Join the Brotherhood of Steel, a technological revival group dedicated to restoring the world to its former prosperity through science and whatever means necessary. Take part in a quest to reawaken long-dormant technology in order to defeat a powerful enemy in the one of a kind Fallout Universe.
Each mission involves various hostile obstacles that must be overcome using tactical skirmish warfare. The player controls up to six detailed characters in the single player mission-based campaign or they may use their chosen squad online in multiplayer battles. Squad-members improve with experience, increasing their skills and earning perks. Many varieties of weapons, from handguns to rocket launchers, allow the player to lay waste to his enemies. In addition, the fighting isn't limited to pedestrians, as squad-members may take the action to the streets with armed vehicles.
As a Brotherhood of Steel initiate you will challenge hordes of ghouls, mutants and other radioactive nightmares. Always outgunned and outnumbered you will fight in hopes of restoring humanity. You're in the army now... so, welcome to the Wasteland!
You are the wretched refuse. You may be born from dirt, but we will forge you into steel. You will learn to bend, if not you will break. In these dark times, the Brotherhood - your Brotherhood – is all that stands between the rekindled flame of civilization and the howling, radiated Wasteland.
Your weapons will become more than your tools, they will become your friends. You will use your skills to inspire the lowly and protect the weak... whether they like it or not. Your squadmates will be more dear to you than your kin and for those who survive there will be honor, respect and the spoils of war.
A very well-designed tactical strategy game set in the famous Fallout universe
A great combination of RTS, turn-based strategy and RPG elements
Impressive number of weapons, skills and upgrades

Fallout games are totally awesome!
I totally love Fallout games.. Atmosphere, game style etc..
Fallout Tactics is quite different than original Fallout games (1&2) still its fun to play and well there is quite decent story too..
And Fallout Tactics tell story why Brotherhood of Steel (BoS) is on D.C in Fallout 3. (If I remember right)
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (NOT to be confused with FO:BOS, an unrelated, critically panned console-only title) is the game Fallout 2 should've been if it was a real sequel rather than just a mission disk for Fallout 1...Oops, sorry fans.
But I AM serious. FO2 contained few and trivial improvements which might as well have been in the first game, focusing instead on more&better quests. The creators of FO:T did their homework and added plenty of changes that hugely improve the Fallout experience: enhanced graphics, a Smart Run mode (fixes Interplay's obsession with forcing the player into slow-walk); "opportunity attacks" which change FO1-2's dominant hit-and-run playstyle; a fully working real-time mode alternative to turn-based mode which is actually a better way to play this game.
the bad:
There isn't much variety - only a few good weapons, snipers rule, shoot all you see.
(There are mods that rebalance weapons and enemy behavior though, so I recommend you to explore them.)
Many recruits to choose from, but many are lazily written and badly built, making CHARISMA unimportant.
Big levels make real-time mode the only practical playstyle.
Think of it as Diablo with guns, and I guarantee you'll have a fun time!
What hasn't changed: the cool Fallout mood.
Some old FO fans dissed the game for certain freedoms it took with the world (like the presence of modern weapons or the BOS pictured as a more actively militaristic society), yet those not too obsessed with the FO lore will likely take these as strenghts.
(It'd be conceited to claim that FO's world, stuck with TVs from 150 years ago in 2077 etc., was made work originally in the first place.)
In Tactics, you really do feel like a part of an army of struggling wasteland saviors; the plot is engaging (with dark humor, true to the FO world), focused on the ideological struggle between the "Warrior" (the player) and General/mission briefer Barnaky (played by Full Metal jacket star R. Lee Ermey)!
Gog version of Fallout Tactics crashes which is horrible if you use ironman mode cause you lose your game and it's not your fault.
Steam version is stable, but ironically it looks better on Gog.
I recommend get Steam version of Fallout Tactics if you don't want crashes.
The actual game is one of the best squad based games ever made. Very interesting missions and character level-ups give you many options for skills and perks. And there are way more guns in the game than you can get around to using. Some guns are low on ammo like the Garand rifle so you can't use them so just sell them. You can specialize some party members in either regular guns or energy guns and also heavy weapons and grenades.
Voices in the game are some of the best ever in a game like the Full Metal Jacket drill sergeant is the BOS general in the game. The orcs have brutal, sadistic voices of power and inescapable doom.
I purchased FO1, FO2, and FOT from a previous GOG sale. Now those titles are showing up as FO* Classic, and then these titles are not showing as me having already purchased.
What's the difference between Classic (which no longer shows up when searching on GOG) and non-Classic?
