As it is, JA:BiA is sitting between the chairs. It has too way much tactical depth to be played casually, but it's probably too simple for a hardcore TB strategy player. Plan&Go combat is fun, while the story is not much more than an excuse to liberate Arulco. The gameplay flow is nice, thanks to the usability improvements through the patches.
Jagged Alliance: Back in Action isn't the debacle the shit storm accompanying the release would make you believe. Not even close. It's a good game, leagues ahead of the gazillion Jagged Alliance clones which came out over the years. The game mechanics work, it's fun to play - although the atmosphere is a bit sterile - and it's technically stable. If you can live with the Plan&Go system, JA:BiA is certainly worth a try.
