Jagged Alliance is a turn-based tactical combat game with a mixture of strategy, reminiscent of X-Com games. Eventually, you'll meet up with the bad guys' leader in his compound for the final showdown. Travel through lush jungles, treacherous rivers (with venomous snakes!), and more as you seek to free Metavira. Hire a good mechanic in order to get your equipment and guns repaired, and to "enhance" them with various add-ons. You will also need to retrieve certain objects from behind enemy lines, rescue captured personnel, capture equipment, and more. The more money you have, the more you can do, such as hire native guards, hire more mercs, in order to take the offense and clear the sector of enemies. The more trees you hold, the more money you make.

The land of Metavira needs your help! Contract additional mercenaries as you explore, capture, and hold new territory so the natives can harvest the valuable trees from which a revolutionary medicine can be extracted. Three skill levels are available, and the game features a large amount of digitized audio and speech. The battle is viewed from a bird's-eye perspective and the player's visibility is limited to what the characters in the field can and cannot see, making cautious tactics mandatory. They also have unique voices and will speak to your throughout the game.

Each of the 60 mercenaries you may select from have their own personalities and skills. During the campaign, other missions will arise. You must select (and pay for) the mercenary force which will carry out the mission. The player has been hired to take back control of the island of Metavira. Jagged Alliance is a turn-based man-to-man combat game with an emphasis on fun rather than strict realism.
