The player can spend tokens to reset those skill points if they don’t like how a soldier is specced. Or, they can just dismiss the soldier outright to save the reset tokens and open up a recruitment s

Currently, Gears Tactics is exclusive to the PC. But if gamers don’t have a computer powerful enough to run the game well, fret not, for a console version is coming this year . The game will come to Xbox One, but it will presumably also come out on the Xbox Series

The Sprint skill help the scout to cover a large area in a small period by using a simple action key. Some skills like Assassination and Demolition Experts are must use, as they are the specialized branches that are available in the g

Though it's certainly a breath of fresh air for the third-person shooter Gears of War series, in terms of turn-based tactics, Gears Tactics doesn't innovate. While it may be a neat diversion for those who don't have much experience with the genre, it really doesn't break much ground, and it would have bee nice to see a more unique take on these newly top-down gameplay scenar

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, it compromises the otherwise vibrant and tactical g

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

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

The Support class feature helps in making a badass character in Gear Tactics . The Gaba Diaz is the default support unit from the beginning of the game. Further, the players can invest their points in different branches and class abilities to increase the performance rate of their sq

Here’s a fun fact: thanks to the random soldiers in the recruitment pool having no points assigned to them, and the extensive customization options, players can sort of clone soldiers you’ve lost in battle. Just grab a new recruit, customize their looks so they look like the fallen soldier, and start assigning them skill points that mirror the fallen sold

Speaking of bullet penetration, keep in mind it’s a double-edged sword. Grenades can damage friendly units if they’re too close to the point of impact, but so can every other attack, a fact players might learn the hard way if you have a unit on overwatch and they hit one of your soldiers who’s behind a moving en

Gears Tactics is a great game, but it’s a complicated one, and there are a lot of things in there that even fans don’t know about. So to help new players and old ones alike, here’s our list of the 10 things everyone completely missed in Gears Tacti

Two-handed weapons work a bit differently than other attacks in the game: there is a greater emphasis on criticals as the Two-Handed combat skills increases the critical damage multiplier. This means one will want to aim for Strength/Finesse to Wits at around a Baldur's Gate 3 comparison:1 ratio. Constitution is rather unhelpful; leave it at 10 unless there is a surplus of points at higher levels. Take Memory only when there is a desperate need for more skill slots, likely when arriving at Reaper’s Co

Gears Tactics is the latest game in the Gears (or Gears of War , as boomers may call it) franchise. A radical departure for the third-person shooter series, Gears Tactics is instead a tactical, turn-based RPG similar to XCOM or the recently released John Wick Hex . So far, it’s also only available on PC, not the Xbox

XCOM wins this category easily – mainly because Gears Tactics doesn’t feature a base building aspect. Anyone who has played the rebooted XCOM series, then started playing Gears Tactics will immediately notice the lack of a base building game-mechanic. The base building in XCOM adds a secondary strategic layer to the game. Players need to add new rooms to their base in advance of needs, and the rooms help increase the effectiveness of XCOM soldiers and staff. It will probably not surprise gamers if future Gears Tactics games include a base building aspect – it will probably be expec

Combat ability-wise, Warfare should be taken first to boost Physical damage by a multiplicative amount. Two-Handed will be next as it grants additive damage (of all elements), and as previously mentioned also boosts the critical multiplier. Once those are maxed, consider putting a few points into Scoundrel for even more critical damage, Polymorph for more stat points, and Perseverance to restore ar
