If you move into an enemy-held sector, the game moves to combat mode, where you get an over-head slightly-isometric turn-based tactical combat that's based on 'action points', which limits the amount of action each merc can perform.

Each merc has a different price, so you'll need to balance what you can afford vs. You'll need shooters (both long and short guns), explosive experts (to set/disarm bombs/traps), mechanics/gunsmiths (fix/modify your equipment), doctors/nurses (to heal wounded mercs). Some work well with others, others won't. Each of the mercenaries have personality. You can hire/fire mercs.Įach merc can move or shoot or perform any of the other actions as long as they sitll have action points. You need to hold more sectors in order to increase the number of trees you hold, which will increase your income. You start with just one sector, with a few trees for your income. On the 'strategic view', you get to see the various sectors of Metavira. Jagged Alliance is a turn-based tactical combat game with a mixture of strategy, reminiscent of X-Com games. Eventually, you'll meet up with the bad guys' leader in his compound for the final showdown.

Travel through lush jungles, treacherous rivers (with venomous snakes!), and more as you seek to free Metavira. Hire a good mechanic in order to get your equipment and guns repaired, and to 'enhance' them with various add-ons. You will also need to retrieve certain objects from behind enemy lines, rescue captured personnel, capture equipment, and more. The more money you have, the more you can do, such as hire native guards, hire more mercs, in order to take the offense and clear the sector of enemies. The more trees you hold, the more money you make. The land of Metavira needs your help! Contract additional mercenaries as you explore, capture, and hold new territory so the natives can harvest the valuable trees from which a revolutionary medicine can be extracted.
