In this video, Thomas Hentschel Lund – CEO of Full Control, gives a brief rundown of what the classic Jagged Alliance games had that made them interesting to revive now almost 15 years later. He also touches upon what the Kickstarter for Jagged Alliance: Flashback is about in the context of the classic games. Currently the Kickstarter campaign is at $158,000 (45% of the target) with 14 days left on the clock.
Set in the late-1980’s on the Caribbean Island of San Christobal, Jagged Alliance: Flashback transports players back in time to the cold war era. They are to experience the events surrounding the foundation of A.I.M. the international mercenary organization. A destabilizing coup d’état establishes a powerful socialist regime. A hard-line fanatic U.S.S.R. General seizes the opportunity to establish a military base right under the nose of the U.S. Under the secret orders of the CIA, players must re-stabilize the balance of power in the region, restore the democratic government of San Christobal and drive out the U.S.S.R. presence by any means necessary.
Gameplay features will emphasize the core pillars that made the original games great: deep strategy, thrilling action and character RPG elements. The Kickstarter campaign gives the fans the opportunity to determine the scope and scale of Jagged Alliance: Flashback, directly influence the shape of the game and participate during its development. With funding currently at $158,000 over the first half of the campaign, pledges beyond the funding goal of $350,000 will kick off new stretch goals to expand the core game by adding content and gameplay features.
