Review: Gears Tactics

As compared to the other Mark weaponry, the Lancer GL Rifle comes with great damage capacity and output rate. The rifle has a higher firing rate, reloading speed, and killing speed. This weapon offers the user a real kill rate with fewer efforts as it kills faster, and covers a large area, so you can kill as many enemies as possible at the same t

The weaponry comes with a new update, the flashlight that is attached in this weapon makes it easy to use in dark places. The Mark 2 Rifle has a high killing speed and reloading time as compared to other Mark Weaponry in Gear Tact

It's probably not the best Gears of war game campaign turn-based squad tactics game ever nor the best Gears of War title out there, but Gears Tactics is an impressively solid adaptation of the beloved Xbox franchise, proving that The Coalition is capable of bringing out the best in the couch co-op classic while continuing to take risks. Although its pacing leaves something to be desired and it borrows as many genre ills as it does strengths, Gears Tactics is mechanically and thematically engaging from the start of its long campaign to its end, and it does its inspirations justice. It isn't far from inaccessible to newcomers while also taking care to pay respect to veterans of the franchise and other squad tactics games, and fans of both will be absolutely enamored with Gears Tacti


As for actual Gears Tactics gameplay, it's fun and punchy Gears of War fare from an all-new top-down perspective, but players well-versed in squad tactics will find it doesn't offer much in the way of anything groundbreaking beneath its well-executed franchise veneer. Combat is the name of the game, bundled into the expected disparate mission and level format, and it's all mostly genre standard stuff. Story and side missions will variously task players' squad of up to four Gears with moving from point A to B (and often back to A) in hostile Locust territory, clearing areas of enemies, rescuing imprisoned COG soldiers, defending control points, and m


Overwatch allows players to stay behind cover and hold angles while still opening themselves up to the opportunity to kill enemy units. However, friendly fire is turned on in Tactics , so if a friendly unit moves into the player's overwatch area they are susceptible to taking damage and possibly being kil


A lot is borrowed in Gears Tactics , but that's not a bad thing by any stretch of the mind. Five classes, Support, Vanguard, Heavy, Scout, Sniper, provide a wealth of tactical options and synergy opportunities against a sometimes insurmountable foe, and it feels like XCOM with a few gritty Gears of War twists. Cover is the basis of the mainline series, and that's equally true in this ambitious spinoff , with some added destructibility of certain weaker objects like boxes and sandbags. It may offer few innovations, but those that it does are thanks to is unique source material. Locust Drones can be downed and revived just like friendlies, emergence holes not cleared out with grenades spawn more grubs, and the game's one of the most mindful of its 3D environments in the genre, especially regarding obstructions and vertical

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


Overall, it leaves the campaign feeling about two-thirds baked. Adding in more mission variety (or even trimming the side mission fat) to minimize repetition would undoubtedly solve attention-loss issues towards the ending stre


Although the somewhat contrived story is a convenient excuse to bring Gears of War to the well-fitting tactics genre, squad progression and incredibly generous customization will keep most players engaged for the long haul. The Convoy is the mission hub and unit barracks, where players recruit, upgrade, and personalize their Gears. As in similar titles, Gears Tactics allows players to rename units (just not the special hero characters that drive the story), outfit them with stat-adjusting armor pieces and weapon parts collected from battlefield Supply Cases, and specialize each of them into numerous subclasses using skill points. Unlike other modern games, however, it offers robust color, texture, and pattern customization options for almost everything a Gear carries or wears, and it doesn't charge a dime for even the coolest opti


Performance issues are not uncommon in high-octane games, and Gears Tactics is not an exception. Although the game is highly optimized, some players experience stuttering and the infamous GT102 error code problems. The error issues are mainly related to the player's graphics card. It appears when the card fails to l

Other than a brief foray into the Pop! figure world, Gears of War has always been a third-person cover shooter. Across all six entries so far, players have come to expect Gears games to play a certain way. Slide into cover, pop up and blast the grubs. Despite this, Gears is a franchise with tons of potential in different genres, which is something Splash Damage hopes to take advantage of with Gears Tactics. Embracing the turned-based strategy genre, Splash Damage has created a new type of Gears game that aims to blend this genre with the franchise’s roots. Is Gear Tactics another excellent addition to the franchise or does it need more time at boot camp?
