Jagged Alliance 2 1999

Is it still worth playing?

Sir-Tech Canada's 1999 turn based tactical role playing game for Windows, set in the fictional country of Arulco. You hire mercenaries and recruit locals there to restore peace under the ruthless Queen Deidranna. On the strategic map you assign tasks, buy gear and hire or fire mercenaries through a laptop, and time can be sped up or paused. Exploration runs in real time on an isometric view and switches to turn based combat once an enemy is spotted. Action points renew each round, unspent points carry over, and combatants can interrupt the enemy's turn. Mercenaries have morale, and those who dislike each other may quit. A dead mercenary cannot be resurrected. Towns can be taken in any order, and reclaimed mines pay daily income. Squads built around who gets along with whom, and towns you can attack from any side, still make each choice of mercenary a commitment today.
