Though I am a Gears fan and have been with the series since the start I’m far from knowledgeable about the timeline. Whether the lore presented fits in with Gears as a whole is a trickier question. It’s basic, but fun enough to justify all the shooting and chainsawing stuff in half. However, the impressive cutscenes and strong voice acting do put Gears Tactics leagues ahead of every other game in the genre in that regard. The story is nothing special, featuring a cast of shallow characters. Having been given nothing in the way of help except for the grumpy Sid Redburn, Diaz heads out to find himself some troops and some equipment to tackle Ukkon. We catch up with Gabe Diaz (father of X Diaz from Gears 5) as he is given the job of hunting down and killing Ukkon, a unique Locust enemy. Gears Tactics takes place just one year after Emergence Day and thus is the earliest story told in the Gears’ games. Still, Gears Tactics takes the formula, applies some of its own ideas and then executes the whole thing with supreme confidence.īefore we delve into the gameplay though, let’s chat about the story and where it fits into the Gears universe. You spend action points to move your troops around, open fire, set up overwatch points and activate abilities, then the enemy takes their turn to do the very same things. That isn’t to say Gears Tactics isn’t built on the foundations that 2013’s XCOM reboot laid, because it very much is.
