Evaluation

Jagged Alliance 2 - Wildfire is a 2012 re-release of a classic 1999 turn-based strategy game. Post-launch activity was modest: the developer delivered platform ports (Mac in April 2015, Linux in November 2016) and added the original Jagged Alliance 2 Classic as a DLC on February 23, 2017. That DLC release represents the last meaningful content addition. There have been no developer communications, updates, patches, or announcements of any kind since February 23, 2017 — over nine years ago. No future content has been announced, no unreleased DLC appears in the store listing, and the developer has not indicated any ongoing work. The game launched as a complete, standalone product and its small post-launch activity cycle concluded in early 2017.
Evidence
Jagged Alliance 2 Classic released as a DLC add-on, described as a way to complete your collection or experience the 1999 original. This is the most recent developer communication on record.

About this game

Even if the regime is totally inept and corrupt, don't suppose for a moment that you as the liberator will be greeted with open arms.

JAGGED ALLIANCE 2: WILDFIRE brings you back to Arulco. The population is being terrorized by a reckless army; in the meantime the main export goods are drugs. Subversion and fraudulence has infiltrated all levels of local government and the ever-present Mafia has his fingers in many pies. You are working undercover on behalf of the US government and your goal is to destroy the mighty drug cartel. You'll need a skilled hand to put together the right team of mercenaries and the negotiating skills of a diplomat to get the sceptical population on to your side. You'll also need the strategic genius of a general and the fighting tactics of a guerrilla.

Should you fail, your "client" will deny all knowledge of your existence.

Jagged Alliance 2 Awards:

Gameplay

An exciting mix of strategy and role-playing that puts you in charge of a nation's fight for freedom. Your objectives are - to hire a core group of skilled professionals through A.I.M., the Association of International Mercenaries; to win the local population over to your side by displaying courage and loyalty; to train your men around the clock and then send them into dangerous missions and lethal fire fights and to conquer the depths of underground mines, reap their riches and discover their secrets. Each success will bring you closer to total victory, while each failure must be overcome with iron determination. Sometimes a tactical withdrawal can bring you more benefits than a battle for battle's sake. Retreat from one sector only to surprise the enemy by attacking on another flank. At the beginning, some of your enemy's bases may seem to be impregnable - but don't despair - you will have to become stronger step by step and slowly gain ground.
