

    Hopefully, the developer will listen to their public and patch things up, so that Jagged Alliance: Rage! can reach its true potential.

    Score: 4/5 - Very Good
