“Wow, what a campaign! we’ve been blown away by the community’s feedback and faith in the Full Control team with what is a sacred, beloved franchise to many,” said Thomas Lund, CEO of Full Control, “We are now looking forward to turning this concept into reality and beginning pre-production – as well as engaging with the community and asking for their ideas and feedback to shape the Jagged Alliance: Flashback”.

Set in the late-1980’s on the fictional Caribbean Island of San Christobal, Jagged Alliance: Flashback transports players back in time to the cold war era. The island will hold many hidden secrets, humorous stories and hostile environments, which makes a perfect setting for a fun and challenging game with lots of twists and turns.
Gameplay features will emphasize the core pillars that made the original games great: deep strategy, thrilling action and character RPG elements. The Kickstarter campaign gives the fans the opportunity to determine the scope and scale of Jagged Alliance: Flashback, directly influence the shape of the game and participate during its development.
We’ve been following this Kickstarter campaign pretty closely here at VGU and it’s great to see Jagged Alliance: Flashback succeed. After the success of X-COM: Enemy Unknown the doors have been left wide open for other turn-based squad command games and we are really looking forward to getting our hands on Jagged Alliance: Flashback.
