Ah, memories of the halcyon days of the early 90s, when grunge was king and strategy was strictly turn- or even hex-based
Strategy First and Cypron Studios have announced they are going to bring their popular turn-based strategy series, Jagged Alliance, to the Nintendo DS.
The game is described in the press release as an "explosive fusion of a role-playing game mixed with turn-based tactical combat".
The series first saw the light way back in 1994 on the PC and now DS owners will get a chance to experience the Xcom-esque gameplay.
"Jagged Alliance provides an exciting blend of RPG and turn based action, which has already won fans and accolades worldwide," commented James Spice, vice president of marketing for Empire Interactive, who will be publishing the game.
"The time is right to bring its frenetic battles to Nintendo DS and allow a brand new audience the experience the exhilarating game play".
"Jagged Alliance DS is one of the many forthcoming highlights in our new release pipeline and this announcement augments Empire's commitment to bringing quality titles to a global market," said Clive Kabatznik, chief executive of Silverstar Holdings, owners of Empire Interactive.
"The title will prove to be a truly entertaining experience for DS gamers."
