    This Jagged Alliance is bad, but not to the point that it incites rage. Play, uninstall and forget. It’s not rage, more like… apathy.

    Everything went wrong with Jagged Alliance: Rage!

    While fans of turn-based strategy might find some features to be enjoyable, long-time players of the Jagged Alliance series and strategy connoisseurs might feel shortchanged of the beloved gameplay of this genre.

    Even if you’ve exhausted all other options and are desperate for another turn-based strategy game on PS4, don’t give the sluggish, buggy and downright ugly Jagged Alliance: Rage a second thought. XCOM 2 this most certainly isn’t.

    I'm really struggling to find anything good to say about Jagged Alliance: Rage, other than that its name is appropriate. I suppose the stealth mechanic sort of works, although even there occasionally your sneaky work can be ruined by a patrolling soldier somehow glitching and eternally clambering on and off a rock instead of completing his route. Each playable character has a background trait that is supposed to play out as a weakness but that you rarely notice in play. The characters you choose to play seem irritated by one another, and by everything going on around them all the time. I've got to say, I think it's pretty understandable.

  1. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a developer try to recapture the magic of Jagged Alliance and I hope it’s not the last, but I found Rage pretty hard work to enjoy. Much like the mercs themselves, for every positive trait it may offer, there tends to be some frustrating problem to deal with too.

    A horrible game that has nothing to do with the original title.
    The usual exploitation of IP at low cost, for a game that does not even worth

    I played and finished the game. 18 hrs to complete with a mixture of stealth and let it rain bullets tactics. I didn't think the art designI played and finished the game. 18 hrs to complete with a mixture of stealth and let it rain bullets tactics. I didn't think the art design was the end of the world and generally speaking it was fun to play. I can't give it more than a 6 though.
    -Nothing new to the genre, we have seen it all before
    -Re-introducing quality of life pains that have been solved before. (i.e. A looting screen would be nice at the end of a mission, and switch off turn based moves outside of combat ffs).
    -6/10 fun factor if you enjoy this style of game.
    -A little buggy with game freezing up on NPC move turns

    FYI - you can pick two char from the list when you start and about half way through a third. There is no option to create a new char. Max squad size is 3 with no option to swap out the char once picked. Your choices are final.
