Gears Tactics features a story that feels like it could have come from the mainline series with full cutscenes and cohesive dialogue. Yet, outside of battle, it definitely feels like the machine is missing a cog or two. Your squad will take on hordes of enemies at once, cutting them down in hail storms of gunfire and running up close for brutal executions. Keeping in spirit with the third-person shooting series that inspired it, Gears Tactics feels fast. Despite appearances, Gears Tactics is no mere X-COM clone. That fact is both one of the game’s biggest strengths and weakest links. You can find a video version of this review here on my YouTube Channelĭespite the resemblance, Gears Tactics is not a mere reskin of X-COM, and they have a lot less in common than you might initially think. It’s incredibly fascinating to take an existing game and watch all of its mechanics translate into a tactical turn-based version of itself. Halo, Death Stranding, The Elder Scrolls, all of it. Gears Tactics convinced me that pretty much every videogame IP should get the X-COM treatment.
