It's incredible how much Gears Tactics just looks like an average Gears of War game but from a top-down perspective, like this could be a level or multiplayer map in any Gears game. The series has always been about boxy maps with conspicuous amounts of chest-high walls evenly placed everywhere and even in terms of gameplay it feels like Gears of War in turn-based form. This has far better synergy with its parent franchise than those Halo RTS games

Overall it seems like a fun side game and I'm surprised Microsoft would even make something this cool. My biggest complaint is that I can't savescum since there are no manual saves

Grr woke grr politics
