How it plays

How does Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business play?

The game alternates between an overhead strategic view and turn-based isometric tactical battles. Players recruit mercenaries, assign equipment, travel between sectors, and fight enemy forces while managing health, fatigue, ammunition, and morale.

Battles use action points for movement, shooting, changing stance, reloading, throwing items, and interacting with objects. The campaign follows a structured series of operations rather than the large-scale territory-conquest model of Jagged Alliance 2. Mercenaries gain experience and improve their attributes and skills as the operation progresses.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business?

Preserve action points for reactions and overwatch-like responses instead of spending every point on movement. Use cover, crouching, darkness, and controlled bursts to reduce incoming fire.

Keep weapons repaired, carry suitable ammunition, and rotate fatigued mercenaries. Save explosives for clustered enemies or fortified positions, and search sectors carefully for supplies before advancing.
