    FEATURES

    7.62 is a tactical action game, sequel to Brigade E5, similar to such classic titles as Jagged Alliance™, X-Com™, and Silent Storm™. A professional mercenary seeks for a Russian “businessman”, who stole a lot of money from his “colleagues”, then hid in a small country of Latin America to avoid inevitable punishment there. Soon the assignment turns into an intense and dangerous adventure, for there are many things that must be kept in mind – intricate political situation, confrontation between governmental military and rebels, not to mention a necessity to choose friends and foes wisely.

    • Sequel to Brigade E5: New Jagged Union, the best strategy game according to the GameLand Award 2005, “Best Computer Games”, “GameLand” and “Game World Navigator” magazines.
    • SPM (Smart Pause Mode) battle system combines RTS dynamics with diverse opportunities of turn-based gameplay.
    • Over 150 accurately modeled firearms with possibility for upgrade.
    • Varied ammunition as well as the extensive list of equipment.
    • Non-linear storyline gives you an opportunity to make you own choice – to reach one of multiple endings
    • Over 30 mercenaries.
    • Upgraded graphics engine.

    There are some bugs, but on the whole this is a decent successor to E5 and the Jagged Alliance series. The quests and plot are rather basic, but this is a game focused more on tactical combat over everything else. There's plenty of guns and upgrades for them to please the gun nuts, and the combat AI is pretty solid. Anyone who was a fan of the old Jagged Alliance or X Com games will probably be able to overlook the lacklustre roleplaying elements and enjoy the combat.

    I loved the Jagged Alliance games and, reading the other reviews, thought this would be a good game to try. Let's just say that I am glad I only spent $10 on it. I have never played such a broken game. After many hours of reloading and getting to a certain point, none of my saved games worked! EVERY ONE of them led to a crash to desktop before the game even loaded comletely. The gameplay was very week anyway and was very difficult to do much of anything. There was very little that was intuative in it's workings. I really wanted this to be a good game, but alas, it was not.

    As Norwegicus wrote this game is a "little" broken, a few ctd here and there and corrupt saves sometimes.. But it is definitly a great game ! If you loved brigade E5, used to play the Jagged alliance series, tried Wages of War and others JA clones you will definitly like it. Graphics are not what you can expect in 2009 top games but are more than enough to enjoy the world of 7.62. The main story is not really interesting, the side stories are more fun picking your side for government or rebels, but if you like to roam the land with your mercs, grab some missions here and there, take weapons from an amazing choice of firearms, fire a lot of bullets you will like this game. The smart pause system is really smooth and helps giving orders during the action. In addition the community is large and have already released some good mods to play (like the Hardlife one). Pay a visit to Strategyfirst forum to know what bugs you can patch yourself (that are not patched for now) like the underbarrel launchers and other minor bugs easily solved with editing text files.

    I agree with Norwegicus. This game is broken. Cant get into it because the merchant screen is broken. All black except for characters picture and the seller's inventory. Which doesnt sound bad until you actually want to sell or buy something and there are no buttons to implement actions let alone knowing what you already possess. Waste of $10. Dont buy.

    This is a game for gun-nerds who likes RP. The game is not very forgiving and you will need to load a lot of savegames. On the plus side I want to note the very well made RP combat system and you can even use melee to kill enemies. On the minus side: Bad animations, sometimes the camera is quite nuts. No official patch as of yet, though there is a custom-made patch availible that fixes a bunch of bugs.

    Responding to Norwegicus's review - the bugs don't break the game (a resolution change removes the black screen Norwegicus mentions). The remarks on the graphics and the appearance of the cities I mostly agree with. But the gist of the game are the firefights. 7.62 mm and Brigade E5 have the best real-time tactical combat model out there - period. The firefights are dynamic, realistic, and very detailed (including factors such as surges of adrenaline or the fraction of a second it takes to raise your gun when aiming at the enemy), but at the same time quite user-friendly. You won't find such stuff anywhere else - the battles are up there on a par with those in the good old Jagged Alliance 2. Only real-time (with active pause) and much more complex. The price is quite low right now (in the 1C week at GamersGate it's 9.99 EUR), and it's really worth buying now. You might be disappointed, but you might also discover one of three greatest squad-based tactical games ever (together with JA2 and UFO). I kid you not.

    This game is broken. It keeps crashing, traders window is black so you cant buy new gear. The little "Search around" quests are just plain boring. The city streets are all empty except for a few "locals" in yellow shirts and some police and guards so conveniently placed at certain corners. Graphics are ok, and the animations is out dated. Guess its fine when the shooting stars, you cant just run in to the action guns blazing unless you want to risk your life or the life of your hired guns. There are better strategy games out there. Or wait until its in nice price, shouldn't be very long i think.

    If you used to love the Jagged Alliance series, if you are interested in countless of realisticly depicted weapons with numerous attachments, and want to experience the best tactical combat simulator to date, you have to try out 7.62! 7.62 is the sequel to Brigade E5 and is a rather more polished product. The graphics have been improved, the game world is much more 'alive', and the Smart Pause Mode tactical combat is as good and violent as ever! There is also a small but vivid moding community based over at Strategy Firsts Brigade E5 forum (the original English publisher of BE5), eager to improve upon the original game, and in contact with the Russian 7.62 community who has already expended and enhanced the Russian version of the game. Buy the game here and look around the web for the extra content!
