![]() The animations are pulled straight from the franchise with brutal chainsaw executions and explosive gore. It all works really well and feels awesome. But if you mess up they will overwhelm you.Ī lot of the strategy focuses on getting as many extra attacks as possible or setting up kill zones of overwatch gunfire to take swarms of chumps out in a single barrage so you can focus on the meatier enemies. Gears Tactics feels faster-paced than similar games since it focuses on throwing tons of enemies at you that go down fairly easy. There is never a moment where you aren’t aware that this is very much a Gears of War game. This grants your entire team an extra action, allowing you to chain together several extra attacks to stem the tide of the locust horde. Taking a Boomshot from a fallen Boomer can turn the tide of battle.ĭowned enemies can be executed. If you kill a Boomer or Theron Guard, you can pick up their explosive weaponry. You can command your soldiers to kick away tickers, and then detonate them into the faces of their allies. What really makes Gears Tactics shine is the incredible way most of the mechanics found in the Gears titles translate into the game. Taking cover is vitally important against ranged enemies, and your soldiers can be one of several classes. Each soldier has a number of action points to move around, attack, and use abilities. The combat features many expected conventions of the genre. But it is far more detailed than what you would normally find in the genre. Like any Gears game, don’t come expecting a profound plotline. It follows the story of Gabriel Diaz, a name you might recognize as the father of Kait Diaz. Gears Tactics features a story that feels like it could have come from the mainline series with full cutscenes and cohesive dialogue. Yet, outside of battle, it definitely feels like the machine is missing a cog or two. Your squad will take on hordes of enemies at once, cutting them down in hail storms of gunfire and running up close for brutal executions. Keeping in spirit with the third-person shooting series that inspired it, Gears Tactics feels fast. Despite appearances, Gears Tactics is no mere X-COM clone. That fact is both one of the game’s biggest strengths and weakest links. ![]() You can find a video version of this review here on my YouTube Channelĭespite the resemblance, Gears Tactics is not a mere reskin of X-COM, and they have a lot less in common than you might initially think. It’s incredibly fascinating to take an existing game and watch all of its mechanics translate into a tactical turn-based version of itself. Halo, Death Stranding, The Elder Scrolls, all of it. If someone is going to try to do everything on jacked mode alone, they are in for one hell of a grind.Gears Tactics convinced me that pretty much every videogame IP should get the X-COM treatment. ![]() In any case I beat the RNG myself as much as possible on classic mode back in the day but ended up with a few dupes but it will easily take you over 30 veteran missions to get all 62 legendary mods (reached lvl 37 to complete the entire set). I wonder why they didn't implement the same logic for the drops for supreme mods to not give dupes like they fixed legendary drops in classic mode. every veteran side mission still drops a supreme mod). After you get 20/20, the drop rates do not change (i.e. Sigh stuck at 18/20, I'm starting to get a lot of duplicates.Įdit: got 20/20. I only have 15/20 of them, I'll let you know if the supreme mods stop being awarded if you have 1 copy of each. There are 20 supreme mods, oddly I somehow have a 2nd copy of a lancer mod. But if you're looking to quickly fill out all legendary weapon parts, yeah jacked mode is significantly slower. Occasionally you do find a legendary second objective, and the veteran mission itself is always a legendary armor. I don't see a need for 2 save files.Įdit: the rate at which you get legendaries is a lot less in jacked mode most veretan missions give you a supreme mod for main, then a purple mod for secondary objective. ![]() Legendaries still drop in jacked mode, so you can get the achievement for equipping legendary mods on everything in jacked mode. one on classic and one in jacked to get all the weapon mods needed for the achievements Originally posted by acowsik:So from this, its kinda clear that you need 2 runs of the game for sure.
