Jagged Alliance 3

Jagged Alliance 3 is a 2023 tactical role-playing video game developed by Haemimont Games and published by THQ Nordic, initially for Windows, but later released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. The game is the fourteenth entry in the Jagged Alliance series, and the first mainline entry game since Jagged Alliance 2.

The game's story takes place in the fictional African country of Grand Chien, in which a rogue paramilitary force has kidnapped its president, leading several groups to take advantage of the chaos this caused for their own good, and forcing the president's daughter to seek outside help to rescue her father. To this end, the player hires a variety of different mercenaries, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, to fight back against the paramilitaries, meeting a variety of different characters and exploring different regions including jungles, savannah plains, settlements, and highlands, and engaging in a variety of different quests.

A strategic map allows players to send squads of mercenaries to different areas of Grand Chien, or to conduct different operations such as repairing items, training militia, or treating wounds. A tactical screen is used when mercenaries explore a sector of the map, engaging enemies in turned-based combat or eliminating them out of combat through stealth, with players able to give individual mercenaries their own orders in and out of combat, such as crouching, unlocking a door or container, shooting an enemy, talking to an NPC, and so forth. The game features a variety of real-world weapons, which can be modified to enhance their capabilities with add-ons such as shortened barrels, different gun stocks, suppressors and scopes, along with armour and various items such as grenades, crowbars and first aid kits.

Jagged Alliance 3 took several years to move beyond the concept stage, switching between different developers, before development began in 2021. The final version received positive reviews from critics.
