This batch of imagery details the strategic aspect of this anticipated tactical turn-based game

Tri Synergy, Inc. and Game Factory Interactive (www.gfi.su) are happy to release another batch of screenshots for their highly anticipated tactical/strategic blend, Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge. This group of images details the various features of the strategic mode of gameplay:

When on the strategic map, players can equip their mercenaries, train, heal, buy guns, read their journal, and much more. The strategic aspect of Hired Guns is not nearly as intense as the tactical action, but the decisions made while resting your soldiers and purchasing new equipment can have a profound impact on how things play out on the battlefield.

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. Found in one of the world’s darkest corners, 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 the African countryside. Choose “jobs” from different factions and complete them for cash to upgrade weapons and hire more elite soldiers of fortune.

Tons of firepower will let your team destroy anything standing, 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.

Features include:

• Ally with up to four different factions for unique bonuses
• Crush your enemies with over 150 upgradeable weapons
• Hire over 30 mercenaries with various specialties and skills
• Destroy everything in your path with a fully interactive world and realistic physics
• Gain territory with brains, brawn or cold hard cash
• Determine your own fate with multiple storylines and endings
• Train your mercenaries to becomes experts at their craft or create all-around soldiers effective at every facet of combat.
• Attach special equipment to weapons like laser sights, scopes, grenade launches, and more to maximize their lethality.
• Smooth talk your enemies into working for you with the right combination of intimidation, wisdom, and money.
• Survey terrain and buildings in a fully 3D tactical mode. Zoom up close and personal to your mercenaries or back from the action to get a larger picture of the battle.
• Complete side missions to gain extra cash or loyalty.
• Upgrade captured territories with extra defense or squeeze more cash from them with new facilities and upgrades.

Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge will hit stores in time for the holiday season at Game Stop, Circuit City, Best Buy, and other fine PC game retailers.
