Even the nonhuman characters that open up don't matter. Because they aren't personalized, it really doesn't matter which ones you pick. At least in the earlier Fallout games they used floating text to communicate. Squad members are personalized by portraits, but don't have any personality. Some games (Tie Fighter comes to mind) had missions that varied wildly from the briefing, you had to use your best judgment and play it by ear, not here. My biggest complaint is that missions never deviate from what is stated in the briefing. Early missions seem to have more avenues towards completion, but end levels are extraordinarily linear. Early missions are varied, later missions are all about combat. Enough shots will kill them, but it's rare. Caution and stealth are rewarded, once you get towards the end of the game, your characters are basically tanks. At the beginning, you can only withstand a few hits. I loved the early part of the game and disliked the end. Sadly, only a few levels actually allow for vehicle use, usually they only help in getting around the map faster. The best mission involves a series of hostage rescues which must be carried out covertly or the enemies will sound an alarm.įallout Tactics preserves the wide range of weaponry and armor, it favors combat centered characters, although you'll want a medic along most missions. One mission has your squad escorting a supply vehicle down a sniper alley, another one has you defending a town. There are 20 primary missions in FT and they show some variation early on in the game. Each method has its advantages, the turn-based mode allows for complete control over your squad while the real-time mode makes for white knuckle game playing.

A turn-based mode similar to the original games, a squad turn-based mode (where all your members move then the enemies move), and a real-time mode called the continuous turn-based mode. At times, FT feels like it could be an RPG, with your squad acting as a party, but the linear design and lack of conversation options will remind you that this is a combat centered game.įT supports three modes of gameplay. While not an RPG, FT does use the SPECIAL attribute system and the other RPG devices used in the Fallout games. It takes place between the first and second games, but takes place in the Midwest rather than the West Coast. Fallout Tactics is a squad-based strategy game set in the Fallout universe. Most people seem to care a great deal about those two areas. I don't care that Fallout Tactics isn't an RPG. I don't care if Fallout Tactics isn't Fallouty.
