    A good solid game that does more right than it does wrong. I just wish MS can put in more effort into their games. It sometimes feel like they are not aiming for greatness and just sort of good enough levels...    … Expand

    Gears of War works perfectly in a turn based format. The Xcom-like gameplay is really well thought out, utilizing everything that makes Gears of War unique; the setting and atmosphere, the range of enemies as well as weaponry and executions. Unfortunately, the game is let down with some dry characters and narrative. Part of what made the original trilogy great was the foursome squad andGears of War works perfectly in a turn based format.

Unfortunately, the game is let down with some dry characters and narrative. Part of what made the original trilogy great was the foursome squad and their interaction with each other. While this isn't essential in a turn based Xcom-like, it's highlighted by the lack of character customization. Out-of-combat gameplay (base building, mission choice, etc.) would have also added to the fantastic base gameplay of Gears Tactics. If you can look past those points however, the game is an absolute steal on Gamepass.… Expand

    As someone who has put a lot of time into Xcom and Xcom 2, I was excited for a new take on that style of turn based shooting genre. While Tactics adds a lot of quality of life changes some Xcom players may enjoy seeing (such as multiple shots on overwatch, cool-downs on things like grenades, etc), this is kind of like a pretty but very dumbed down version of Xcom.

While Tactics adds a lot of quality of life changes some Xcom players may enjoy seeing (such as multiple shots on overwatch, cool-downs on things like grenades, etc), this is kind of like a pretty but very dumbed down version of Xcom.

    Pros:
    -Graphics
    -Innovative changes to existing mechanics like overwatch and consumables
    -Very well optimized- I've encountered very few bugs while playing
    -A 90% chance actually feels like a 90% chance to hit
    -A more risk-reward loot system for weapon mods rather than sheer luck

    Cons:
    -Mediocre story
    -Grindy, repetitive missions and lack of variation on enemies
    -Very simple (to a fault) customization system, and lack of variation
    -No between mission content: games is purely about Main missions and side missions; you get a big ass mobile transport in the beginning and it is never revisited.

    The game isn't explicitly terrible, but my initial thoughts ranged initially from disappointment to frustration as I found the game just wasn't worth all the frustration I had with it. I saw a review on here where someone basically called it a mobile game, and that's pretty close. Take Xcom, give it some streamlined changes, and make it more grindy and more focused on the action and less on the story. Do that, and you pretty much have gears tactics. At LEAST wait for it to go one sale- this is not a $60 USD game by any stretch.    … Expand

    Competent squad tactics game. 7/10, not essential. Play if you're a huge fan of the genre or Gears.

    Pro:
    -Fun overwatch and one-hit-kill mechanics

    Neutral:
    -Unit customization
    -Environments/maps

    Cons:
    -Atmosphere
    -Drama/Narrative
    -Repetitive, meaningless missions

    Between Crackdown 3, Gears 5, and this -- XBox has become a second tier game developer. I hope they farmed out Halo:Infinite -- No one wants to see that franchise fall to the current depths of the Gears of War IP, mediocrity.

    Ultimately just an OK addition to a genre that doesn't get a ton of love from AAA studios. It's got some good features, but unfortunately it does nearly everything a little worse than XCOM.

    -Varied and interesting character design options
    -Perk-based armor customization

    The bad:
    -No base-building mechanic
    -Without base-building, important NPC's are forced to be combat NPC's
    -Important NPC's in-combat add additional insta-loss conditions
    -Fiddling with gear required when you shuffle your crew, and you're required to shuffle your crew somewhat frequently (X-COM also has this issue)
    -Story-based missions reduce the variety of combat *a lot* - I didn't realize how important it was that X-COM randomly generates the majority of it's missions, just "samey" and literally identical really are different.

    This is nothing really like X-Com. Moreover, it is way worse than Phoenix Point (you read it right).

    It is a decent game, but absolutely mediocre, and adds literally nothing to the genre.

    It is a decent game, but absolutely mediocre, and adds literally nothing to the genre.

