Jagged Alliance Armed for PvP on Steam

Fantasy MOBAs and large-scale strategy games are in healthy supply, but turn-based strategy emphasizing small squads and modern firepower? How about one with a focus on PvP?

The Steam release is a very different game from the Jagged Alliance Online currently available as a browser-based game from Gamigo. This is Cliffhanger Productions' show, and the developer is changing the entire focus of the game.

What’s in store for Jagged Alliance Online:

• PvP focus with an emphasis on free content. Cash purchases offered as an alternative – NO balancing tricks to encourage spending.
• Optional, single-player campaign pack as the core means of funding.
• New images showing off a TINY fraction of the weapons and items available.
   

Vienna, May 15, 2013 – Jagged Alliance Online brings PvP-centric gameplay to the classic strategy series when it launches on Steam this spring. Featuring modern firepower, squad combat, and turn-based gameplay, Jagged Alliance Online for Steam will be the first in the series to focus on the competitive experience, with optional content for single-player.

Disregarding typical free-to-play tactics, Jagged Alliance Online will offer all PvP content, including 40+ mercenaries and 500+ items, free of charge. Cliffhanger Productions assures players that everything can be purchased through regular play, with cash purchases offered only as secondary alternatives. Optionally, a single-player content pack containing 100+ hours of gameplay will be available for purchase.

“Jagged Alliance is all about superior tactics (and big guns, of course), so that means providing every player with a chance of winning based on tactical choices, and not any outside factors such as paid items,” says Cliffhanger Productions Founder and Creative Director, Jan Wagner, and continues, “The PvP part is also what makes us stand out from all the Jagged Alliance games, I believe, since no matter how good an AI is, in the end, the true challenge is another player. I am glad we could finally do the game the way we wanted.”
