Fallout Tactics is one of the most unique and addicting strategy games to date.
User Rating: 9.8 | Fallout Tactics PC
Fallout Tactics is great for a few different reasons... It's set in the fallout universe, so its already got that going for it, but it also allows you to choose between a real time system (which i generally play in but gets confusing when commanding your entire squad) or a turn based system nearly identical to that of Fallout 1 and 2. It basically is another Fallout game except that the openendedness is gone... You follow the missions all, more or less, to a T, and with the exceptions of maybe getting yelled at for **** a minor objective up, or getting praised for doing something really well, you pretty much see no difference in outcome of any mission. There's no prostitutes and slave trading to be had in this game... But its not all bad.. The graphics in tactics are still not outdated in my opinon. The game looks great and runs smooth on almost anything, plus its just a lot of fun to develop your characters. As the game progresses you can recruit and develop Ghouls, Deathclaws, Mutants, and Robots. As they level, you level them. You choose their tag points and their various bonuses. But let's review this for a second... This game is essentially a half-strategy, half-RPG game set in the Fallout Universe. How does it do its job? Extremely well. It takes a while to get used to not sending your melee fighter right in the middle of your own gunfire, but with that aside, the game is well made, and one of my personal favorites for the PC. Give it a try, its a lot of fun online as well.
