“Another approach is to give the player a deep and powerful tool set, which is what we chose to do with skills and multiple Action Points. “There’s a way to design games where you put a lot of constraints on a player and those constraints dictate their strategic decisions and, in a sense, limit their creativity,” Tyler says. To both keep you on your toes and to keep upping the challenge.” “We keep careful track of your squad to figure out exactly when to throw more at you and from what angles to do it. In order for it feel fun, for it to feel like Gears. For the team, the freedom and tools given to players has to rise to the level of challenge. Ultimately you want to be challenged, but you also don't want to feel overwhelmed.”Ī delicate balance at the best of times, challenge and difficulty in Gears comes from a place separate from frustration. Rather than having an environment where you’re facing three incredibly high-powered enemies, you're facing 15 Locust that have specific roles that are there to foil you and keep you from moving forward. To both keep you on your toes and to keep upping the challenge. We keep careful track of your squad to figure out exactly when to throw more at you and from what angles to do it. “The battlefield in Gears Tactics is dynamic from turn to turn. “That feeling comes down to those enemy roles and us as a team being willing to throw a lot more problems at the player, a lot more frequently,” Tyler explains.

That mix of skill, strategy, and intense action has become as synonymous with Gears as its focus on camaraderie and soldiers coming together against all the odds to make a difference. With defined rules around being defensive, getting into position, and eventually running up to a Locust soldier to brutally execute them in the thick of battle. This is the synergy previously alluded to the combat in Gears is a natural fit for a turn-based tactics game because Gears is at its core tactical, deep, and nuanced. “Cover is how you move through the world, it's how you perceive the fronts of battle, how enemies set up against you, how you flank and break through.” Functionally, they're the same role in tactics - we just translated it from a third person action game to a turn-based game.”
