Action-RPG Jagged Alliance announced for DS

chautemoc | August 26, 2008 | Press Release | DS

Sure, there are RPGs aplenty out or coming out for DS, at least most of which seem to be of great quality. But if you're looking for something that sticks out of the mix, Jagged Alliance might be for you.

Known as a PC series with a cult following, the gameplay is described as "an explosive fusion of a role playing game mixed with turn-based tactical combat." Looking at the screens, it seems strongly reminiscent of games like the original Shadowrun, and Fallout/Fallout 2. Bringing this kind of thing to the Dual Screen could prove a very satisfying experience.

Jagged Alliance releases sometime next year.

A new generation of gamers will be invited to liberate the Island of Metavira in the nonlinear game play that made the 1994 original so popular amongst gamers.

"Jagged Alliance provides an exciting blend of RPG and turn based action, which has already won fans and accolades worldwide. The time is right to bring its frenetic battles to Nintendo DS and allow a brand new audience the experience the exhilarating game play." commented, James Spice, VP of Marketing for Empire Interactive.

"Jagged Alliance DS is one of the many forthcoming highlights in our new release pipeline and this announcement augments Empire's commitment to bringing quality titles to a global market," said Clive Kabatznik, CEO of Silverstar Holdings. "The title will prove to be a truly entertaining experience for DS gamers."
