Gears Tactics is the perfect mix for me. Great universe and great gameplay. It may still be a little better, but it's already a MUST for many... While there are still a few things you can improve.

Gears Tactics is turn based excellence, a strategy title that takes the Gears of War franchise in an interesting new direction.
Gears Tactics is a great fit for the IP and its gameplay complexity matches – and sometimes surpasses – that of other long-established IPs in the genre.
It's not always easy for the game development team to decide to deviate so much from one of their flagship products, but in this case the audacity has been able to pay off by offering a title that will not disappoint old fans but rather is destined to become a real must for lovers of strategy in general. The boss fights and variety of missions, as well as the whole lookout game, are additions that make the genre even more dynamic and fun that gives you a slight vibe of Starship Troopers. Comparison with other titles is inevitable but Gears Tactics manages to emerge and even lay the foundations for future projects that we honestly can't wait to try.

Gears Tactics has managed to capture the essence of the Gears franchise and move it into an entirely new genre. The fun and fast-paced tactics-based gameplay is perfectly mixed with all the hallmarks of the Gears series with very few downsides.
Gears Tactics takes the great third person pop and stop shooter, into a new turn based, tactical realm.
"Hey, what can you do to keep a strong franchise active between games?" Well, cool stuff like this, turning a TPS into an RTS ...... oh shit, into a turn-based strategy game. "And will I like it?" Definitely. Because that's the great achievement of Gears Tactics, changing genre, making it fun, well balanced and measured. And may the original spirit continue and be maintained for all those millions of players who only want to saw larvae, or pierce them with their retro-lancer. Splash Damage and The Coalition have nailed it to diversify into a franchise born of adrenaline and direct play.

When all is said and done, I have loved my time with Gears Tactics. It melds the action, world, and personality of the core Gears series with a new style of play I thoroughly enjoy. Its challenging yet flexible battles frequently gave me the feeling of true accomplishment when I succeeded in getting my squad through another fight.
Gears Tactics has great mechanics and overall is a fantastic strategy game, although some of its missions feel more like a chore.

Gears Tactics delivers a very deep dimension of strategy while maintaining the wild style of the Gears series. It keeps me engaged for multiple hours. But at the end of the day, repetitive missions make me feel bored.

Gears Tactics reinvents the saga moving from shooter to tactical strategy. It keeps the essence of third-person shooter, it's fast, wild and fun, despite some boring side missions.

Gears Tactics fully understands what a T-RPG is, however, it lacked a little more ambition to be able to rub shoulders with the greats of the genre. With a more varied mission design and better-managed depth of management, it would have shone the most.

Gears Tactics does an excellent job of grafting Gears' signature look and feel onto XCOM's turn-based battle format and looks great doing it.
A fast-paced and accessible turn-based action game that if anything feels constrained by the predictable nature of the Gears Of War universe.
Gears Tactics carefully recreates the chaotic excitement of a Gears of War firefight in turn-based strategy form.
