Hi there! And welcome to my walkthrough for Jagged Alliance 2 (1999), a tactical role-playing game developed by Sir-Tech for the PC platform. Yes, the game is non-linear in nature and allows for multiple approaches, but this walkthrough is written linearly in order to gradually reveal the campaign to newbies without flooding them with info and spoilers.
As with my other walkthoughs this one can double as a retrospective because there will be memories, nostalgia, and praise of virtues and criticism of flaws. But it's hard to find fault with Jagged Alliance 2: I think it's as perfect as this type of game can get. When people ask me what my dream game would be, I answer that it has already been made.
If you don't already, I hope that by reading this series of posts you will come to understand Jagged Alliance 2's greatness.
Gotta love these oldskool FMVs, pre-rendered in 16 bit color. So raw and gritty. And always to the point. Here, tanks are shown rolling into the town of Omerta and blowing things up, and the citizens of Omerta are shown being mowed down by automatic weapons. This is how a dictator took control.
The FMV then cuts to a cafe in Prague, where you are shown being hired by Enrico Chivaldori to liberate Arulco and eliminate its evil queen, Deidranna. Enrico is a blue-blood who married Deidranna for political purposes. He went into exile when she turned against him, but is assumed to be dead by Deidranna and the rebels. He gives you a briefcase full of cash and a note to take to the leader of the rebels in Omerta, Miguel Cordona.
A.I.M.:
The liberation of Omerta:
Getting in contact with the rebels:
Bitch-slapping:
etc.
