To fight a group of enemies, the boom shot is the weapon that will help you in the time of need. The damage rate of the weapon is high, that gives you some time to heal and recover. It’s always important to keep reloading the gun to prepare for the massive explosion. In case of fighting with a group of monsters, Supreme loot rewards Boomshot is the right weapon to cho

XCOM has more than a little tension since players have to make the most of their few turns, which often has drastic effects. If one makes a wrong move, it could come at the cost of a character they have spent hours upgrading. But with Gears Tactics , the tension is hardly there since the players’ soldiers get an extra action per turn when one of them performs an execution. The weapons in Gears Tactics are also powerful—especially those overpowered sniper rifles—so the soldiers are unlikely to

Gears Tactics is an ambitious spinoff that doesn’t necessarily innovate, but it does succeed in taking the turn-based strategy genre head-on. The game’s presentation is quality, reflecting classic, core Gears elements. Although the gameplay flattens out by forcing repetitive mission types – extensive customization, immersive storytelling, and overall polish earns Splash Damage and The Coalition a tip of the

Similarly, the way the game handles downtime time is a bit uninspiring when compared to more established tactics series like XCOM . Though your team spends a lot of time in motion traveling in convoys, there is no time to evolve or grow. Instead, a player will spend time aligning units and personalizing favorite charact

Messing around with customization between missions sucked up way too much of my time – and that’s not particularly a bad thing. The equipment menus could’ve been redesigned for more convenient loadout swaps, sure, but the high volume of tweakables was pleasantly surpris

Also, some of the achievement names are very amusing. The whole list can be found here , but one of the best is named "Aw man, I shot Marvin in the face," which is to down a Gear with friendly fire. Also, difficult ones that require players to beat a mission on insane difficulty with a single soldier can be fun to go af

Gears Tactics makes ironman harder because, if a hero dies, the playthrough ends. It requires a lot of patience and knowledge of the game, because failure to keep a hero alive will force players to restart complet

A standard in the customization of soldiers for turn-based strategy games, each class has a skill tree that can be upgraded to allow them all to do different things. In Gears Tactics, the skills fall into four different subclasses for each cl

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

All of the soldiers that the player recruits are fully customized, even to their name. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. The player can customize them and make them soldiers they can actually care about. And it helps that the customization options are v

The title's general fast pace comes with a significant flaw that waters down the gaming experience. It is impossible to speed up or skip enemy turns, whereas other similar games like Fire Emblem and XCOM have this feat

While the term Knight might conjure up chivalry or grace, the ones in Divinity Original Sin 2 are much more brute shock troops. They will prioritize a large heavy or long-reaching weapon, a bit of armor, and nothing much else. A first-level Knight probably won’t have any form of magic. But, one can work towards more combat-focused schools like death spells or metamorphosis at high levels. Still, the Knight’s role is to charge into the thick of battle, chop up enemies, and withstand enough damage to keep go

For killing the enemy instantly, Sniper is one of the best options. With an additional scope, you can fire as long as you want, killing enemies from as far as you can. Sniper kills the monsters and enemies in just one shot in the head. Always make sure to keep extra ammo so you don’t have to worry about running out of them in the time of n

When making a level 1 Knight, players will first need to decide if they will be Strength or Finesse based. Strength weapons like two-handed swords and axes are more common, but the few rare spears have added range, making them great for wider area attacks. It also determines which type of armor is worn: heavy plate that offers amazing physical armor, but power magical armor; or leather gear that balances the two armor ty
