Jagged Alliance: Crossfire is a solid tactical game, which has some renewals like the sector inventory or the optional Line of Sight. The Stop&Go mode works fine and creates nice, tactical fights. The economy part, the global map, has far too little options and is not sufficient for a real Jagged Alliance. Nonetheless Crossfire is a solid game and a reasonable option for every strategy fan especially due to the low price.
One of the best 5 games I ever played in my entire life
Ignore the others negative reviews of xcom fanboyz , they like something from this game but yet they give a 0 score in their reviews, that say everything about their "fair" judgment
Как говориться "на безрыбье и рак рыба". Вполне интересный и играбельный проект. Тактические игры не популярны, и это игры является одной из зацепок в современной игровой индустрии.
Jagged Alliance: Crossfire is an add-on that have only new maps and few new mercenaries. The gameplay is the same: who didn't like the previous episode won't like this one neither.
You wanted more of the same? Then Crossfire has got you covered. It's an add-on that doesn't bring much new to the table and does little to enhance the core strategic gameplay. That notwithstanding, it still is perfectly solidly playable and quite challenging.
Despite a handful of flaws, Crossfire isn't a bad or unnecessary expansion. After finishing Back to Action I felt that there should be a new territory to conquer. I didn't think that the developer will fix a lot of mistakes and make some new ones on the way. This add-on is imbalanced, has an economy that is unfitted to the new territory, and a lot of "gaming mines" that are easy to step on. All in all, Crossfire is a game worse than Back to Action was on the day of its debut.
Crossfire shoots blanks. You don't need the original JA and the tactical part of the game isn't that bad but what good is it when the rest sucks big time. [Oct 2012]
I give it an 8 because there was nothing similar out there when it was released,some bugs but nothing that stopped me from completing the game, character voices can be annoying you can tell its europeans trying to be funny but comes off annoying after hearing the hillbillies 100 times
Well, some users don't like it after comparing to JABIA. I can understand that since DLC only cost 5 dollars and this "standalone expansion" cost 30 bucks. Now if you put that aside, the combat of JAC is net. Most bugs in JABIA is fixed. The gaming experience is nice, especially when the enemies walked right into your carefully planned traps surrounded by landmines and be picked out without giving you a scratch, or when your men throw a grenade or two into a room packed with enemies. Never directly confront the enemies. Never expecting to finished a map in one go. They are armies and your are only mercenaries after all. Playing on hard with LOS.
This game is the supposed expansion of BiA, basically its just new maps and a few new mercs, the playstyle is exactly like BiS 1.13, the sector loot is a +, doorway gunfights are no longer bugged, you can arm your mercs with the sector loadout inventory, which is really sweet, and you can train mercs now.. Now the cons, there are too many upper levels, lower levels, for the "no rooftop" camera to deal with, and if your merc is on top of a roof, good luck moving the rest of your squad to where you want them to be, starting off, unless you have ALOT of money dont expect to advance too far, you will be out gunned by the time you reach the 3rd sector, short of having a tank..dont even bother, also your weapon degradation goes so fast, that its hard to be in a gunfight and not have your weapon jam every 2nd shot, you will not have the mechanical skills to repair your weapons, let alone enough money to buy a toolkit, for me, this is going on the shelf till a trainer comes out. FYI playing this on hard, and no LoS. Good luck all!
Back in Action and Crossfire are two typical examples of 3D graphics done wrong. Don't get me wrong, the graphics themselves are okay, but it is the camera that annoys me. You are practically forced to always adjust the camera which is a NO GO in a modern Iso-3D-Game.
The game itself is okay-ish, but it definitely lacks the atmosphere of the original JA games.
It's a grave of JA series (
Complitly no tactic and horrible micromanagement. Stupid system of damage armor, and stupid LVL cap.
Stupid camera and stupid hit system.
SummaryJagged Alliance: Crossfire is a stand-alone expansion to the hit tactical RPG Jagged Alliance: Back in Action that adds new mercenaries, new environments, and new weapons.
