It honestly feels like the developers are trying to infuse Gears Tactics with the spirit of Horde Mode. Gears Tactics throws a ton of enemies in your direction with initial groups of five to 10 enemies, frequently bringing with them equally sized groups of reinforcements. Yes, you'll be hiding around cover a lot of the time, but Gears Tactics wants you to fight a whole lot more than you would in other tactics games. The second addition is the hyper-aggressive nature of the entire Gears franchise. This boss fight is quite cool, with a lot of movement, but it drags on a bit too long. For everyone else, it's mostly just fun seeing your cosmetic choices in slick cutscenes. If you enjoy Gears lore, you'll be right as rain. Gears Tactics' main contribution to the lore is in providing a bit more color to the Outsiders, a group that appeared in Gears of War 4 and Gears 5, firmly planting it within the modern era of Gears storytelling under The Coalition.
It's big damn heroes all the way down the line, with impossibly ripped men and women growling out sad backstories and catchy one-liners. The plot isn't the deepest, but it never is with Gears, so that's not a problem. (Transmedia!) Ignoring his wishes, Chairman Prescott sends Gabe and hardened veteran Sid Redburn on a mission to kill Ukkon, a Locust scientist who's mutating his kind into new forms. The elder Diaz is a former soldier working in the COG motorpool, following the events of the Gears of War: Bloodlines novel. (XCOM's latest release, the spin-off XCOM: Chimera Squad, tries on a narrative for size, however.) It follows the exploits of Gabe Diaz, the father of Gears 5 heroine Kait Diaz. The first is that it has a decidedly narrative bent, something that XCOM has largely avoided. Gears Tactics lends its own flavor to the tactics genre in two distinct ways.
GEARS TACTICS MOD MOVIE
Still waiting for that Gears movie starring the Rock.
In Gears Tactics, those root concepts translate over to an isometric strategy game rather easily, especially the idea of fighting primarily from cover. The big-builded dominantly-men hide in waist-high cover, and then charge out to rip and tear alien foes apart with chainsaw bayonets. Gears of War has always been about burly soldiers that physically dwarf Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
GEARS TACTICS MOD SERIES
Gears Tactics splits the difference between its franchise namesake and the fan-favorite strategy series it pointedly takes inspiration from, XCOM. Gears Tactics, however, has pulled me right back in. I enjoyed the first two games, but definitely fell off and focused on other games and franchises over the past 12 years. The last game I played in the Gears franchise was Gears of War 2.
