Gears Tactics Reviews
Gears Tactics is a refreshing take on the tactics genre that has something for both Gears of War fans and newcomers to the series.
Bombastic! You can't say more than that. The idea to move Gears of War to another genre is brilliantly realized and works great as a tactical game. As with Halo Wars, the transfer was successful and you have chosen exactly the right genre. Gears Tactics can easily be mentioned in the same breath as XCOM. Not only fans of the Gears franchise are recommended to take a look, but everyone who is only in the beginning of a fantastic strategy game.

Gears Tactics delivers signature over-the-top action in a brand new genre that not only works, but succeeds spectacularly.
It is time for a new Gears. Not for a Gears that we are used to, but a Gears that changes to something else. Splash Damage and The Coalition are in charge of bringing us this title set 12 years before Gears Of War. Of course, it happens on our beloved Planet Sera; and yes, this planet is almost ours as Earth itself.

Gears Tactics feels like a natural step for the franchise, and the best game since The Coalition has been given control over the series.

Gears Tactics is an adrenaline rush, a breath of fresh air in turn-based strategy. Splash Damage and The Coalition have in fact managed for the occasion to create a title that is both fun, deep and cinematic, not betraying any cornerstone of either the saga or the genre.

Gears Tactics is pure Gears but exploring new horizons in terms of gameplay. The strategy suits the Gears saga great and Gabe Díaz is a most interesting character who brings us a history of Gears in the old way.

Inject some much-needed adrenaline and storytelling into the tactics milieu, even if the campaign wears out its welcome
Gears Tactics is, simply put, an excellent turn-based tactics game that stands up well against titles like XCOM and others at the top of the genre.
Gears Tactics is a round game that knows how to adapt the essence of the franchise to a new format. And it does so in a masterful way, adapting its unique characteristics and bringing new elements to the tactical genre. A good example is the final bosses and the way to face them, something unique and that brings a breath of fresh air into the game itself.

While Gears Tactics has some refining to do, it’s hard not to recommend
Gears Tactics requires a specific approach. Players looking for complex gameplay similar to the ancient UFO need to be warned – GT is even simpler than the newest XCOMs. It’s definitely not a game to cater to core veterans. However, this is the perfect introduction to tactical strategy for anyone who found the complexity intimidating!

From the rushing melee-based Creepers to exploding Tickers to enemy snipers that can pin one of your squad members into place, there’s diversity in how each firefight plays out.
Gears Tactics kept me entertained for the full 30 or so hours it took me to finish the campaign. Hopefully, the developers take the issues I and many others have brought up to heart, and deliver an excellent sequel a few years down the road.
Gears Tactics is a solid turn-based strategy game that has something for genre veterans and newcomers alike.
Everything about Gears Tactics screams quality, and it's easily one of the best debut titles this genre has seen in years. It's nearly time for X-COM to step aside – this genre just went up a Gear.
Gears franchise reach new horizon with superior turn-based strategy game with admirable graphics and good gameplay.

This title can be regarded as a huge success for a spin-off, and is quite enjoyable. However, its side missions have caused it to fall short of achieving masterpiece status. Regardless, this game is recommended to all fans of the series

Gears Tactics does a fantastic job at applying the X-COM formula to the Gears of War franchise despite it not changing much from the core gameplay. While the intrusiveness of side missions and some weak ability progression take away from the overall experience, Gears Tactics is a must-play for Gears fans and turned-based shooter fans alike.
