In JA:BIA, mercenaries are not hired, they are purchased. Back to the computer and we hit realtime again as a stream of consciousness spews straight into our eyes. Is he really petty enough to pick at what to many may amount to one little scab? The slight downturn at the corners of his mouth that creases and diminishes but never vanishes as he sighs tells me that there’s no reasoning with him. First of all, the rest.Įven as I prepare to write this, I feel like pausing and commanding myself to walk to the nearest mirror to take a long look at the scarcely believable parody of a man staring back at me. It's certainly not all bad and functions as an alternative rather than a replacement, but I'll take a shotgun to the combat and dissect it later. Combined with the lack of war-fog, these two choices are the biggest contributors to JA:BIA's individuality, giving progress across Arulco an entirely different feel to the cautious creep of old. This isn't a turn-based game, it uses a pausable real-time system, with commands either issued on the fly or in a planner while the action is frozen. I probably shrieked all four of those things at some point during game’s development and continued to mutter some of them darkly while playing the beta but the truth is that Back In Action has enough about it to be its own game, with moments that could only exist in its pausable bouts of gun-loving liberation. As with any remake of a beloved piece of entertainment, there is a temptation to cry foul immediately: "They are just cashing in on the name!" "Why remake something that is already so wonderful?!" "Every change will be for the worse!!!" "I warrant that it'll come with prohibitive and unrealistic DRM." It is only right that one of us should go Back In Action.Īs even your Uncle Kevin knows by now, Back In Action is a remake of Jagged Alliance 2, with the same map and (some of) the same mercs waiting for a benevolent overlord to fill their coffers so they can start filling coffins. All of us have seized Drassen airport more times than we care to remember.
Many of us learned that cows make for excellent target practice, even if we felt bad about it afterwards. We never quite worked out why we were being attacked by Bloodcats and we mostly ignored the existence of the Crepitus. We are the few who have liberated Arulco, we sent flowers to the queen and then we blew the doors off her palace. We are an army of the persistent, the courageous, the savvy, the devoted.
