    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.

    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.

    Even though this is a standalone expansion, there is hardly anything that makes it special – it would have been better off as DLC.

    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 is such a shallow, boring, predictable experience that asking money for it should be a crime.

    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]

    As much as I love the style of Jagged Alliance, this can BARELY be called a DLC, let a lone a standalone game for 29,99 Euro considering all that is new is another map, significantly smaller than the previous BIA one with no elements of exploring and a few new mercenaries, all of them practically useless. The new items are a joke, only letting you have scraps of old stuff and you STILL cannot repair armor. Do NOT buy this, instead, get actual content from mods.

    Shame on you Kalypso.

  3. 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! Full Review »
