Jagged Alliance 3
The country of Grand Chien is thrown into chaos when the elected president goes missing and the paramilitary force known as "the Legion" seizes control. Hire mercenaries, meet interesting characters, and fight in tactically deep turn-based combat in this true successor to a beloved franchise.
What it feels like
A true successor to a beloved franchise with serious political upheaval and character-driven narrative suggests sincere, unironic storytelling.
What it's about
Military operations, paramilitary conflict, and armed force takeover form the setting and thematic core of the campaign. A missing president and paramilitary seizure of power drive the plot, involving scheming and the machinery of political control.
How it plays
Grid-based turn-based tactical combat with positioning and range decisions is definitional to the experience—the core 'tactically deep' gameplay loop. Turn-based combat is the mechanical foundation; combatants act in discrete alternating turns rather than real-time. Hiring and assembling a squad of mercenaries with distinct skills and managing their roles in combat is a major system throughout the campaign.
How it looks and sounds
Steam user tags confirm isometric perspective; confirmed by typical tactical RPG presentation.
How it's structured
A bounded, authored story arc with the president's disappearance and Legion takeover as the central narrative through-line that resolves with a definite ending. The game is explicitly designed as a full story campaign playable cooperatively start to finish via online co-op, making multiplayer campaign progression central. Online co-op is explicitly listed as a core feature allowing multiple players to tackle the campaign together remotely.
