bitComposer et Gamigo continuent d’améliorer régulièrement l’adaptation de Jagged Alliance en jeu free to play par navigateur web. La bêta du jeu s’était terminée l’automne dernier et voici d’ailleurs la bande-annonce diffusée pour l’occasion. Jagged Alliance Online sera donc bientôt disponible sur Steam, vers la fin avril. Voici la liste des principales nouveautés prévues :
- Improved F2P model – all items in the shop are available through regular play, and can be earned more easily. All known pay-to-win tactics have been eliminated.
- Total class, weapon, and armor rebalance – starting classes are more balanced, and changes to weaponry allow more freedom to customize a character to your play-style. Sniper with a heavy machinegun? Sure, why not?
- Better PvP maps – more tactics and fewer Mexican standoffs.
- Improved mercenary and gear rules – all mercenaries and gear are fully restored after each mission so you can immediately jump back in the game. Players should never be penalized for simply playing.
- Action Point rebalance – increased Action Points, faster movement speeds, and reduced ready-costs make tactical maneuvering more important while creating a far more exciting gameplay experience.
- Increased HitPoints, new critical hit rules, status effects, new exotic weapons and armor, improved AI, and more.
Ça semble plutôt bien foutu mais le trailer manque d’info concernant le gameplay. Difficile de s’en faire une idée quand on a pas suivi le jeu. Relativisons… il s’agit d’un jeu sur browser et même si cela n’est pas nécessairement péjoratif, difficile cependant de fantasmer :)