    Developers keep making the mistake over and over than their "realistic" graphic consist of shades of brown and gray, and here you are, you can't catch the enemy from isometric view on a 32'' monitor. It is also absolutely boring to watch.

    Games should not be too realistic, but GAMES! Why do you think the people still playing with old-school games like Doom?

    Enemies are also completely mediocre and totally similar to each other, as if the similar color schemes weren't enough.

    It is just simply boring.

    I recently finished Fort Triumph, which I enjoyed a lot more than this, despite that that game is definitely for the younger generations.

    The game also has an idiotic checkpoint system with no save option, which can make you to loose a hard-core, eight turn progress anytime. This is clearly a refund-trigger.

    The game also has an idiotic, mobile-like menu system, which is completely unintuitive.

    There is no base-management part. You just go one mission after another. This would be not a problem if the missions had been not completely repetitive.

    Don't buy those 10 point reviews, they are all scams.

    For comparison: X-Com 2 8/10, Phoenix Point 7/10, Fort Triumph 6/10.

    I keep playing it, so I might update my review, later.

    UPDATE: so you have three types of basic missions: sabotage (destroy a canister), supply run, and rescue people, and these three missions are repeating over and over. After you finish each multiple times, you get a story mission, which is sometimes an overwhelmingly hard boss fight.

    This "content" totally can be considered as an unfinished game. Seriously, the Phoenix Point is a 20 times more professional game with 50 times more content. The only advantage of this game is the "better" graphics, better animations, and a somewhat more sophisticated overwatch system. But there is really nothing else besides these.

    By the way, about overwatch: you can win most of the missions by simply barricading yourself and set up a killzone, and watch how the reptilians run into it one by one, then, you can hunt the rest who had more intelligence to not do it.

    The main characters are more or less useless, and you have to chose them for finishing main missions. On the other hand, the 'scout'-class is way better than the rest combined. They have a powerful shotgun, ability to shot twice in a row, they have a predator/crysis cloak, and many great abilities. You can pick two of them in each mission, and you simply cannot loose, not even on hard difficulty.

    The problem of course, that you can't bring them with you to boss fights, which makes them a lot harder than it should be.

    Did I mention that if you want to exit from the desktop during missions (mostly out of frustration or boredom), the game either saves the actual progress, even if you about to loose the battle, or make you to completely abandon the mission and start over the whole thing? I mean, there is NO option to exit without save. So you have to be defeated, then restart the checkpoint where you still have a chance, and THEN exit to the desktop.

    Are you calling this as game-"design"? And just imagine that these useless, drone programmers get terrible amount of money for doing this absolutely amateurish job, which never happened even in the beginning of the computer games-era (I was there).

    It is a 3.5 point game, but I give it a zero, to balance the brutally lying, paid reviews. "X-Com on steroids"? Are you totally retarder or WTF??? That's not game journalism, that's lies, lies, lies!

    Buy ONLY if you REALLY starving for a minimal, smartphone-like X-Com experience.    … Expand

Why should we tolerate that an AAA studio releases a game in such a poor state that large portion of playerbase literally cannot play it because of developing decisions or poor testing? You are AAA producer. Do your homeowork. And this is not as if Gears Tactics is an inovative game using new technology. You are literally comming in the footsteps of years old games like X-COM. Why you cannot do your due dilligence and ship a product that is actually working?

    Excelente juego, es de mis favoritos (hasta ahora) del genero junto a XCOM aunque tiene muchas cosas de él, tiene esa esencia Gears que le hacia falta a la franquicia.
    Recomendadisimo totalmente si te gusta este tipo de jeugos.

    Visually this is stunning, loving the detail of the art and general change in scenery this game has. While it lacks some of features when compared to others in the genre i feel this makes up for it in abundance with amusing VO /character interaction and really intense clutch moments. Best in Genre on a technical level for sure.

    One of the worst "x-com" like games I've had the pleasure of playing.
    Every single aspect of this game besides the graphics is simply mediocre and/or bland.
    The only upside to this game is the Microsoft is more or less giving it away through game pass.

