Developer Kalypso Media has announced the UK release of Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, the latest instalment of the military-themed tactical games which allow users to control multiple squads of soldiers in a variety of innovative and exciting scenarios.
The latest edition tasks gamers with running their own private military corporation, recruiting and equipping teams of mercenaries before commanding soldiers in combat.
Action will take place on the fictitious country of Arulco, where the player must attempt to free the island from the grip of a tyrannical dictator with the help of various bands of mercenaries and freedom fighters.
It will be carried out through a plan-and-go combat system which combines elements of turn-based gaming with real-time strategy, while allowing players to upgrade their mercenary's statistics in a manner reminiscent of traditional RPG gaming.
The Jagged Alliance series has a long history in the gaming world, with the original game being released for MS-DOS in 1994.
