At first glance, it looks better than all Ja2 sequels I've seen in last 15 years.

Is there a manual somehwere describing the game mechanics in detail?
Are there any hotkeys?
Would be good to have settings to inverse mouse zooming and panning.

This game is designed to run on tablets

I played it a bit - it's won't replace JA2, but what will? I will keep it and play some more - which is pretty high praise from me, actually . . . I don't keep a game around unless it's fun to play. I like what I see so far.

I'd swear I've seen the name Ed Welch attached to a pc game before, probably in a positive manner. I forget which one though.

Pics seem positive. Thanks for showing a fair amount of the gameplay and the actual GUI in use in your game video. I'm getting very tired of seeing so many flashily edited, one second between camera cut, music video-style gaming trailers or videos. This one seemed fairly informative.

Graphics look good enough, style was interesting, seemed that gear changes show in the game screen, which is nice to see. Looked a lot like a turn-based version of Jagged Alliance Back in Action or a similar style game, which is good.

I'll probably download this game and take a look at it. If the Randomized Scenes (maps) and campaigns works out, this might not be bad at all, but a lot will depend on the actual capabilities and features within the game.

Even if this is just Hired Guns done right, it would be a pretty cool game. The problem in the past is things aren't done right in some oddball way on almost every Jagged anything. Maybe the first thing you did right was avoid the "Jagged" in the title and avoid the curse. Merc Tactics is also a promising and descriptive name.

The game plays well, reminds me of pistol period in Ja1.
Is it possible to turn on showing remaining APs at the end of moving? Or am I missing something?

It still has much less basic features than even Ja1 (no grenades, no destructible environment, no suppression etc.), but definitely playable and enjoyable.

The interrupt thing is still not clear for me. Why sometimes it is shown and sometimes not, even if I have enough APs? Why the interrupt cone disappears when the merc crouches?

Indication above enemies is hard to see, especially small text and when zoomed out.
No fullscreen mode.
Is there a hearing model in the game or enemy can only be detected by sight?

The remaining APs is shown in the HUD.

@Lefty
Thank you for your replies!
Unfortunately, the game suddenly stopped working for me - when I start MercTactics.exe, it shows OpenGL problem: Couldn't initialize GLEW! messagebox and exits.
Tried to reinstall it several times, still no successs. I don't think I changed anything in the system recently. Any idea how to fix that?

Honestly, I don't see it. I see current APs, but not APs that will be left after movement to selected point. Can you show it on a picture please?
It would be more convenient if the game would show APs at last point of the movement right in the green square.
OK, I see the light green square now, but still it's not what I would want - it only allows to plot path for one single shot, and what if I want to move forward, shoot 1-2 times, maybe burst, and move into cover or retreat several tiles? I would have to count green squares for that and do all the math in my head.

Also, APs to fire can only be seen in extended view, so player needs to remember all APs for all weapons in the game, or constantly open extended view to check APs to fire.

I understand that sounds are only placeholders at the moment, but they are really the weak part of the game atmosphere. Would be much better if you add at least more city echo with reflections (sounds in Flashback, for example, are not bad in that).

So, you want to display the number of APs left in each square of the move path?

That's it, Armageddon Wars, I was going to guess that. I thought that game had a lot of interesting features. Unfortunately, it was a tad expensive.

On Merc Tactics, are there multiple height levels? How is the traversing from one height level to another handled? In Hired Guns usually you had to use a ladder, but there may have been a hidden key for jumping or climbing up the wall? Most of these games cut corners somewhere, unfortunately, so sometimes the A.I. knows how to handle height levels, and sometimes it doesn't.

It worked today, but suddenly stopped launching. Maybe there was some background windows update, I don't know.
Other 3d games (directx) work well. I don't run any other application apart from usual background things like antivirus.

So, you want to display the number of APs left in each square of the move path?
I think just the number in the last square is enough, since player is dragging it anyway and can test all squares he needs. Either AP to move there or remaining APs at that point (which is better probably as you already use light green to indicate remaining AP for a shot). On the other hand, showing AP cost may be better, for example, if you want to move out of cover or closer to enemy, shoot, and move back, you would want to know the path cost which you can then multiply by two and see if there's enough APs left for tne shot.

Zoom scrolling is slow and not smooth for some reason.

New interrupt works well, why not enable it by default at the end of the turn, without manual activation? I see no reason not to use it, and it would save extra click.
How about automatic reaction fire - when enemy enters interrupt circle, merc fires one shot or burst, if there is no friend fire danger? if enemy moves to next circle, one more shot is fired.

I also miss fullscreen mode and camera rotation for better view.
Last time I was playing a campaign in 0.6, there was like 1-2 opponents in locations, is that intended? Not too difficult or challenging.
I've read about dynamic difficulty, but maybe include "die hard" mode for those who love challenge, with max AI and game diffuclty from the start?

Yes, I can activate the interrupt automatically. I'm not sure about automatically firing though, because then the merc has no possibility to duck behind cover, nor does he have chance to choose target, or wait til the enemy moves closer.

For the first few battles the player is still learning how to play, so I made it very easy. The map is organised into three "levels" and there is a "gateway" village connecting one level to another. None of this is explicitly marked on the map. Most villages in Level 1 only have one ore two enemies, but once you reach the gateway you will notice that it gets a lot more difficult. Stiil, I could add a setting to make difficulty always very hard.

The gun shots that you put in the video sound too echo-y to me, like if they were shooting in a big warehouse or something.