    Cut Scenes and Story is great and actually quite lengthy so I can definitley recommend this game!

Well done

    The sound is exactly what they used in Gears 5. Great sound all around. Great mixture of highs and those bombastic lows the series is known for. the voice acting is also fine. Not great, not bad. Wont say much else on the sound

    The story was surprisingly good. I really didnt know what to expect here but it was a great story of a small band of gears and outsiders. I loved every second of it and the climax of the story was great! Also had a pretty satisfying conclusion as you finally meat Gabe up with Reyna. (Kait Diaz's parents)

    Overall the game was amazing. I really have almost zero complaints. The difficulty was perfect and anytime I failed a mission I felt iike it was my fault and I shouldve taken a different approach. The boss battles are BRUTAL and you will die. But its a part of the learning process and when you finally take the bosses down its soooooo satisfying.

    No game is perfect so this is an easy 9/10 for me. If you are even slightly interested, go get this game!    … Expand

    First off I will say the game is very well-made, it has butter smooth performance, the visuals are stunning and the audio is solid. The gameplay flows well with incredible animations and crisp transitions, something which is often not the case in this genre. I also love the 3 AP system where you can do any action in any order without ending your turn.

    For the first couple of hours I was hooked, but then the problems arise. The main one being the complete lack of mission types, you end up doing the same missions over and over again, with no variety at all. There’s also little to no map variety so every mission feels the same. This is made worse by the fact you’re forced to do multiple side missions to continue the story, and they’re all the same, often with unfun rules or restrictions. If they made these side missions optional it would help massively. I cannot stress enough how boring the game gets by chapter 2, and especially chapter 3.

    Other than the repetitiveness, the other major issue is customization which is completely lacking, made worse by a confusing UI. There’s very little you can do to make your units stand out, and you can’t edit the heroes at all. Changing the colour of their armour is about as far as you’re going to get. There’s also no base building elements or overarching objective à la XCOM.

    Overall Gears Tactics is a great base of a game, just not a complete one. It’s very much possible that they could improve the game massively with patches but it’s more likely we’ll need to wait for a sequel to unlock the full potential of the series.    … Expand

    Game has a TON of potential, if they can make some improvements I could see a sequel being very good, but as it stands, this game is average compared to the likes of XCOM.

    The good: - Graphics are the best of any tactics game ever made. - Level design is pretty good. - Story is quite good for a tactics game. - Well thought out skill tree for the soldier classes. - Mission    Game has a TON of potential, if they can make some improvements I could see a sequel being very good, but as it stands, this game is average compared to the likes of XCOM.

    The good:
    - Graphics are the best of any tactics game ever made.

    - Level design is pretty good.

    - Story is quite good for a tactics game.

    - Well thought out skill tree for the soldier classes.

    - Mission gameplay has some cool innovations like action point system, boss fights, etc.

    The bad:
    - Game feels incomplete without a base building and/or upgrade strategy layer. Just running missions over and over and collecting weapon mods is not enough.

    - Difficultly is bad. Experienced is way too easy, and Insane is too frustrating to be fun (unless you enjoy getting 1 shot from across the map from a grenade launcher and having to restart a million times). You can do everything perfect and just get one shotted by these grenade dudes, which would be fine if this was aka XCOM crit, but it happens so often on missions where you instantly lose if your units die that it's simply not acceptable. What this means is that the only viable strategy in most Insane missions becomes "kill everything in one turn or re-load". XCOM2 had this very same issue in pre-expansion that they eventually had to improve with weapon balancing and enemy mechanics. And to add insult to injury, you can not only not quicksave, but when you re-load the game forces you to watch the same unskippable cutscenes over and over each time. Awesome.

    - Soldier experience gain is tuned very strangely, where you get a ton of absolute soldiers to recruit that almost always come in at... higher level than your own squad. It's almost like the game expects your soldiers to constantly die, and yet (in Insane difficulty) it's almost always impossible to succeed at a mission if a single soldier dies, which means in reality none of your soldiers can die due to having to constantly reload. So I guess you are suppose to constantly throw away your squad and replace them with the higher level soldiers? This is very unusual, IMO soldier XP should be increased.

