Gears Tactics

Fantastic X-Com-like. Of all the spinoff tactics games X-Com launched, this is by far one of the most interesting, polished, and feature robust. Enjoying it a lot. Regarding hardware, works fine for me. Have encountered zero issues at time of writing, but you may want to check your specs before picking it up because that's apparently not the norm.

The story has been intriguing and the game-play is very enjoyable. Optional mission objectives or restrictions give it that extra difficulty for those that are looking for a challenge. Equipment is versatile and customizable.

I found the mission objectives and play throughs very repeatative after the first 2-3 rounds of missions. The variety in objectives and tactics you could deploy was incredibly limited and not particularly exciting.

Gears Tactics, it is fine, its no XCOM but an ok tactical game in the genre if you like a Gears skin over it. Still satisfying to see the executions of a chainsaw cutting someone in half or a sniper shot explode a head but it gets a bit repetitive over time with lack of enemy variety. One thing I will give it is boss fights against giant enemies like the brumak and corpser from the Gears of war games gives some unique combats but there are 3 acts with a boss at the end of each...meaning this is a very rare occurrence of something interesting and new in-between the slog of fighting the same enemies for 6-8 missions until the end of an act. Pretty short, padded by forced repetitive side missions. Another case of steam needing a middle of the road option.

Yo

Xcom meets Gears i think that about sums it up.

Turn-based tactical Gears of War game is pretty neat.
