«Бригада Е5: Новый альянс» - это тактическая игра, действие которой разворачивается в небольшом тропическом государстве Палинеро. В стране произошел государственный переворот, и она находится на пороге гражданской войны. Главному герою игры предстоит сформировать из наемников собственный отряд специального назначения и оказаться в самом центре событий, происходящих в Палинеро. В основе концепции игры лежит оригинальная система, получившая название SPM (Smart Pause Mode). Она успешно сочетает преимущества походовых игр и игр реального времени. Важная отличительная особенность «Бригады Е5» заключается в том, что в игре не используются абстрактные action points. Вместо этого, в зависимости от параметров персонажей на выполнение одного и того же действия тратится разное количество времени. В результате поведение бойцов, которых контролирует игрок и компьютер, становится более естественным и интересным в управлении. Основная задача главного героя, которого игрок может выбрать из нескольких прототипов мужчин и женщин - выжить. В «Бригаде Е5» будут представлены три основные сюжетные линии. Играть можно за любую из воюющих сторон (предусмотрен также переход на сторону противника) или «за себя», по своим правилам, без приказов работодателей. В игре также реализована возможность конструирования новых действий. Игрок может составить цепочку приказов, которые, при соблюдении определенных условий, будут выполняться бойцами автоматически. Подобные скрипты позволят облегчить управление членами отряда. Серьезное внимание в игре уделено экипировке и инвентарю — арсенал оружия и амуниции удовлетворит самых взыскательных игроков. Арсенал «Бригады Е5» будет насчитывать более 100 моделей стрелкового оружия, десятки типов патронов и гранат, несколько вариантов рюкзаков, а также бронежилетов и других средств индивидуальной защиты. У игрока также будет возможность модифицировать вооружение бойцов, используя дополнительные модули (оптические прицелы, гранатометы, штыки, магазины увеличенной емкости и т.п.). В «Бригаде Е5» реализована поддержка сетевой игры (до 4 человек с отрядами, до 6 человек у каждой стороны) в режиме Deathmatch на специальных картах. Оригинальная система Smart Pause Mode (SPM). Усовершенствованный искусственный интеллект, действующий сообразно сложившейся тактической ситуации. Более 30 предварительно созданных городских кварталов и военных баз и случайно генерируемые карты для боев на открытой местности между населенными пунктами. Дома с внутренней планировкой и интерактивными интерьерами. Более 30 профессиональных наемников и возможность найма местных жителей. 3 основные сюжетные линии и возможность играть по своему сценарию, без приказов работодателей, возглавить собственную фракцию и захватить власть в свои руки. Проработанная ролевая система, базирующаяся на развитии основных характеристик бойцов и их профессиональных навыков. Возможность конструирования новых действия: составление перечня приказов, которые, при соблюдении определенных условий, будут выполняться бойцами автоматически. Обширный арсенал оружия и амуниции (более 100 моделей стрелкового оружия, а также гранатометы, ручные гранаты и холодное оружие). Внешний вид персонажей изменяется в зависимости от их экипировки. Возможность управления отрядами бойцов (до 6 человек в каждом подразделении). Смена дня и ночи, разнообразные погодные условия. Инвентарь, вместимость которого зависит от экипировки бойца. Многопользовательская игра в режиме deathmatch.
