"Gears of War mostly mostly nails its strategy debut with an accomplished, but no-frills alternative to XCOM."

"All my quibbles are on the periphery of Gears Tactics, though. The core -- getting onto the battlefield and agonizing over every move -- is excellent. There&s;s a smart experience here, one that feels both authentically Gears and tactics. That&s;s …"

"Gears Tactics does an excellent job of grafting Gears&s; signature look and feel onto XCOM&s;s turn-based battle format and looks great doing it."

"The customization of our troops, the combats versus de final bosses and the aggressiveness of the enemies are the three elements that makes differences between Gears Tactics and other titles of the turn based strategy games, but don&s;t make a …"

"Gears Tactics perfectly translates the aggressive, bloody action of the series to a turn-based format."

"There&s;s a sense that this is Splash Damage and The Coalition playing to the crowd with Gears Tactics. It undoubtedly captures the look and feel of the Gears universe, squeezing it into a slick turn-based tactical game, but while I …"

"Gears Tactics is a fantastic game. The XCOM fans will have a ball with it and maybe even some Gears fans will get into the strategy genre. Who knows? Either way, Splash Damage has created a fine tactical game that …"

"I wasn&s;t expecting to like Gears Tactics this much, and the tactical layer is phenomenally enjoyable. If this is all you want, Gears Tactics is a must-buy. However, a lack of memorable moments and the lack of a grander strategy …"

"Gears Tactics makes a wonderful addition to the franchise, and I hope that it spins off as its own series."

"Inject some much-needed adrenaline and storytelling into the tactics milieu, even if the campaign wears out its welcome"

"Gears Tactics carefully recreates the chaotic excitement of a Gears of War firefight in turn-based strategy form."

"Gears Tactics tries some new things, but ultimately results in a game that’s less tactics oriented than the name suggests. It’s a competent experience, but completely whiffs on character with a lackluster story and every tool is a hammer class …"

"It wouldn&s;t be Gears of War without gore, and combining strategy with viscera dispersal aplenty, this cerebral twist on an old favourite remains true to form"

"Gears Tactics is definitely different than what Gears fans are accustomed to, being a tactical-style game, but I think it fits the genre pretty well. If you&s;ve ever wondered what Gears would be like outside of the main series, Gears …"
