Gears Tactics Review: XCOM Meets Gears of War > 자유게시판

Overall, it leaves the campaign feeling about two-thirds baked. Adding in more mission variety (or even trimming the side mission fat) to minimize repetition would undoubtedly solve attention-loss issues towards the ending stre

A lot is borrowed in Gears Tactics , but that's not a bad thing by any stretch of the mind. Five classes, Support, Vanguard, Heavy, Scout, Sniper, provide a wealth of tactical options and synergy opportunities against a sometimes insurmountable foe, and it feels like XCOM with a few gritty Gears of War twists. Cover is the basis of the mainline series, and that's equally true in this ambitious spinoff , with some added destructibility of certain weaker objects like boxes and sandbags. It may offer few innovations, but those that it does are thanks to is unique source material. Locust Drones can be downed and revived just like friendlies, emergence holes not cleared out with grenades spawn more grubs, and the game's one of the most mindful of its 3D environments in the genre, especially regarding obstructions and vertical

Its greatest offering is its brilliant take on the well-worn overwatch mechanic, which expends all of a soldier's remaining AP (with at least 3 being given each unit every turn) in exchange for the ability to cover squadmates, reserving one shot for spotted enemies per AP allotted. What sets Gears Tactics ' overwatch apart from the crowd, though, is its spatial nature, forcing players to highlight a lane of a length and in a direction of their choosing. This not only encourages players to anticipate from Where Is The Unseen Razor quest they want to defend against assault, but also allows them to prevent their units from taking unintended potshots at the wrong enemy unit and leaving their allies exposed. Along with Sniper Locust that pin down friendly units, enemies are similarly eager to box vulnerable Gears using overwatch until killed or interrup

It's probably not the best turn-based squad tactics game ever nor the best Gears of War title out there, but Gears Tactics is an impressively solid adaptation of the beloved Xbox franchise, proving that The Coalition is capable of bringing out the best in the couch co-op classic while continuing to take risks. Although its pacing leaves something to be desired and it borrows as many genre ills as it does strengths, Gears Tactics is mechanically and thematically engaging from the start of its long campaign to its end, and it does its inspirations justice. It isn't far from inaccessible to newcomers while also taking care to pay respect to veterans of the franchise and other squad tactics games, and fans of both will be absolutely enamored with Gears Tacti

Grenadiers are heavy units that can tank a few hits. Similar to wretches, grenadiers will rush friendly units with their shotguns which makes them a lot scarier to deal with than Wretches. However, they have to get close to your units in order to deal damage. Try to take them out from far away, and prioritize attacking these units if they overstep their bou

For killing the enemy instantly, Sniper is one of the best options. With an additional scope, you can fire as long as you want, killing enemies from as far as you can. Sniper kills the monsters and enemies in just one shot in the head. Always make sure to keep extra ammo so you don’t have to worry about running out of them in the time of n

Class customization is satisfactory. There are five classes, each featuring four branches of subclasses. I found the amount of skill-tree variety to be just right – nothing overly complex nor dumbed-down. The selection of weapon mods and armor perks brought me the experience I just about expected. You can build each of your units to be adaptable and well-rounded or have them specialize. I personally enjoyed building up Cole Train as a beefy tank and Mikayla as a critical hit-machine, for exam

The prequel to the popular third-person shooter franchise Gears of War , Gears Tactics is a turn-based strategy game that is a diversion from the traditional norms of the genre. It looks great, and the layout gives it the feel of a core Gears of War game despite being a strategy g

This weapon was found in the laboratory Mount Kadar and since then it has been used many times in the game to complete many tasks and challenges. It is one of the best weapons to use when you want to shatter your enemies into pie

Gears Tactics has polished, stable gameplay. Nothing in the spinoff is going to make your head explode – though you will be exploding plenty of Locust heads. And that’s part of the fun, all things considered. Combat has a respectable amount of variance, but you can pretty much bulldoze your way through the Intermediate campaign like a bull in a china shop. Loading all your units up with Fragmentation Grenades and tossing them off as often as possible is an extremely viable strategy. Flanks are important, yes, and the Scout class can cloak, sure – but you really can explode, chainsaw, and Bayonet Charge your way to victory in most ca
