Gears Tactics

Great game for people who love the tactical style games like XCOM, Mutant new Yea and other games alike. Turn based games like this are what make these types of games enjoyable

totaly stupid that you have to make an xbox live account to actually play it....

Very challenging, but really decent strategy game with great satisfaction as you increase your characters levels.

I think a huge part of this kind of games is the squad management and attachment, which this game ruins by giving you higher level recruits every mission, I got my squad cool armor, names and stuff, then I make sure they don't die of course. I finish the mission and the game gives me 4 more soldiers, all with better equipment and level, and the game keeps doing it every mission, whats the point?

I enjoyed this game a lot. There's a really nice flow to how everything works on the tactical level. The game looks great but honestly that ends the parts of the game I actually like. The story is a real snoozer, I have played every other Gears of War game and I've even read all the books but the story here is clearly not the main focus. I've forgotten pretty much every character in the game. My main actual problem with the game is the complete lack of any strategy layer to the game. One of the most engaging aspects of any game like this is the strategy of building a base or something like that and all that there is just picking a mission, of which there's only like four types, and that's it. I do like the game I just wish there was some more depth. Still feels pretty good to just spam grenades though can't even lie.

This is a GREAT game Bit too easy but this type of game is needed...Mechanicus dropped the ball and Gears Tactics picks it up, but also picks up the torch, too. However, repetitive missions and too little emphasis on deathmatch missions make the game boring. The game also artificially brings up difficulty by swarming enemy units on you, ramping up health, and ramping up damage...These games are supposed to be about calculation instead, not RNG and brute force. 8/10

a perfect asset flip. It's turn-based gears of war. it looks like GoW. It sounds like GoW. It has all the troupe, camp, machismo, and over-the-top gore you'd expect from GoW. Done very well. The story is simple. there are 8-10 main missions spread across 8 chapters, and between each main story mission you select 2-3 side missions from a selection screen. Each side mission is done in tandom for that chapter, meaning that you can't send the same team out for two mission on the same chapter. Some side missions are aquiring gear, some are acquiring personel, and some are culling the locast's assets. As you build your camp with more recruits, you arm them with better gear you find out on missions. You earn XP for each soldier that atrribute to 5 main classes that are defined by weapons type: Support: Chainsaw Rifle Vanguard: Bayonet Rifle Scout: Shotgun Heavy: Chaingun AR Sniper: Long bolt action Rifle Each main class has 4 sub-classes that branch out in a skill tree. You can make your soldiers specialize in a specific subclass or be a jack of all trades, but master of none. It isn't a new paradigm. It isn't ground breaking. But it is a decent trun based tactical shooter in the GoW universe. Buy it on sale you won't be disappointed.
