There is a price for everything… even Life and Death.
Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge is a turn-based strategy that puts you command of a squad of specialists for hire in the genre’s biggest game-world yet: the African country Diamond Coast. Diamond Coast is a playground for the cruel and corrupt, each with their own agenda. Choose your friends wisely and buy an army of ruthless mercenaries to unleash mayhem on your foes. Choose “jobs” from different factions and complete them for cash to upgrade your weapons and hire more elite soldiers of fortune.
Tons of firepower and plenty of combat experience will give your team the edge when it comes to fighting, but smooth talk and a wad of bills can also go a long way towards ensuring success. With multiple story lines and endings, you’re in total control of your own fate.
Review on Armchair General
When the sun finally sets on a free Diamond Coast, the player is left with the warm glow that comes from playing a good game.
Review on Gamesquad.com
8.3/10 (Great) - This game is a great addition to a fine series requiring tactical sense as well as brute force. Plot twists, a myriad decisions and easy interface make the game as enjoyable as any other game of its genre.

Review on Games32
Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge brings the amazing gameplay up to date with new visuals and a better engine.
- Author: killrbkilled - Reviewed: 22 MAY 2011A Jagged Alliance "want-a-be" that just doesn't make it. 2 glaring faults - 1- Overhead view only makes it most difficult to determine terrain contours, height or depth. It's almost impossible to see doors and windows. 2- the view to the ground is too close. You can't zoom out far enough to see enough of the map. As my screen (most of the time)only scrolled left and right (not up and down) and the tree tops didn't disappear (even when they were supposed to), seeing your men and the bad guys is impossible.
The good news is the game storyline, graphics and user interface is most acceptable for this game.
