I tried to like this. I really did.

As usual with Kalypso titles.

It's bearable without AI, that builds totally crazy all over the place.

Quoting: PatolaVery interesting facts, didn't know that. I am very interested in this franchise, can you expand a little why Jagged Alliance: Back in Action [External Link], Jagged Alliance: Crossfire [External Link] and Jagged Alliance - Flashback [External Link] don't cut it? If you were talking about Jagged Alliance Online: Reloaded [External Link] I would understand better, since the servers have been just turned off and the game is thus unplayable today (like what happened with Shadowrun Chronicles [External Link] ), but these games from the gameplays on youtube do not seem so bad, and the bad ratings mostly seem to be from people who disagree with some mechanics decisions.

Hard to put a finger on. Yes, game mechanic is a huge point. This is what happens when you change a turn based game wildly (also in art and style). And none of the follow ups brought back the flair and depth of the characters as players like me knew and loved their mercenaries. Unfinished Business was the last part I enjoyed.

It's what also killed M.A.X. back then.

This kind of games attracts a certain kind of players. This was understood for e.g. the XCOM series and while the game was streamlined it's still close to it's origins.

Things I enjoyed most:
* Audio (sound and voice was just awesome)
* tactical turn based with dices (like cover _may_ work)
* stealth/alarm mechanics
* unique characters and traits (they even sometimes didn't like each other xD)
* explore, upgrade and tinkering
* solid story

That's an awesome project bringing back one of the best games ever (IMHO) to life on Linux PC.

Did you know that JA2 featured a native Linux version back then already? It was ported by Tribsoft (afair the only title ever). Last time I checked it could still be played with some workarounds but Stracciatella is obviously the better choice today.

Shame what happened to this franchise. None of the following games cut it :sad:

Quoting: TheSHEEEPDid you actually play the game?
In something larger than the smallest ship?

Is that a Who-Has-The-Longest-Carrier? Cuz I'm Split all the way down, baby :D

Fun aside. Your itch has been scratched and I stand my point: Your positioning sucks. You play that long already? Well, mayhap you're doing it wrong for a long time then. Did you ever read any Sci-Fi featuring space battles? I'm delighted the way this is implemented. You pay for errors - ESPECIALLY with huge ships.

Nice, it is indeed available now. Odd that this happens always minutes after complaining :huh:

I assume they still haven't fixed the bug/idiotic design that shots which hit your allies turn them hostile towards you so that whenever you try to aid an ally you actually end up at war with them.

Oh my…

* That's only temporary - just leave for a while
* Watch Your Fire!
* Does iirc not apply for OOS fights (no friendly fire computation)
