    Top quality tactical turn-based RPG. Best XCOM follower since 2010. Please, more of the same!

    Не скажу, что я фанат тактических игр, но я их люблю. Tactics - прекрасный образец своего жанра, дорогой и продуманный, с качественными катсценами и сюжетом. Игру, понятное дело, еще не прошел, но буду с нетерпением ждать вторую часть.Не скажу, что я фанат тактических игр, но я их люблю.

    Since Starcraft 2 I haven't had so much fun in a strategy game, Gears Tactics is excellent.
    Nice graphic's, music and narrative.

    A cool strategy game, with beautiful graphics and smooth game play... and of course, its Gears!
    If you like XCOM games, this one is for you!

    What a surprise. Gears Tactics improves by far the XCOM approach.
    In-game, this game is much more strategic, the rhythm is much more fun and engaging, there is not as much silly animations that one has to endure through it.

The customization options are pretty satisfying and the tech trees are complex enough to customize the way you see fit.
    Would like to see more strategic options outside missions, but still, the game is really good where that absence doesn't fill as heavy since the in-game gameplay is so satisfying.    … Expand

    Best game in its genre, perfect to play with game pass. The gears universe is perfect with this kind of game.

    Refreshing entry that is addictive and fun! Here’s hoping Tactics becomes its own spin off franchise. Well done Splash Damage and TC.

    They merged my two favorite loves, Fire Emblem and Gears. If you are a tactics fan play this game. The Overwatch, Risk/Reward mechanics are refreshing. Go get those Executions!

    Grandioso juego, gráficos exquisitos, gran personalización, una gran banda sonora, una campaña bastante larga y una historia interesante, si bien es más simple que otros juegos del genero la verdad es que, da mucha mas libertad para poder actuar, no hagan caso a los trolls y los fanboys de xcom que flodean las reviews, es juego bastante bueno y que si tienes gamepass deberias probarlo.

Um ótimo jogo a todos que jogar : )

    Flips the xcom formula enough that it feels unique and its great. I honestly didn't know what to expect with this title, but four hours flew by today and I have been chuckling my way through this game!!! Highly recommended!!

    Excelente ponta pé no gênero , se equiparando muito bem com jogos do gênero como xcom e mutant year zero , além dos gráficos e dublagem excelentes , espero poder continuar vendo próximos jogos da saga em outras plataformas simultaneamente com o Xbox

    The game was somewhat shorter than I would have liked but it was an incredibly well made game. If you like X-Com style games you'll love it. The abilities and skill trees were great, the enemies were incredibly fun and the game engine was top notch. Practically no bugs either. Above all I love their overwatch mechanic.

    The perfect blend between XCOM and Gears of war.

    The graphics, the smooth pathing of the Gears moving on the ground. The enemy design. Everything!. Thanks Microsoft!

    Gears Tactics is an exciting game with incredibly beautiful graphics, interesting missions and well-developed mechanics, which could have been better if the authors of the game paid more attention to the story. Anyway we have a great project for fans of the genre, regardless of their loyalty to the Gears of War franchise.

    Gears Tactics proves that there is a place for an awesome turn-based strategy game in the Gears universe. Now, someone needs to develop that game.

    Gears of War from a bird's perspective. An interesting system of action points is brought down by repetitive content with a boring grind of boxes with equipment and a weak story. [Issue#303]
