“SHADES OF RED” DLC !!!

DLC Shades Of Red


Latest Update 1: Shades of Red will probably not be Arulco


Latest Update 2:

It’s time to get Back in Action with the new Jagged Alliance Shades of Red add-on content!

The threat of a nuclear disaster has never been greater! The nefarious terrorist Ante Silevic has captured an atomic weapon and plans to attack a meeting of the world leaders in Eastern Europe. Three hardened mercenaries are our only hope to save the world from total chaos. Ivan Dolvic, Kyle 'Shadow' Simmons and Cynthia 'Fox' Guzzman must infiltrate the enemy base deep in the woods and put a stop to his activities. But in an unfortunate turn of events, Fox is captured by Silevic’s henchmen before the mission even starts. Can you manage to free Fox, complete the mission and save the world?

- New action-packed mission based on the Jagged-Alliance novel 'Shades of Red' by I.M. Wong
- More than one hour of additional play time
- Delver deeper into the backstory of three of Jagged Alliance’s most popular characters
- New Steam achievement

Hmmm, no more info than it's just coming?

Ohh well, waiting to see what it's all about.

[bitComposer_Michael]

We will reveal more information in foreseeable future I think. Also I believe that we continue with the method to reveal next steps with a release of something else (like: Patch 1 is released, some infos about the second one. Patch 2 is released, first information that there at least will be a DLC and so on.).

Something based on Infrared perhaps, with a gun, a helmet and a piece of chest armor xD

I have just found it on Steam as well: http://store.steampo...com/app/203344/

Having read the description, I can already tell you that I will not buy it. I am more than happy to subsidize the franchise, but this DLC does not intrigue me at all.

Bring on most features of the wish list enhancing the basic game and your money will be mine!

[recently.deceased]

Has anybody installed it yet? Are there any new features available?

[Tangra]

Ok, just purchased it and there is no option to start it...

I click on the DLC menu and inside there is nothing. Rechecked the game files, everything is fine, restarted steam no luck.

[general solomon]

I am glad they moved away from the islands. Wish they could have added a snow map. Can someone tell me how is the new map?

[Tangra]

Please some one other than me who bought it, tell us if it's working?

just to remind you arulco in fact never was an island


also what happened to bitComposer not being a friend of little dlc?
for me 3.99 for ~2 hours of gameplay is quite a bit more than i payed per hour for the full game this isnt for me i guess.

i hope there will be a full fledged addon whith the same scope as the full game...

[Linus]

Is the one+ hour additional gameplay, a typo, a bad joke or just a plain insult?

In a way I suppose future DLCs is to thank for the great recent patches. But I feel I already paid for that, by pre-ordering the game.

I will not be getting this DLC, at least not until I have checked around "lets plays" and reviews to see if the features list really is as insulting as it sounds.

My money is my vote

[Pheace2]

Have to agree, this type of DLC isn't to my liking either. I'd really prefer they kept their focus on the enhancing the base game, not stuff that puts you outside of it.

That said, the price is certainly right. Might pick this up eventually.

[general solomon]

they should just create a scenario builder where we could add maps and play 1 off games on a wide range of maps. this way i could choose my team and random select the enemy.

[general solomon]

dan, can you please do a quick gameplay preview of this dlc??

[Jernau]

Ok so this was advertised today as being released on steam. Its not working, at all. I'm not alone. Whats going on here Michael?

Here is a link to the Steam thread: JABIA Steam Forum

dan, can you please do a quick gameplay preview of this dlc??

ye sure once i get my hands on it ..... i might even be able to release a small teaser before it comes out .
All depends on how it goes with Michael as he is dealing with it and there is alot of work.

[bitComposer_Michael]

I'm investigating right now. Seems like Steam unlocked it but made a mistake. Don't know yet.

By the way for the playtime: The 1 hour playtime... well... it's more a guess. I myself needed 3 hours to get through it (without True Sight activated). Without seeing enemies I myself wasn't able to get till the end

However: Still investigating. Here everything works fine so far. But we're checking it.
