Want to kick a ticker down an Emergence hole, take a shot, and saw a Locust in half? Go right ahead. This is also an extremely aggressive title, the availability of three action points as a base is the first indication, letting your squad of four move, shoot, and use any ability in any order with complete freedom. All units can move anywhere they want within their turn, though sticking to cover will save you from a lot of headaches (the bullet inflicted kind). Let us get the biggest departures from the norm out of the way. Read about my complete thoughts on the game below. I have now had a couple of weeks to go through the game and see what it has to offer, and what I experienced was a rare tactics game that didn’t make me roadie run back to XCOM. Gears Tactics is developed by Splash Damage and the current Gears franchise developer The Coalition.
Turn-based strategy games are not exactly rare in the gaming space, but XCOM has always been a monolith in the genre that sits head and shoulders above the rest. The Gears of War franchise's cover-based gameplay, tough enemies, and squad-based combat sounded like a match made in heaven for a genre jump like this, but could it appeal to fans of the original action formula? Now, almost two years later, I got my hands on the title to find out if it can live up to my expectations and answer that question. Still, the XCOM fan in me and the similarities to the Firaxis series Gears Tactics displayed made me cautiously look forward to the game. One that was quickly delivered while nestled between a full-fledged Gears sequel and a mobile game unveiling, nobody expected to see a PC strategy game on stage. The announcement of Gears Tactics during the Xbox 2018 E3 show was a surprising one.
