Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge

[pontifex]

Another game like Jagged Alliance that came out in 2007/2008. I saw this on Steam and it looks interesting (but you can't buy it from Steam so why the hell is it on there?)

Metacritic has a score of 58% so not that great, but has anyone played this?
What did you think of it?

I'm kind of looking for something like this. I'm wondering if I should just get Jagged Alliance 2 instead even though it is old now. Are there any mods to update the graphics?

I haven't played it, but what I can remember of reading about it wasn't that positive.

FYI, Gog.com has JA2. No graphics update mods that I know of, but there is a total conversion (Urban Chaos) with new maps, weapons and story for after you finish the normal campaign.

It used to be available on Steam. Maybe it was pulled because of a licensing or technical issue?

It looks like there's a demo:

If you get the original JA2 just go over to Bear's Pit and get the v1.13 mod. There you can get player made mods to play until JA3 comes out 2011. v1.13 adds quite a bit to JA2.

I wouldn't recommend this game. It's buggy, runs poorly and incredibly difficult (not in a fun way).

Grab Jagged Alliance 2 1.3, it's a blast. Also, I'd recomend Silent Storm.
