Sandy beaches are followed by jungles, wetlands, bunkers, shacks and city streets, different environments and different materials mean differences in gameplay. The weather changes too, you aim differently during the day than at night, and so on. But the dialogue feels so heavy-handed in its exposition and so superficial in the game's non-linear construction that one hardly wants to engage with it any longer than necessary. [Issue#329]

Like some of these mercs, Jagged Alliance 3 can be a bit rough around the edges, but when the chips are down there’s no question it delivers. This is an easy recommendation for players who enjoy the genre, especially since it’s been 24 years since the last mainline entry in the series. With addictive gameplay, a great cast of characters, and tongue-in-cheek dialogue, liberating this island is a mission worth accepting.

Jagged Alliance 3 is a wise pick in the tactical game genre, despite some balancing issues. The game delivers fun from start to finish, serving as a genuine tribute to the action cinema of the '80s and '90s. You almost expect to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger pop up at the start of each mission. It's entertaining, aesthetically polished, and above all, it's exhilarating.

Almost perfect. You like tactic games, give it a chance. It's a shame that it disappeared from the scene so quickly.
Its a good tactic and good JA game.

It's hard to stop playing this game. Finally the day has come, when I can say that about Jagged Alliance 3.

Jagged Alliance 3 represents the return of turn-based strategy combat in a big way, and is so addictive and well done that it could revive a genre lately dedicated only to a few enthusiasts. The reckless choice not to show the probability of scoring the attacks proves to be decisive, as it makes every firefight unpredictable, forcing us to risk everything on several occasions. The only drawback in this excellent production is the artificial intelligence of the enemies, who sometimes spare us for no reason and seem devoted to suicide. However, it remains unmissable.

Jagged Alliance 3 is the best tactical game in years – smart, intense, and endlessly fun.

Jagged Alliance 3 is an excellent game, better than all the more recent installments. Let's say that since 1999, the year of Jagged Alliance 2, we haven't had this much fun with a game from the series. We're talking about an engaging title with a campaign that can last for dozens of hours and certain aspects of the experience that are truly deep. If it weren't for the entry difficulties and some absurdities on the battlefield, it would have been a masterpiece. As it is, though, it's still a great game that can provide a lot of satisfaction.

Although the popular brand stagnated for a long time and several attempts to restore it to its former glory turned out badly, Haemimont Games broke the curse and served us an excellent full-fledged new game. With everything we loved about the first games in the series, plus some practical improvements.

One of the tactics greats finally found its way to people who understand what the series was all about. Despite the weak onboarding and the cliché laden narrative, an engaging, exciting strategy game that challenges on many levels. Good news, seems you can finally uninstall Jagged Alliance 2!

Personally, I just think this is a piece of a very well-made game. This is not your perfect title, but it certainly is an extremely successful continuation of the legend from 1999. If you are fans of Jagged Alliance 2 and were quietly counting on a modernized version of the game, part three will definitely meet your expectations.

This top-tier strategy game loses points for the slurs and racial stereotyping in the writing. The best urban combat in a tactical game in years, but the world feels paper-thin even as the fights impress.

It’s not just a game; it’s a triumphant return to a genre that has been clinging to life like a merc with a single hit point and no medkit. If you’ve ever spent your nights poring over isometric battlefields, calculating movement points like they were SAT math questions, and arguing with yourself over whether to prioritize phat loot over the mission objective, then buckle up, soldier. It's time to ride. Jagged Alliance 3 is a masterful creation filled with high-level tactical strategy, a solid story with various twists, turns, and unexpected moments, and its all packaged so nicely to deliver the maximum amount of fun possible out of every play session.

Frustrating and unrewarding game with terrible interface, unclear objectives, cumbersome mechanics, annoying characters and completely unbalanced combat. You are forced to take and retake the same sectors until you just give up and uninstall.
Summary The country of Grand Chien is thrown into chaos when the elected president goes missing and the paramilitary force known as “the Legion” seizes control. Hire mercs, meet interesting characters, and fight in tactically deep turn-based combat in this true successor to a beloved franchise.
