Dealing with them in Gears Tactics works much in the same way as it does in the main series, only in the new layout, knowing they could pop up anywhere before your turn makes the appearance of unannounced enemies more dangerous than they’ve ever been.

One of the best examples of this are the emergence holes, whereby at any moment the ground will crack and hordes of Locust will start to crawl out. I mentioned in the intro how well integrated several of Gears of War’s established conceits were. Gears Tactics was never going be able to match the graphical powerhouse that is Gears 5, but it marks a major step up over most other strategy games. I played on a gaming laptop equipped with a GTX 1070 on medium settings and could always run the game at a smooth 60 fps.
I’d say it’s a lot more impressive than any XCOM game, but at the same time the level of environment and explosion detail will be dependent on your PC’s graphics card.
On the visual side of things Gears Tactics gets the job done just fine.

Features like this makes Gears Tactics less of a grind, doing well to ease in series fans that are new to this genre. Luckily, Gears Tactics does throw you a lifeline in particularly tough battles, granting each of your units with a second wind ability that will let them revive once per chapter with just one action point. And while main characters are given pre-determined classes and won’t suffer from permadeath, you’ll recruit and rescue other COG soldiers that are procedural generated and always at risk of falling. There are five class types featured – Heavy, Vanguard, Scout, Sniper, and Support – all of whom boast roughly 30 different skills that can be enhanced in their skill tree once they level up. Needless to say, managing all four COG members efficiently means knowing each class’ special skills, and it’s through these that you’ll stand a fighting chance. Even on the standard difficulty setting battles never feel too easy, though, mainly due to your Locust foes having the exact same capabilities. Whereas other games of this ilk seem to want to stick to two action points, Gears Tactics grants you with three – which is more than enough to have a squad member, move, shoot and then set up for Overwatch.
There are three acts to play through in total, each featuring mission chapters that gradually ramp up in difficulty thanks to new enemy types being introduced and some seriously challenging multi-phase bosses that will test your strategic shooting ability.īattles in Gears Tactics might entirely play out in turn-based fashion, but there’s a quick sense of pace given to every skirmish thanks to the number of moves each unit can make. The development of its two lead characters Gabe and Sid Redburn are evidence of this, as is the inclusion of fully-fledged cinematic cutscenes that really sell you on the idea that Gears Tactics is a true Gears game and not just a spin-off that warrants forgetting. Its emphasis on story is arguably what sets Gears Tactics apart from the likes of XCOM and Phoenix Point the most, with The Coalition treating it as an equally important part of the series canon. As this is a prequel story to any prior event Swarm enemies are nowhere to be seen here, and I’d be lying if I said that it wasn’t nice to be fighting against Gears’ classic Locust enemy during their peak. Set roughly 12 years before the event of the original Gears game, the focus here is not on Marcus Fenix or the rest of Delta squad, but rather Gabe Diaz – father of Gears 5’s Kait – who is tasked with putting a COG squad together to take down a new Locust menace.
