And while TBS games are more niche offerings these days with big games like Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 stealing the spotlight, there is a following of gamers who will gladly return to the front lines to experience this new take on the nostalgic game. Gamigo has taken an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” attitude. Players will be able to return to the same game world of Omerta to engage in the same style of freedom-fighter-for-hire action.

Jagged Alliance thrived during the age of TBS games like Civilization, Panzer General, and Commandos. The online game offers depth through a great variety of different opponent types, which make each of the more than 100 missions available a real tactical challenge. And the gameplay experience benefits from improved artificial intelligence. The graphics have been updated, making full use of Unity 3D. This modern version of the classic game Jagged Alliance builds on the series’ strengths to become a browser-based experience. The isometric-perspective combat game is best summarized as two-thirds squad shooter and one-third role-playing game (RPG). And for those who’ve never experienced this classic game, the free-to-play business model encourages anyone to check it out.

The first licensed title from the game maker, Jagged Alliance Online takes the tried-and-true TBS gameplay and introduces it to the online gaming world. The browser-based online game publisher that launched Black Prophecy showcased Jagged Alliance Online at Gamescom 2011. Turn-based strategy (TBS) games are making a comeback thanks to the Unity 3D engine and German publisher Gamigo.
