Gears Tactics

[h1]Just as enjoyble as the Third-Person-Shooter main games, if not even more so.[/h1] Gears Tactics is probably the first tactics game i played since i guess Commandos 3, which for all of you born after 1990, was pretty much the biggest tactics franchise at the turn of the millenium and since then has basically vanished into obscurity. Looking at Gears Tactics, i was surprised how little has changed, yet how greatly fun the genre still can be. The only thing that keeps Gears Tactics from being a truly outstanding tactics game is the repetitive nature of the missiondesign: the game forces you to repeat the same couple of sidemissions over and over again throughout it’s campaign and it goes so far in that regard that later on it even starts to use maps that are designed extremely similar to previous missions you’ve already played, so towards the end of the game you‘ll basically get the feeling that you are playing the same two or three missions multiple times. This distracts heavily from the somewhat decent story and unnecessarily drags the campaign way beyond 20 hours, which is much too long for a game with such repetitive missiondesign, even though the gameplay itself remains fun until the end. ______________________________________________ GEARS TACTICS Genre: Turnbased Tactics Release: Q2 2020 ( ) 0/8 Simply one of the worst games ever made.
