Part of the strategy and genius in the game was the player's freedom to select a multi-faceted team to win the game in different ways. This contrasts the games' setting which is otherwise closely linked to such subjects as war and death the intent is to avoid a false sense of realism and overt references to real political events.Įach mercenary is an individual with their own traits, and fans quickly selected their favourites from the lot (such as the dour, bearskin-cap wearing Ivan Dolvich, who spoke only Russian in the original game and broken English in the sequel).

Sharp humour via spoken character comments is a trademark of the series. A sticky phrase describes these games as " X-COM with personality." The games feature a unique mix of turn-based battle simulation, 4X (eXpand, eXploit, eXplore and eXterminate) elements and role-playing video game. The Jagged Alliance games center on strategically controlling mercenary squads, on and off the field, who complete various missions such as freeing countries from oppressive dictators.
