The comprehensive update comes with several bug fixes and overall performance improvements to the tactical portion of the game.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Hired Guns – The Jagged Edge has improved significantly in game balance and performance since its release. We are working with the development team to continue to improve and expand on the game as time goes on.”

Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge is a turn-based strategy game 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.

An African continent has never been a hospitable place. Impassible jungle, wild aboriginals, half-anarchic states, where military upheavals and civil conflicts have become something common, an explosive mixture of the brute and Kalashnikov guns. It's the place where gather all the mercenary detachments, ready to dismember even the Evil One for a penny. Soldiers who obey you must calm crazy and noisy aggressors down. And then, according to a deep tradition, they should play jazz at the funerals of a willful dictator.

The advances are transferred, sir. You're to decide.

Once it was a sequel of a famous series, but it turned out that this time it's a brand new game, with its own heroes, its plot and numerous new features:

  • Free movements of a detachment across the global map.
  • Several active groups who can choose friends, as every detachment owns specific bonuses!
  • More than 150 types of weapon with a extended system of upgrades.
  • An opportunity to upgrade sectors both on the economic and military plane.
  • An advanced system of dialogues.
  • A totally non-linear plot with several options to end the game.
  • An opportunity to conquer sectors with the help of diplomacy and special offers!
  • An opportunity to destroy everything and everybody! You can pull down any house, uproot any bush, fell all the trees!

It's not the complete list of the advantages! The game has more!
