Jagged Alliance 2: Wildfire is the direct result of efforts made by many highly devoted fans to add a number of enhancements to the gameplay of their favorite title. I-Deal Games has revisited the 1999 strategy game from Sir-Tech and has added exceptionally thick foliage, many realistically modeled new weapons, and improved enemy intelligence. The new game also offers a much, much tougher challenge than that of the original Jagged Alliance 2–perhaps too much for most players. Fortunately, Wildfire also includes the full version of Jagged Alliance 2, so those who missed out on the less-punishing original game can pick it up cheaply, while hardcore fans can play through the new Wildfire campaign or use the included source code to create their own modifications.

The Jagged Alliance games were created by Canadian developer Sir-Tech, and the series garnered a loyal fan following with its combination of personality, humor, and exciting tactical strategy. In the original Jagged Alliance 2, you played as a mercenary who hired a team of other mercenaries from a diverse pool of highly skilled (and some not-so-skilled) soldiers of fortune. Then you took on a despot who had seized control of a third-world country. Jagged Alliance 2 was primarily a turn-based game in which your mercenaries used “action points” to move, sneak around, plant bombs, pick locks, scale buildings, throw grenades, attack at close range, and fire on enemies while slowly inching toward the nation’s capital. You later obtained more money to hire and recruit a larger army with better weapons. The original game’s turn-based battles were challenging and surprisingly tense, since they did an excellent job of modeling what it would be like to command a small infantry squad in jungle and urban battles, as well as in stealth and night-ops missions.

Wildfire’s campaign is based on that of the original Jagged Alliance 2, and both campaigns offer a considerable amount of playtime. However, Wildfire’s tougher campaign will definitely require even more time and effort. Despite the lack of any kind of multiplayer options, the game comes bundled with the original Jagged Alliance 2 at a modest price point of $20. It also comes with the original game’s source code for those hardcore hobbyists who enjoy creating modifications, though the code is provided as actual raw code and not as an easy-to-use editor. This basically means that you’ll need programming expertise and more than a little spare time to be able to use it. It seems odd that publisher Strategy First didn’t also bundle in the Unfinished Business expansion pack from 2000 (which appears in the publisher’s previous Jagged Alliance 2 Gold bundle), but Wildfire still has a lot to offer. More-casual players may have trouble getting past the game’s dated presentation and punishing difficulty. However, fans of squad-level tactical strategy and small-arms battles who are looking for a serious challenge–and can forgive the game’s appearance–will find that Wildfire offers as much depth and excitement as Jagged Alliance 2.