    - Loot is not well designed. For some reason mission rewards give useless white and blue weapon mods that you get for free when recruiting soldiers anyway. Also, what is the point of having items with +health, when virtually every single enemy 1 shots your soldiers regardless?

    - Loot is tedious to constantly swap your best weapon mods on your active soldiers every mission through a scrollble UI that was obviously built for consoles and not PC.

    - Cosmetic options are cool, but the way they unlock forces you go go into menus and check them every time.

    - In a post Fire Emblem Three Houses world, any tactics game without a built in save scumming mechanic is going to get called out, and this is no exception. You're going to reload if one of your units dies anyway (in many missions this is instant failure reload anyway), so why not just build the mechanic into the game?

    - Lack of modding support. In fact, the game does some kind of file check each time that even prevents you from modifying files at all. This is inexcusable. If I had known they did this BS ahead of time I prob would not have purchased game.    … Expand

    Very cool and fun game. The boss battles are great. I did enjoy the hit system better than x-com. It seemed way more fair and I rarely missed those 90% shots.

    The game would be better if it had a way to filter equipment as scrolling through it is a pain when equipping each gear. Mission variety needs improving too.

    There are some balancing issues in this game which feel like oversights that could've been easily improved upon. Healing is pathetically weak in the beginning, overwatch is a pretty broken mechanic for fighting off overwhelming numbers, and several frontline classes feel underwhelming compared to others. Secondary mission objectives tend to be unforgivably difficult and give mediocre rewards, making them an unnecessary effort in most cases. The bosses are insanely difficult and ten times harder than standard missions, which is just not fun.

    The reason why I gave Gears Tactics an 8 is mainly because of how it gets repetitive as you progress deeper into the game, and how the bosses are just plain torture, particularly the final one. The first act drags on a bit and doesn't engage you all that much, but that improves from the second act onward. The variety in map objectives, intelligent AI, and team composition system are all praiseworthy. If you were to rent this game with the Xbox Game Pass, then it's probably a 9 or a 10 from sheer value. But at retail price, an 8 is all it deserves.

    For people without a decent rig: This game isn't optimized and eats up CPU for breakfast, so watch your temperatures in case they get too high. Also, if you don't have a recent GPU driver installed, this game can overheat your GPU and crash the game, so be sure to update your driver as well.    … Expand

    - Movement and covers. Units are able to move in a radius of a circle (on the plain terrain). And covers are not some square-placed blocks, they feel real, normal game design. I don't think I can come back ever again to 'rectangle movement' of X-COM.
    - AI. It doesn't feel stupid. Most of the times.
    - Endgame support from day 0.
    - Overall battle mechanics.

    Some neutral things:
    - Universe. I am not a Gears fan. I'm a PC gamer and well there's Gears 1 available on PC, and other parts of trilogy are X360 exclusives. And there are Gears 4 and 5, that are by critics are worse than original trilogy. Couldn't care less. And, as I understand, well Gears Tactics' timeline is a prequel to original trilogy sequels, parts 4 and 5. Well, now, really, I couldn't care less. And its' setting…It makes me uncomfortable. It's some diesel-punk but with advanced computers and satellites and gene-engineering. And sling-grenades. Also, story takes place not on Earth but on another planet. But with humans. And all men looks like bodybuilders. Women not. It's really strange for an outsider.
    - It's a plot-driven game, not a X-COM-esque. So you don't choose where to go. Who is taking lead in your squad. I find that kind of critic misplaced. You've agreed to plot-driven game, why are you complaining about it now?

