Evaluation

Jagged Alliance Flashback launched out of Early Access on October 21, 2014, after a development period that included several major feature updates. Following launch, Full Control shipped two post-launch updates: version 1.1.0 on December 5, 2014 (which added new sectors, a questline, weapon attachments, a Soviet weapon pack, and Steam Workshop modding support) and a final patch (1.1.2) on December 19, 2014 (which added Russian localization, Kickstarter backer cosmetics, and bug fixes). No updates of any kind have been posted since December 19, 2014 — over eleven years of silence. The developer's news feed contains no announcements of future content for this game, no roadmap, and no developer statements about ongoing work. The two posts that appear more recent in the feed — a 2018 announcement for a separate game (Jagged Alliance: Rage!) and a 2023 launch post for Jagged Alliance 3 — are about entirely different games published under the broader Jagged Alliance franchise by different developers (HandyGames and Haemimont Games/THQ Nordic respectively), not about Flashback. The store description mentions that "more features and content will be added on a regular basis," but this language dates to the Early Access period and has not been acted upon since late 2014. All evidence points to development having concluded with the December 2014 patch.

About this game

Jagged Alliance is back – and it is all about the unique mix of turn based tactics, fierce battles, squad management and crazy mercenary personalities.

It is 1988 on the Caribbean island group of San Hermanos. A corrupt leader has the islands in his grasp ... yet a group of rebels fights for democratic values and freedom. However, once the head of the rebels is arrested, the insurgents quickly dissolve. Arriving on the island, the player’s mission is to help the rebellion before things take a turn for the worse.

Take control of your own band of mercenaries, lead them into battle and manage your resources wisely. Fight back for freedom, sector by sector, turn by turn. Like the original Jagged Alliance series, Jagged Alliance Flashback gives you the choice to use your preferred tactics and build your squad around it – rush in with heavy armed troops or take the high road of distance shots and sniping.

More features and content will be added on a regular basis, and together with your feedback and support we will shape this game to be the best Jagged Alliance game yet! Please feel free to give us your comments, your thoughts and your recommendations. We listen to every one of you.
