You’ll also unlock extra gear if you complete optional objectives or find them on the levels. Once it’s over you’ll upgrade your crew’s equipment and weapon using the parts found in chests for each level. You manage a squad of Cog muscly soldiers and play through a surprisingly enjoyable story campaign with each level being a clever arena to complete an objective. Sometimes when your soldiers fire the camera will zoom in so you can see the action as it happens. Each combat turn works with your units going through 4 action points and using skills and weapons until they’re spent then the enemy monsters do the same. Gears Tactics works a lot like XCOM: Enemy Unknown but with a lot less of the management faff. It really can be satisfying in a strategy game to have everything play out as you planned but is it worth giving Gears a go? Even as a player with zero interest in the lore and world? Unlike other strategy games, Gears Tactics is typically played from a higher view point and the more I played it the more I feel like I was moving miniatures around a board. The idea of a tactics game based on the franchise isn’t exactly what I expected to be my cup of tea at all. I should preface this review with a shocking revelation I have never liked Gears Of War ( a real game, about real men, about a real war, with real guns) Despite trying to play through every iteration both in co-op and solo, I’ve never found the combat or visuals all that enjoyable. I sat back, the credits scrolled by and all I wanted to do was jump back in for more. It screamed fast across the battlefield, the giant hulking monster let out a roar and exploded into a fountain of blood and toxic gas. Mikayla spun on her heels and faced the final monster, loaded up a final shot, “GIVING IT ALL I’VE GOT” The rifle shot the last bullet. Sgt Diaz yells to his team, “Dig in!” Major Redburn charges at locust, ramming his bayonet through the monster’s back, “Let me show you out!” Reyna stepped out from her cloaked position and threw out a frag grenade, “got a present for ya!” The explosion parted the enemy party. Hunkered around hot metal pipes, gunshots flew overhead as the soldiers ducked down.
