- Jagged Alliance 3D Q&A -
Tacticular Cancer has been updated with a Jagged Alliance 3D Q&A: "We pay
much attention to replayability. You can complete the game each time
differently depending on the way you play. If you fall out with everyone you
meet, don't expect any help, and then you path will be not so easy. But if you
are polite and sympathetic, you will get new friends who will do what they can
to help you. By the way, a complicated system of dialogues makes this variety
available."
