Jagged Alliance: Back in Action - Neuer Patch v1.02 & v1.03 veröffentlicht

Jagged Alliance: Back in Action erschien am 9. Februar 2012.

Der Entwickler Coreplay Game Development hat über die Online-Plattform Steam zwei Updates des Strategie-Spiels Jagged Alliance: Back in Action veröffentlicht. Während Version 1.03 nur kleine Änderungen am Kampf-System vornimmt, verändert das Update 1.02 unter anderem die Kamera-Positionierung und verbessert das Benutzer-Interface.

Außerdem wurden einige Spielfehler behoben. So bleiben Positionen auf der Weltkarte zum Beispiel nach einem Kampf auch weiterhin sichtbar und verschwinden nicht. Auch einige Fehler der Gegner-Intelligenz wurden behoben und verbessert.

Erste Eindrücke von Jagged Alliance: Back in Action können Sie mittels der Demo-Version auf GameStar bekommen. In einem ausführlichen Test haben wir die Neuauflage des großen Genre-Klassikers unter die Lupe genommen.
