Jagged Alliance: Rage!

It took a bit longer than expected but we were really trying hard to solve the problems reported by the players and react to the good input you gave us! So the patch contains: Fixed some achievements not working correctly Made some tweaks to the AI on several maps Added language setting for voiceovers Fixed that corpses are discovered in grass Added penetration level to the weapon display Fixed rare incidence that a map would restart after finishing it Fixed a hole in the Water Treatment Facility map where enemies could fall into We didn't manage to reproduce and fix some of the random issues we got reported yet, but hopefully we can do that with a future patch.

Developer: Cliffhanger Productions Publisher: HandyGames Release: Out now On: Windows From: Steam , Humble For: 18, $20, 20 In Jagged Alliance: Rage , I pause before taking the final shot in each mission. If you were to examine my face during these moments, noting the hollow look in my eyes as my cursor hovers over a button labelled Do it , you might suspect some crisis of conscience. Perhaps I ve started to doubt the cause my small team of mercenaries has been fighting for? Maybe killing hundreds of nameless soldiers in exchange for cash is part of the problem? Nope. That s not it. Far from it. What holds my trigger finger is the knowledge of what comes after I ve taken the shot. Just like its predecessors from the 90s, JA: Rage is a game of two halves. It s a turn-based strategy affair in which your small team of elite, grizzled mercenaries trudges through a hot jungle.

But it s also a game about ensuring your mercs remain armed to the teeth over the course of what will be a long and trying campaign. (more…)

 Just one day ahead of its scheduled September 27 release, Jagged Alliance: Rage , the latest resurrection of the turn-based tactical RPG series, has been delayed. It's now slated to be out on December 6.  As usual, a specific reason for the delay wasn't given: A rep said only that it "needs a little more time in the oven," whatever that means. To soften the blow of the delay, HandyGames—that's THQ Nordic's indie-focused publishing label—dropped a new trailer showcasing some raging gameplay. Jagged Alliance: Rage is something of a twist on the JA formula because instead of controlling a full-sized merc outfit, you're in charge of just a handful of them, with no reinforcements to fall back on—and they're not exactly in the prime of their lives, either. The new game is set 20 years after the first, and all that time in the merc business has inflicted a physical and psychological toll.   As Fraser said when the first gameplay trailer was released, that grim setup is a bit at odds with the cartoonish visual style, but I hope that developer Cliffhanger Prod
