Jagged Alliance: Rage! Released

Jagged Alliance: Rage! Cliffhanger Productions and HandyGames’ new entry in the famous turn-based series is now live on Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game, set 20 years after the events of the original Jagged Alliance, will cost you $19.99 or your regional equivalent and task you with liberating a tropical island from a dangerous drug overlord. Here’s the official release trailer:

And the game’s description:

Jagged Alliance is back – With a new take on turn-based tactics, adventure elements and the well-known quirky mercenaries!

Set 20 years after the first Jagged Alliance, this spin-off lets you experience a road trip into a jungle hell to test your mind and body to the limits!

This time it’s just you and a few allies versus an entire island ruled by a drug overlord and his crazed army.

Constantly on the brink of breakdown, faced with dehydration and no support from home, you lead a team of seasoned mercenaries against vastly outnumbering armed forces.

Use tactical brilliance and guerilla tactics to destroy their structures and strengthen the island’s population to take back what is rightfully theirs.

Do you have what it takes to rise to old glory?

Features:

• 2 Player online co-op mode
• Deep turn-based tactical gameplay mixed with adventure elements
• Choose a variety of tactics ranging from stealth to brute force
• Strong character personalities with own skills, desires and personal conflicts
• Rage skills: Unique character abilities that get more powerful over the course of the battle
• Powerful Commanders coordinate enemy troops on the battlefields
• Face terrifying experimental drugs and use them to manipulate your enemies

If the above sounds good to you, be advised that according to the currently available, mostly negative, Steam reviews, Rage! seems to be another missed opportunity to revive the legendary series.
