The customization of your mercenary (and team) is pretty impressive. Jagged Alliance Online has a nice 3D engine – the graphics are nice, and the game employs the familiar isometric point-of-view. Those who have tried Firaxis’ reboot of XCOM from last year, Jagged Alliance Online feels a bit like that with both in terms of the turn-based actions and tactical elements. The game looks and feels like the game I remember playing back in 1994. This may be a turn-off to some gamers who are looking for immediate action, but for those who like to plan out a course of action before running in guns blazing will enjoy this title. Like its predecessors, it’s a turn-based action-strategy game. While most popular online games tend to be fast-paced, Jagged Alliance Online eases back on the throttle. This isn’t the case with Jagged Alliance Online, and I’m glad developer/publisher Cliffhanger Productions stated this openly. One of the things I really appreciate about Jagged Alliance Online is the line from their product description on Steam: “ is fair to play, allowing you to earn anything that can be acquired in the game by playing – so it is YOUR tactics that count!” The free-to-play model became popular for games on Apple and Android mobile devices, and depending on the situation, you may sometimes end up hitting that payment wall, where you cannot possibly proceed without spending real money. The catch being that if you want to play the traditional single-player game, you’re going to need to shell out $60 (or $30 each for the 2 stand-alone single-player campaign DLC), but the multiplayer is absolutely 100% free to play. Yup! You heard me correctly: F-R-E-E! If you’re a skeptic like me, you’re probably squinting your eyes in a mistrusting way, waiting for the caveat. The most significant change is in the payment structure - Jagged Alliance Online is free. When I had the opportunity to check out the latest iteration of Jagged Alliance, simply called Jagged Alliance Online, I couldn’t help but step up and volunteer! I wanted to see how the series has changed over the last - gulp! - (nearly) two decades. It was definitely one of my favorite mid-90s games. I was fortunate enough to have played the original, back in 1994, and enjoyed it a lot. I have a special place in my heart for the Jagged Alliance series. takes a look at Jagged Alliance Online, which offers a completely free-to-play multiplayer mode.
