Jagged Alliance 1: Gold Edition

Все еще можно получить удовольствие от этой игры, но перед началом прохождения желательно почитать гайды и советы для новичков, потому что в игре хватает подводных камней, которые могут испортить впечатления

I bought this game when it came out but doubt that I will replay it.

An awesome classic game. Been playing it for years. It can be frustrating but then if it wasn't, it would be easy, and I wouldn't keep playing it.

First playthrough review time. I got this game for free, and Jagged Alliance Gold is an old classic. It’s perfect for anyone interested in Turn-Based Strategy titles. The design and features in Jagged Alliance Gold are well thought out. The game includes elements like unit exhaustion, explosives, and mercenaries with unique personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. These mercenaries also speak up with their opinions, which adds an extra layer of depth to the gameplay. In conclusion, Jagged Alliance Gold offers a good gameplay and a bit challenging experience with nice attention to detail.

Old but gold - and runs on DOSBOX.

This game contains the original campaign of Jagged Alliance 1 and the mission based sequel Deadly Games. I have played the campaign extensively both in my childhood and youth and later here in Steam but in Deadly Games I have very little playing experience. Therefore, my review deals with only the classic campaign of Jagged Alliance 1. In comparison to Jagged Alliance 1, I will also frequently mention Jagged Alliance 2 which is not included in this game. Jagged Alliance 1 is not a game for everybody. The game can be punishingly hard if the player does not understand the particular quirks of the game. Line of sight issues and how to approach locked doors with enemies inside are some examples of the quirks you can only learn by playing the game yourself or by watching playthroughs. Inventory management is a crucial aspect of this game and for some people there is too much micromanagement involved. However, Jagged Alliance 1 has lightweight micromanagement compared to Jagged Alliance 2. For experienced players of this series, the lower complexity of Jagged Alliance 1 makes it more appealing, even though the game is inferior in many other aspects to Jagged Alliance 2. The game is a mix of turn based tactical combat with added strategy components. The gameplay happens on an island which is divided to 60 maps where tactical battles happen. The goal is to overthrow the antagonist called Lucas Santino who has taken control of 59 of the maps. Not all maps need to be conquered to beat the game, but in practice one has to conquer most if not all maps before attacking the compound of Lucas Santino. There is no set order of progression through the overall world map. The only constraints are how the maps are located in the larger island map. You will also get various quests by your employer which influences your map conquest choices. Your task is to hire up to eight mercenaries to overthrow Lucas Santino. The available mercenaries each have a unique and quirky personality. The mercenaries have varying levels of ability in performing different tasks and also varying salary demands. The Jagged Alliance games (1 and 2) have a notorious harder-easier-harder progression in the gameplay loop. In the beginning, the game is hard when you are low on resources (money and equipment) and your weapons are weak. Making fast progress is imperative. Otherwise you risk running out of money. Once you progress, you get better weapons, armor and other equipment and the game gets easier for a little while. Towards the end, the game again becomes harder as enemies also have better equipment. The game is also punishing in terms of casualties for mercenaries. Wounded and injured mercenaries are much less effective on the field and need to be treated medically, taking them and their treating doctor out of action. Getting mercenaries killed lowers your reputation among the pool of available mercenaries. The pool of available mercenaries is also limited both in numbers and in quality. This is not a game where you can carelessly use your mercenaries because getting them killed has consequences. Jagged Alliance 1 is not an easy game to get into, but once you do it has immense replay value. For a game published in 1995, the amount of detail put into this game is astonishing. For example, there is a listening device, which you can use to check rooms for possible enemies. The game has actual voice lines and sound effects for these situations. Even though I was a veteran of playing this game, I only found out about this years later. Jagged Alliance 1 is an absolute cult classic.