    And some bad things:
    - Scout class unit is bad in the beginning of the game. Shotgun sucks. For enemies too. But later in the game, when you can recruit leveled-up scout and have some nice mods for shotgun to improve precision and gear for extra bullets/reload/quicker cooldown, this class is good as any.
    - Boxes mechanics. No, not lootboxes. There boxes scattered across the battlefield and if your soldier pickups it during combat, after it you'll be able to open it and receive a random reward. "Coolness" of reward depends on a box type, usual, rare, epic, legendary (given only as reward for fulfilling special mission conditions). And most of the time it doesn't make sense.
    - Loot mechanics. Well, it's not a X-COM-esque and it is a prequel, so laser lancer, power armor with jets and staff like that is completely out of the question. But when customization means just some little tweaks like +7% to hit chance, +1 ammo in a mag and boots with +15 hp (health point here counts in hundreds at least, so it's really, really nothing) it's lame.
    - Heroes and soldiers. There are plot heroes, that appear voiced-over (btw, voice-over is rather solid) in cut-scenes. And there are some squad members that are generic and generated. And in this game you don't take a level-one recruit and level-up him/her straight to the final battle. New recruits almost always appear after a new mission and are leveled-up with some cool gear (for example, you can get a better version of sidearm only by recruiting). I don't mind leveled-upped recruits, especially in a plot-driven game, but they progress way too fast.
    - No base-building. Well, again it's not a X-COM-esque and is plot-driven, but for example Mass Effect 2 is a plot-driven game, but how and if at all you upgrade your ship directly influence an ending of the game. Here we have an APC and mobile base, yet they do and serve nothing except in a cut-scenes and in and out extraction mission points. And we do move across the world map, but it's happening out of the scene. So it could've been so much more…And could give your some rest between look-alike missions (problem for all without exception TBS).
    - Side-Missions feels out of place. Structurally, game is divided for 3 Acts, with 6-8 Chapters in each. And some chapters have side mission, from 2 to 4 available, and you can take n-1, i.e. 1/2/3. They ARE obligatory. One hero/soldier can go only on one side-mission during this very chapter, because it's happening simultaneously. They do provide some challenge, but it's more like an unnecessary taste of endgame during in-game. And really limited to several types (four, if I am not mistaken).

    Having this said, I would like really to recommend this game to all TBS fans. It feels like a turn-based shooter, not a strategy, but feeling is great. 7+1/10. One extra point for first try at making so many things right and bringing some cool new stuff into the genre.    … Expand

    Its a more accessible, easy and forgiving XCOM, in a Gears reskin, which i in general really like! Unfortunately after the first Chapter you will notice an increasing repetitivity, due to that you are forced to do sidemissions with not much variety.

    The game had great potential. The universe of gears is quite interesting. In technical terms, the creators did not disappoint, but in terms of the structure of the campaign itself, as if they did not bring it to mind.

    The game was somewhat shorter than I would have liked but it was an incredibly well made game. If you like X-Com style games you'll love it. The abilities and skill trees were great, the enemies were incredibly fun and the game engine was top notch. Practically no bugs either. Above all I love their overwatch mechanic.

    Tactics does some justice to the wider Gears universe but the characters are limited and the cutscenes look good but do nothing interesting. The tactical gameplay looks very solid initially but after the first act, even if new abilities and equipment is added, the resulting depth is not really engaging.

The story is well done and will take you through the missions in an entertaining way. The cutscenes show themselves from their best side and the dialogues of the different characters provide further entertainment during the game. The controls and the gameplay provide a lot of fun and exciting moments. The different skills and possibilities let you search for hours for the best variant. The graphics and sound can be seen and heard over and over again. Unfortunately we are missing a multiplayer mode. Maybe there will be a variant later. Owners of the Xbox One must unfortunately still wait until the implementation comes.

    Bloody, brutal and visceral shooter franchise was given a tactics treatment – and the end result is surprisingly good. Gears Tactics is one of the best games in the genre this year. [Issue#246, p.36]

    Gears Tactics manages to blend the Gears of War series with a genre that was a home for such a different kind of gameplay beautifully, though its shortcomings are apparent.

    Gears is right at home in the Turn-based genre. A truly excellent tactical experience watered down slightly with mandatory side-quests and a lack of any strategic dimension.
