Gears Tactics Reviews
Gears Tactics is a fantastic strategy game.
Gears Tactics is not only a pretty good turn-based tactical game, but it also manages to keep the typical feeling of the Gears of War series unchanged.

It wouldn't be Gears of War without gore, and combining strategy with viscera dispersal aplenty, this cerebral twist on an old favourite remains true to form
Held back by a few flaws, Gears Tactics remains a rock-solid turn-based strategy game fans of the genre will love.
Gears Tactics perfectly translates the aggressive, bloody action of the series to a turn-based format.
The game offers a solid experience of squad customization and tactical turn-based battle, but still keeps some of the most satisfying head explosions to ever come out of an action game.
There's a sense that this is Splash Damage and The Coalition playing to the crowd with Gears Tactics. It undoubtedly captures the look and feel of the Gears universe, squeezing it into a slick turn-based tactical game, but while I can see a few genre fans attracted to its more cerebral form of warfare, it's the series fans who are going to get the most out of it.
Gears Tactics makes a wonderful addition to the franchise, and I hope that it spins off as its own series.
Gears Tactics finds its niche by leaning further into the hyper-aggressive action and gore of the franchise. It throws tons of enemies at you, which forces you to move and keeps you on your toes, but can also become annoying and tedious in some missions. For a first-time outing though, Gears Tactics is a fantastic start.
Gears Tactics carefully recreates the chaotic excitement of a Gears of War firefight in turn-based strategy form.
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 does an excellent job of grafting Gears' signature look and feel onto XCOM's turn-based battle format and looks great doing it.
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 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.

Turn-based strategy and Gears of War, that fits! A real recommendation for strategists thanks to the many options and good controller control.

Clever combat abilities and brutal executions translate Gears of War into a deep, fast-paced strategy game.
Gears Tactics is a must-play if you're a fan of the franchise or the genre
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 has great mechanics and overall is a fantastic strategy game, although some of its missions feel more like a chore.

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.
