Unlike XCOM, Gears Tactics is a little more vague about your range of movement, with little exploits emerging depending on how you use cover, maybe adding precious meters to your target, and increasing your hit chances substantially. However, as much as it might look to some like XCOM at first blush, there are many included elements from the Gears universe that inject some additional flair. The gameplay overhaul is the most notable change present in Gears, and it’s hard not to see a lot of XCOM in the DNA of Gears Tactics. It doesn’t boast the same emotional depth that we see from Dom’s tale in Gears of War 2, nor does it drive a larger narrative forward like all of the core, numbered Gears of War games do, but Gears Tactics connects many dots, establishes backgrounds for pivotal characters in the universe and more. What unravels throughout the journey is one of the most engaging stories yet told in the Gears of War universe. Recognising the threat, the COG are sending Gabe along with new partner Sid Redburn to stomp out the threat before Ukkon creates something that the COG couldn’t possibly fight back against. As Gabe Diaz, you get roped into a mysterious operation that takes him on a secret COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) mission to assassinate Ukkon, a Locust scientist responsible for creating some of the Locust’s most feared weapons like Brumaks and Corpsers. Set in the rich period of the Gears universe before the events of the original Gears of War, Gears Tactics’ tale is a fascinating one that directly links to the original trilogy, but also to the events of the two entries since then (Gears of War ’s Gears 5). Can this combination of Gears, The Coalition and Splash Damage soar high like a Reaver or should it be shot down by the Hammer of Dawn? As the trilogy ended though, and a new one began, the hopes seemed to disappear down an e-hole, but just when all hope seemed lost, up sprung Gears Tactics. Forums and social media would sometimes erupt with excitement at the thought of an XCOM-styled Gears of War title, with many believing that the franchise, and the many unique forms of Locust, would be the perfect fit for the genre.
