Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games

Rather than retreading the campaign formula of its predecessor, Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games focused on standalone tactical missions and competitive play. Released in 1996, it offered players a chance to experiment with squad compositions, weapons, and strategies without worrying about a larger storyline. The familiar mercenaries returned, bringing their quirks and attitudes along for the ride. Missions ranged from straightforward firefights to objective-based scenarios requiring careful coordination. While not as famous as the main entries, the game became a favorite among fans who simply wanted more tactical action. It is essentially the strategy equivalent of asking for one more round and accidentally playing all night.
