Play Jagged Alliance (cd) Online

Jagged Alliance is a turn based strategy game released for MS DOS in 1995. Developed by Madlab Software and published by Sir Tech Software, Inc., the game presents a bird's eye view of its fictional setting. Players take on the role of a commander tasked with liberating the land of Metavira.

The core objective is to explore and capture territory from enemy forces to secure valuable trees, which generate income for the operation. Players hire and manage a team of mercenaries, each with unique skills, personalities, and salary demands. These characters fulfill specialized roles such as marksmen, medics, mechanics, and explosives experts. Progression involves moving between sectors on a strategic map, where uncontested areas allow for resource management, including hiring native guards to hold territory and workers to process trees. When entering an enemy held sector, the game shifts to a turn based tactical combat mode where each mercenary's actions are governed by a limited pool of action points.

Management extends beyond combat to include equipment allocation, medical treatment for wounded personnel, and training for idle mercenaries. Financial resources must be balanced between ongoing expenses like salaries and new purchases for weapons, armor, and gear. The campaign features various mission objectives such as rescuing hostages, retrieving items, and dealing with random events that affect the strategic situation. The ultimate goal is to systematically clear sectors of opposition and confront the enemy leader in a final engagement.
