Jagged Alliance DS

Jagged Alliance is a turn-based tactical combat and strategy game set on Metavira. Players contract mercenaries, explore and capture sectors, and hold territory so native workers can harvest valuable trees used to extract a revolutionary medicine.

Controlling more trees generates more money, which can be used to hire native guards and additional mercenaries. This supports an offensive strategy focused on clearing enemies from each sector.
