Gears Tactics Review

The Lancer GL Assault Rifle is another one of the best weapons that Gear Tactics added in its inventory replacing the Mark 3 Lancer Assault Rifle. The Rifle is developed at the start of the Gea r Tactics , making it's one of the most used weapons in the g


The first act of Gears Tactics will be very compelling for fans of the franchise. Not only does it give them a chance to meet Gabe Diaz, and therefore learn a bit more about Kait's history, but it also shines more light on the origins of the Locust creatures. There are some pretty interesting twists and turns, and the story of each mission bleeds into the next in a way that gives it a lot of momentum. And while Gabe and Sid aren't exactly the most complex or deep characters, they're a nice change of pace from games constantly revolving around Marcus Fe


If there is one aspect of Gears Tactics that is obviously better than the XCOM games, it’s the boss battles. XCOM doesn’t really have boss battles; there is a final engagement against stronger enemies than those normally encountered, but that’s not really a "boss battle". Occasionally, players in Gears Tactics will find themselves facing an enormous creature that towers over the battlefield. Defeating these gigantic boss creatures gives players an immediate sense of accomplishment that is sometimes lacking in the XCOM games. These boss battles also really help break up the monotony of fighting the same alien soldiers over and over – which is a problem from which the XCOM games suffer on occas


Gears Tactics proves that there's a lot more that can be done with the Gears of War IP besides just third-person shooters. The SLG game updates has some pacing issues and some repetitive missions, but it's otherwise a very engaging turn-based strategy game that should please both fans of the genre and Gears of War enthusiasts al


The fast-paced and highly aggressive game is sturdy enough to keep fans glued in for a while, especially with the tweaks to elements like over-watch and action usage will tickle strategy lovers. Unfortunately, this is where the good ends! Yes, it is undoubtedly an enjoyable game, but some glaring flaws prevent it from scaling the heights of the gaming wo


The Dropshot Munitions Launcher is a high level classified weapon that kills in a straight line using a drill or a mine. The use of this weapon is very simple; as long as the trigger is pressed, the machine will spin downwards directly and will drill throughout the enemy. The Dropshot is a modified mining tool that kills everything that comes in its p


When it comes to tactical options on the battlefield, Gears Tactics is better than XCOM 2 . Both use the AP (action point) system. Soldiers basically have a set number of action points with which to perform actions. Moving a set distance, using a weapon, or activating a special ability typically cost one AP. Sometimes there are restrictions, like not being able to fire a heavy weapon after moving. Gears Tactics gives each soldier three APs, as opposed to XCOM ’s two. The overwatch action is also much, much better in Gears Tacti


Similarly, the way the game handles downtime time is a bit uninspiring when compared to more established tactics series like XCOM . Though your team spends a lot of time in motion traveling in convoys, there is no time to evolve or grow. Instead, a player will spend time aligning units and personalizing favorite charact

The Launcher needs some upgrades with time but the capacity and the kill ranger is something that you will need to defeat the enemy on the higher levels. The Launcher will kill the target from a safe distance. The Weapon also provides you the time to heal yourself and keep your team one step ahead of the en


The Railgun needs to be charged before firing and hence it's important to fill the gun with enough ammo beforehand. The gun doesn't have a feature to use a long-range scope and can not be charged at multiple targets at the same time, therefore the best use of the gun is for killing enemies in a short-range. With this short gun on hand, the player can beat the enemies with its fast killing sp


Since the playable characters in Gears Tactics are constantly becoming stronger, the game has to do a couple of things to stay challenging. For one, there are many missions that restrict who can be used, and when players are doing side missions, they can only use each character in a mission once until the main story advances. This forces players to use some of their lower-leveled soldiers instead of their most powerful allies. Secondly, Gears Tactics is always adding new enemies to the mix that will make players change up their combat strateg


It would behoove players to line their soldiers up so they’re in a position to take advantage of enemies getting too close together. Yes, heavies can lay down impressive fire, but a basic Lancer soldier can also take out multiple enemies if players are playing strategically. It’s only useful (or possible) in rare circumstances, but it could be the deciding factor in a close fi
