    Jagged Alliance: Rage! Is the closest thing we have to the greatness of Jagged Alliance 2. It's a very trimmed game, delivering the experience rather than a carbon copy of the series. You still have to care for your mercs' health and gear, as well as carrying capacity, but at a much less grognardy level. I dunno if 1.13 mod fanatics will be pleased, but for the others, it's a good introduction to what Jagged Alliance used to represent.

    Jagged Alliance: Rage! is the type of game that will surely bring back memories of the golden age of gaming, and for those of you that haven't lived through those days, this game will probably bring back memories you never had. Although it could use some tweaking here and there and the graphics are a dead giveaway for the limited budget the company had, the game is fun nonetheless, and you'll be spending a good couple of hours finishing all the missions with your first pair of mercenaries, and maybe a few extra hours with another pair.

    Jagged Alliance: Rage is yet another release that uses the Jagged Alliance name but fails to deliver. The turn-based gameplay and the survival elements are good enough, but in other areas there are tons of shortcomings that not only disappoints the old fans of the series but also fails to ward off competition from other turn-based titles available on the market.

    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.

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.    … Full Review »
