Though it's definitely not the shortest game out there, Gears Tactics takes, on average, around 25 hours to beat. While this is a good thing for some, locust Horde antagonists it compromises the otherwise vibrant and tactical g

Rewards might be additional Action Point or Gear upgrades, we never know. The missions in the game blur together, but each of them has a different storyline and tasks to complete. They unlock at different levels and the player needs to pass them to get increase their level and action poi

The Boomshot Relic is one of the best weapons that damage enemies with its three explosive shorts at once. The relic changes the Boomshot that makes it easier to fire by holding down the trigger to shoot three Explosive rounds at the same time. With this weapon in hand, the rate of damage increases in a short amount of t

Sound errors, on the other hand, occur depending on the position or an action a character is performing. Though this may not affect a player during play, proper background music or sound effects set the right pace and mood. It is also vital for ascertaining what is exactly happening during the g

It may sound like a given, but Tactics truly impresses in its presentation as another quintessential Gears entry. All of the smells and flavors that helped characterize the series are seamlessly translated over. Cinematic cutscenes are smartly interwoven throughout the story, filled with plenty of tension created by the cast of fantastic voice talent. Low, brassy orchestral lines to add to the gritty, dark atmosphere – it’s all th

The weakest part of Tactics is its mid-to-late-game objective variety. I’m looking at you, accursed side missions. Like many strategy games before it, Tactics ends up relying on the same few formulas for a good bit of its meat. This time around, you’ll be getting a whole lotta "hold these supply points," "rescue these two POWs," or "collect these loot crates before you get nemacyst'd in the face." Rinse and rep

When players start an XCOM game they only have a handful of fresh soldiers who feel unprepared for the mission ahead of them. As a player progresses through the game it seems like every advance in technology or newly available resource is countered by some new weapon in the alien’s arse

Perhaps best of all, however, is the cosmetics selection. Equipment and appearances (limited on certain heroes) are each highly-customizable, more so than I expected from a turn-based strategy game – and without any microtransactions in sight! Almost immediately, I turned Sid Redburn into Uncle

This serves to give players the feeling of always being one step behind their enemy; which helps heighten the tension. Gears Tactics starts the player with a group of soldiers that can seemingly dispatch hordes of alien soldiers with e

It could also be part of Microsoft’s free upgrade program, allowing players to buy a game for the Xbox One, and get a free upgrade to the Series X version when the console comes out. But right now, Microsoft doesn’t want to hamper sales of the PC version, so they’re not making that fact very well kn

While playing it on a gaming computer, the game runs smoothly as possible, but few glitches and bugs can be commonly seen while gaming. The gamers and developers always try their best to bring out the best version of the game, and minor issues like we hope we will be fixed s

Unfortunately, this is where Tactics becomes a bit dull. The recruiting system and side characters are mostly forgettable. The tactical variety isn’t the largest either, leaving the player with a handful of options. It isn’t dry by any means, yet after the first 15 hours of the roughly 25-hour campaign, you essentially get the gist of it. This would’ve been negligible in the wake of diverse mission designs, but sadly – this isn’t the c

The game has different levels and adventure mods that make it interesting. In the Dark areas of Gear Tactics , it is hard to detect the is and movement of enemies, also detecting them seems like a tough thing to

Gear Tactics is one of the best strategy based game we've played in a while. From its mind-blowing gameplay to different mods and adventures, Gear Tactics have everything if you're looking for an adventure monster-killing game. In this article, here are the top 5 things we love about Gear Tactics and 5 that we don't! Scroll down the list to know what are t

If anyone is used to playing XCOM or Darkest Dungeon or any other tactical RPG , it may seem vital to heal the downed soldiers as soon as possible in battle, lest they develop some permanent negative trait. That’s not the case in Gears Tactics tho

When it comes to tactical options on the battlefield, Gears Tactics is better than XCOM 2 . Both use the AP (action point) system. Soldiers basically have a set number of action points with which to perform actions. Moving a set distance, using a weapon, or activating a special ability typically cost one AP. Sometimes there are restrictions, like not being able to fire a heavy weapon after moving. Gears Tactics gives each soldier three APs, as opposed to XCOM ’s two. The overwatch action is also much, much better in Gears Tacti
