There are five classes support, vanguard, sniper, heavy and scout with their respective weapons and a skill tree for each that branches off into four different paths. In Gears Tactics, you get action points for each character, usually up to three, and you’re able to do any action you want with those three points such as moving, shooting, throwing grenades or using abilities you acquire by levelling up. Fans of X-COM will immediately know what they are doing as soon as they boot up Gears Tactics, but even if you’re just a Gears of War fan, this is much easier to pick up than other turn-based shooters.

Gears Tactics takes all that and essentially puts a Gears of War skin on it with the abilities, characters, visuals and sound design beaming with that Gears of War flair you know and love. It’s always been the third-person, gore-heavy, cover-based shooter that fans adore, but now The Coalition and Splash Damage have taken all that and applied it to the X-COM formula with Gears Tactics.įor those who aren’t familiar with X-COM, it’s a turn-based tactical shooter where you control each character’s movements/actions to take out the enemies as swiftly and precisely as you can. The Gears of War series has had a few improvements over the years since the first game launched in 2006, but the core gameplay mechanics have stayed relatively the same.
