A good game, but...

Ok, I played this game several times already and it is worth it. I will not talk about the issues that were (probably) eliminated in this version, i'll talk about the experience itself. There are a few stats that are useless on any other party member but may be of use to you as a leader. For example, based only your character charisma you get the rating among the BOS and that rating influences the other NPCs you can take with you and the weapons available at the vendor. The weapons sold in bunkers are usually the same as what you can get from the missions (you will probably only buy rare ammo from the store) so no big deal here. Also, you will eventually get access to the other NPCs, but later. That means that they will be higher level when you get them and this means that you will not be able to control their progress - for example, if you want an NPC based on their good primary statistics (STR, PE, etc) and you want to develop them in Small Arms, if you get them later you may have the surprise to see they developed their Unarmed or Melee Weapon skill - and worst, they may have even picked a perk that is useless for them. That being said, I did like this game but played as a team but as one character only. Yes, it's possible to finish this one with one character and it's not as hard as you may think - if you know how to develop your character. From some points of view it's even easier - using only one person it's easier to manage and won't be that expensive to use in missions. They will not waste that many bullets for example. You will also be able to finish all mission objectives, save one secondary objective in one mission - not such a big deal. Note that you will not get more experience with one character as the experience is not "split", is actually given evenly to all party members. The sole exception to this rule is when you use first aid/doctor skills, those are given only to the one using the skill. Bring peace to the wasteland! :)

Lots of bugs

Soo apparently is not the new version. And here there are tons of bugs and crashes that are still not fixed in this version. Example: Nuka Cola shop event. Dont go there, or you got permanent stuck and cant leave map! Another problem - killing tank in front of a door - dont doo that or you cant use that door! Aiming at 95%. That is 5% miss. But is not. In reality is like 20%miss!. And that gets realy annoying! Soo i have my main hero whit second best machine gun aiming at 95% vs 5 enemies! And it miss! Enemy dint miss and kill it and i reload. There is a problem whit first aid and doctor skills - some time they refuse to work, not fail check, just consume item and nothing. Sorry for bad english. Still a gread game of my teen years.

One of the best RTT's ever made

Actually this might be THE best Real Time Tactics game I have ever played, period. Stuff like Satellite Reign is great but the mechanics alone along with atmosphere is hands down the best. I still remember whining in my naivete it was "not real Fallout" oh how young me would react seeing Toddout 4 and Toddout 76. This is a fairly linear squad based tactical game with real time, partial realtime using AP, and turn based combat which you can set either way like Pathfinder Kingmaker did. The ambushes, tactics, use of stances it's just great. This was not a crpg like Fallout 1 & 2, there's some dialogue but no narrative branches and questlines, it's basically just combat and leveling up and gear. Think closer to Diablo II with machine guns and cover. Mark Morgan returns for an eerie epic haunting soundtrack, and remains every bit as atmospheric as the first two Fallout games, with a similar albeit more grim, darker sense of humour. Story is decent, but like the leveling and RPG elements it's all there as backdrop for the combat. I would easily recommend this game. If you like games like XCOM2, or if you like games like Wasteland 2 or Atom RPG or Pathfinder Kingmaker, you'd like this.

FPS goodness - DRM free

Back in the day I was dissapointed Fallout Tactics wasn't a 'real' roleplaying game like Fallout 1 & 2. Being a huge fan of the series I still gave this game a try and I wasn't dissapointed to say the least. Fallout Tactics, like the name already says, is a tactical game in the Fallout universe. You start by creating your main character and give him/her the skills you prefer. You start out with 2 other squad members and as the game progresses your squad members level up so you can adjust their skills like all (PC) Fallout games. After each mission you enter the worldmap to go to different locations like you're bunker where you can recruit new squad members and/or buy/sell equipment. Squad members can ofcourse die and won't return (unless you load your savegame). What sets Fallout Tactics apart from other tactical games for me: 1. The variety of enemies. Sometimes you'll be battling Bugs, the other time you will be facing Super Mutants and several other enemies I won't name here (spoilers). Every enemy calls for a different approach. 2. The variety of missions. Sometimes you will have to rescue people, sometimes you have to do an escort mission. Also in most missions you've got a vehicle at your disposal. 3. The variety of weapons. Fallout Tactics has a huge range of weapons, both realistic and unrealistic but they all fit in the game nicely. 4. The use of skills in a game. Lockpicking, Healing, Defusing... it's all there. 5. Different 'races'. Your squad may also contain different kinds of races like ghouls and Super Mutants. All of them ofcourse have their own speciality/skills. 6. Gameplay. The tactical combat just works really well in this game as a tactical game should obviously. Everytime you make a clean kill feels very good. 7. Graphics. The graphics have aged very well in my opinion. Blood and gore is ofcourse included and every kill feels satisfying. 8. Last but not least; The Fallout universe.
