The standard "Gears" games relied on squads of players crouched behind cover, using flanking tactics to ambush enemies and a turn-based adaptation is a perfect fit for the play-style. In a shift from other games in the franchise, "Gears Tactics" is a single-player, turn-based game where players take a squad of up to four Gears at a time on missions to combat the Locust horde. The gore can, thankfully, be toggled off if it becomes too much. Said chainsaw can be used to carve enemies into pieces amid a bloody spray. It's rare to see an action-shooter franchise take the horrors of war so seriously, with loss and sacrifice as constant themes.Īlso a constant theme - gore - comes thanks in large part to the game's signature weapon, a full-auto assault rifle with a chainsaw bayonet. The "Gears of War" storyline is tragic and spans generations, and is in general quite good. Soldiers, known as Gears, battle to save those humans who remain, although most of the world is now holed up in just a few cities.
Most of the "Gears" story takes place on the planet Sera and focuses on a war between humans and underground-dwelling creatures known as the Locust that one day emerged from the ground and brought humanity to its knees. Traditionally a third-person sci-fi action shooter, the "Gears of War" franchise includes more than half a dozen best-selling games, seven novels, comic books and board games, and even a planned feature film.
