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. It's, maybe second to Syndicate for me, but then again, those 2 games sort of scratch different itches, one being set in a dystopia that is more Sci Fi ish while the other being a dystopia more closely related to out socio economical current situation.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. Add to that even easier controls, lots more scenarios and more customization to the basic premise and with this title you get the epitome of tactical gameplay, top down, well executed. The backstory had always been a little muddy with jagged Alliance, which persists in this second title just as well, but frankly that is something that bothers me so little and has so little effect on the game that it's almost not worth mentioning. Anyway, with Jagged Alliance 2 Gold Edition the majority of the issues that I had with JA1 were cleared away, and thus, if I feel like top down highly polished low level tactics, this is where I turn to. The graphical presentation of that one was so so for me, alright, but could have been better. I played the older Jagged Alliance and while I found it engaging, there were still issues that managed to nag me here and there.
