Where 'Gears Tactics' truly shines is in its visual presentation and sound design. These games are known for their challenging nature, throwing players into the thick of it from the get-go. This style of play is often associated with its high difficulty level, featuring overwhelming enemies, seemingly improbable shots, and constant mission timers. As a subgenre that XCOM popularized back in 1994, more and more games are now embracing this style of gameplay, integrating it into their own universes. 'Gears Tactics' is a spin-off from the main Gears of War game series, departing from its third-person shooter roots to adopt a turn-based strategy format, similar to XCOM.
