    The story below-par, side missions are so repetitive and you forced to do the same thing over and over with little change or inivation. The abilities are too numerous are should be cut down to a xcom level.

    Weapon Upgrades are too repetitive to collect and opening cases over an over are boring and I don't like loot crates. You are forced to take characters on missions and are capped
    The story below-par, side missions are so repetitive and you forced to do the same thing over and over with little change or inivation. The abilities are too numerous are should be cut down to a xcom level.

    Weapon Upgrades are too repetitive to collect and opening cases over an over are boring and I don't like loot crates. You are forced to take characters on missions and are capped sometimes on how many, unlike xcom you can field six and are attached to these characters, more is always better. But in this game, you are forced to care and use characters you never created or wanted which creates little attachment.

    Its certainly not on xcom`s level but has some similarity in gameplay but doesn't get me excited to play it again straight away. If abilities and weapon upgrades were more like xcoms it would get a higher score but the story needs to be way more interesting to be on par with xcom which gives you far more to do including base managing.

    If all you want is XCOM-style combat set in the Gears universe then Gears Tactics will be sure to satisfy but just don't expect it to offer a fully-featured immersive campaign that's anything beyond simply beating mission after mission.

    Gears Tactics on Xbox is one of the best attempts to craft a new turn-based squad shooter game. A rough-hewn, challenging game with a long campaign and lots of options to customize your characters, along with a whole new game-mode, means that Gears Tactics is a must play game for any fans of the Gears universe, turn-based strategy titles or squad tactics games.
