With very little fanfare, Jagged Alliance: Flashback, the latest title in the venerable series of turn-based tactical combat games, this time developed by Danish studio Full Control, has been officially released after a long Early Access gestation and can be grabbed on Steam for $29.99/€29,99/£24.99, while a Humble Bundle DRM-free version of the game will be made available later. Here's some info concerning the Kickstarter rewards and the features that will be added post-launch from the Kickstarter update:
A lot of people have asked us what happens on the other side of the release. The answer is "it depends". It depends on sales really. We have to feed our families and pay the bills like everyone else, and only if the game sells will we be able to do bigger expansions.
BUT - we have a track record of post-launch support, and we are dedicated to that for JAF as well. So coming up in some weeks from now will be a free upgrade with some of the content that didn't get into the 1.0 release.
Read on!
The first 2 things are features we really really would have loved to have in 1.0, but that didn't make the deadline.
- Weapon attachments
Scopes, silencers, ammo extenders and more!!
- Ammo types
Armor piercing, hollowpoint and other nasty pieces of lead
Additionally we want to add more content to the game. So
- Soviet weapon pack
As pointed out by the community, we added a lot of western weapons to the game. Its time to look at the old Soviet weapons and get a batch of them into the drop tables.
And lastly 2 features that didn't turn out as great as they could have. So we will fix them up and polish:
- Shotguns:
Making shotguns look and feel more "blasty" - make them shoot multiple projectiles at once, so you get that great (buckshot) feel.
- Better shop interface:
A proper shop with images, stats and also ability to sell your items again
What is on the horizon past that is a big unknown. Bugfixes are a given, but content wise we don't want to promise something we can't deliver. So let's see what happens over the next weeks. Kickstarter related info

Digital Rewards and Humble Bundle Info
For release day you'll only have access to the digital version of the game. All other digital rewards will be uploaded to Humble Bundle once they're ready and we'll let you know through Kickstarter Updates. Most should be available at the same time we have produced the physical goods.
We're still getting a few reports about people not being in the right tier. The spreadsheet Humble Bundle had set up needed to be completely redone, but it is a lot better now. There could be some issues when people change their email address and such, we don't get any information about that unless you tell us or if we re-export the tiers.
On Humble Bundle we've used the email you pledged with, be it on PayPal or via Kickstarter. If you create an account on HB with that email and claim past purchases you should be able to see what you have access to.
