Currently available on Steam Early Access, Jagged Alliance: Flashback is a unique mix of deep turn-based tactics, role-playing and squad management, The game plays out on the fictional Caribbean Island of San Hermanos in the late 1980’s, when an elected president - “The Prince” - uses his military forces to halt a rebellious group attempting to overthrow his regime. Powerless against his organised military forces, the leader of the rebellion is arrested and the insurgents quickly dissolve. Arriving on San Hermanos, the player’s first mission is to help the rebel leader escape from prison, before things take a turn for the worse.
