Gears Tactics

If you like Gears of War and turn based DND type stuff, this game is definitely worth a try. It’s an interesting and fun combo. You will get your $30 worth for sure. However—————————- If you play it for long enough, the lack of polish will become apparent to you - it’s like the same 3 [albeit usually fun] mission types over and over again. It’s either “kill everybody”, “capture the points” or “escort the prisoner.” That’s aside from the main quest line missions, and the story is halfway decent for what it is. Many other reviews have also pointed out this lack of variety as the game’s biggest flaw. Nonetheless, the maps are quite varied even if the missions are not, and the game is sufficiently challenging to make your decisions feel impactful. Each mission becomes a puzzle, and they are pretty damn fun to figure out. Although, unless you play on the hardest difficulty, you can literally just exclusively wear gear that mitigates your grenade cooldowns and basically cheese your way through the entire campaign by frag spamming. Sorry, had to say it. I beat the game twice, once on “hardened” (or whatever the equivalent is) and once on the hardest difficulty. On the hardest diff…

In short, Gears Tactics is a great evolution of an XCOM style of game. I love the fact that you are not restricted by the grid, so you can position slightly better (it's still missing waypoints for movement tho), have more actions per turn, which makes for better granular decisions, and the fact that shooting doesn't end your turn, which makes much more sense than in other games. The pacing of the game, both in mechanics/enemies and story, feels about right (besides getting the last hero near the end of the game). Roughly half of the campaign has handcrafted levels, which are much better than just randomly generated ones called side missions (maybe just a placebo effect), and a unique boss at the end of every act. The interesting thing about the side missions is that you cannot take the same soldier on multiple during one chapter so there's a tactical aspect to this. There's also veteran mode after you are finished with the story, which is just randomly generated missions that just feel "Meh" because if you finished the game, you won't have any troubles finishing any of them. Classes, and their weapons, feel distinct and specialized, with skill trees that let you spec into your ow…

Pretty good turn-based game overall. I enjoyed most of it, but some of the mechanics are annoying. The biggest problem, though, was the final boss. I got to Phase 2 and the game just froze. I could move the camera, but I couldn’t do anything else. Restarted the mission 5 times and got the exact same bug every time and there is no fixe for it. Really frustrating to get that far and not be able to finish the game because of a bug. It definitely ruined the experience for me a bit. Forcing Xbox log in is annoying too. Still, overall, it’s a good game.
