No Tactics detected
I played FoT back in the day. It was clunky in more ways than I can list here. I blamed it on my inadequate PC. Now that my PC is 100 times more powerful than the PC I had back in the day, I gave FoT another shot. Nostalgia, you see... Now I know, it was not my old PC. FoT is still clunky due to poor coding. LAG everywhere. But this is not the worst of it. There are NO tactics involved. The ingredients are there, but the AI sucks and the only viable tactics 95% of the time is to set your team on Defensive (so they don't shoot unless attacked), send a scout with high Sneak skill to find a group of enemies, line up your soldiers in a kind of a firing squad formation, switch from Defensive to Aggressive and let them annihilate the enemy. The rest of the enemies not directly involved will continue to go about their business as if there is no battle going on 30 yards away. Rinse. Repeat. Another problem is balance: This time I decided to include a strong Unarmed Master warrior in my squad... but I found no viable way to use unarmed skills as they have a range of 1 and every time she runs up to the target, the target moves and she just keeps chasing it...Yet another balance problem is that a single enemy can navigate through the wall of lead of your 'firing squad', get in melee range and kick the shit out of your guys. What else... There are 3 turn based modes: Continuous TB, while good on paper, does not work; Individual TB is insanely tedious; and Squad TB is something that I still don't quite comprehend (but it could just be my low IQ). ON THE BRIGHT SIDE -- FoT, OVERALL, is a BETTER game than Wasteland 2. Huh, you did not expect that, did you? Both games suck though and both are OPPORTUNISTIC ATTEMPTS at a kind of a rip-off: FoT is a below average Fallout-themed squad-based tactical game, Wasteland 2 is the same kind of a rip-off of the original. If you get FoT, get it at a DEEP discount just to try it out. But I would not advise investing time in it.
