Anyone else playing Gears Tactics

I’m really enjoying to so far even though I only have like two missions done.

Even with that little bit done, I can say it’s true that it is pretty fricking hard, at least for me. I’ve died way more often than I’ll admit on here.

Overwatch is a much much more involved system here. Overwatch is dedicated to a co e of vision and you have to use it to counteract multiple melee enemies charging you. Also, the enemy ranged troops use overwatch a ton too so large chain reactions get possible at the end of the turn when half the units on the map activate multiple overwatch shots.

Also, the number of overwatch shots is tied to directly how many action points you’ve used prior to activating it. So if you activate with 3 action points left, your character gets 3 overwatch shots.

The chance of your units hitting their target feels remarkably high compared to something like xcom where it feels like you end up missing a huge amount of your shots. Here, there’s a lot more enemies so you will usually seem to be pretty outnumbered.

Also, your units performing melee combat does seem to be tied pretty key into gameplay.

Lots of cool little systems. As someone who loves and is actively playing Xcom was Igor now, this is a nice breath of fresh air
