Battle Brothers just recently made it to early access on steam. Its like JA - turn based but with melee combat. You run a band of mercenaries in the medieval world. Oh and youll have to deal with the fantasy elements (vampires, goblins etc.) . . but even they arent overdone (by which i mean they arent arcadey). So u pay the mercs, provide them with gear, there is a strategy map in which ur party moves around. Id say this guy owes JA devs some royalty!!!
You can play the free combat demo btw on the site. I think ull love it . . the best thing I like so far is the different mechanics for each weapon and MORALE!! . . im a big fan of suppression, flanking and morale (well suppression isnt really in here but the other two are). As far as weapons go the best one I liked is the spear. A guy with the spear can end his turn with a stance and can then puncture and stop anyone who tries to get in close . . cause this is SPARTAAAAAA!! OK?? . . . ok.
Then blunt weapons do stun damage which stuns the enemy . .guess what advantage that gets you.
Play it then see if we can tell wannabe JA 3 makers that THAT is how u make a merc-running, enemy-flanking, meaningful-equipment-equiping, turn-based game. let me know asap ppl. Long live 1.13!!
those who cant buy early access or dont want to please try the battle demo . .after all thats whats got me hooked.
Edit : I run this exercise every couple of years on different forums . . just want to confirm if the answer is still no on May 2015. The question is - is there a game like jagged alliance except for :-
1.) the xcoms series
2.) fallout tactics
3.) Xenaunauts
2.) Silent Storm
4.) Brigade 7.62 high caliber (I like this the most - not turn based btw. Just the best game ever made. or maybe the second best ;-))
5.) Expeditions- conquistadors.
(Also by game I meant a good game . .cold contract dosnt exactly qualify)
