A squad-level game on Fallout mechanics.

The tactical offspring of Fallout 2. Original Fallout games had great combat mechanics with potential for tactical variety... but fights in these games were shootouts, mostly fought indoors or as random encounters where both parties start in open 20 meters apart. Combat in Fallout 1 and 2 was all about trading volumes of fire at close range to kill enemies before they overwhelm players AI-controlled allies. Tactics is a squad-level game that makes full use of this wasted potential. Player controls the whole squad and is able to develop its abilities (with player character being the leader, rather than micromanaged 20m ranged DPS powerhouse of RPGs). Fights take place in varied, open areas, letting player make use of terrain, engage enemies on ones own terms, and experiment with weapons that were useless in RPGs (long range in particular). Fights are won less by awesome builds of character(s) and more by ability to concentrate fire of whole squad from safe position. Back when released, this game received a lot of criticism and comparison with Fallout 2 (which was what Fallout fans wanted more of). The fact that RPG veterans like me tried to play it the way they knew (turn squad of six into six 20 meters DPS powerhouses then micromanage them) didn't help, either. When played as its own thing, it's a fun tactical game with great weapon variety and soldier customisation options. (Back in the day this game has also received lots of flak for its specific portrayal of Fallout universe. But this was before Beshenda Fallout, which made it look good in comparison).

My first Fallout

The interesting thing with Fallout series is that whatever game people play first, it's usually their favourite. I love Fallout Tactics. I can understand that those who played the original or Fallout 2 first, may have different feelings but for me, it was hours, days and weeks of amazing experience. I actually got properly addicted to it. When I played it the second or third time (it was around 20 years ago) I got to the point that I had to break the DVD to stop myself. In its own kind (which is not the same as any other Fallout) this game is close to perfect. I tried Desperados after and I hated it. It wasn't even close. I'm not aware of any other game offering a similar experience. If anyone knows, please tell me as I really like it. Now I'm gonna play it again so may need a therapist soon. Try it! It may not be your thing but if you get into it you will never regret it.

It's just so fiddly.

Fallout Tactics, the grey sheep of the series: not quite the black sheep of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, but it's just a matter of shades. I tried to like this game: I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it twice before ultimately dropping it. I think it remains obscure for a reason. There is not one big flaw I can point at. It's a cavalcade of minor issues that get in the way of enjoying the game. I can usually brush those aside - I've quite the tolerance for old game awkwardness, but there is just so much of it. The game runs in real time by default, but without a pause button, it's hard to do any precise work like VATS shots. In truth, everything's running on the same skeleton as the first two Fallout games, and there ARE two turn-based modes... but the game wasn't designed around using those either. It slows everything to a crawl, and on some levels, you'll be sitting for half a minute as unalerted enemies go about their turns... oh, and the UI for figuring out your movement costs is a pain. Regardless of mode, sightlines are important, more so than in the older games because of the new stance system, but you're getting no preview or display, so you'll just have to guess and hope for the best. And when the fighting is done and it's time to loot? The Fallout inventory system was designed for one hero with maybe some helpers, not squads of up to six. Have fun fighting with the range restrictions when you're trying to transfer gear, and then, once you get back to base, moving all your gear to the one squadmate with Barter so you can get a reasonable amount of scrip for your trouble. There is so much more. The pathfinding in general is messy, melee sucks, some skills are nigh-useless... It's all too much for the six or so hours I ended up spending on the game. And, yeah, that's the game. It's combat missions strung together by a basic plot. If you don't like that gameplay, you don't have a reason to play, and I didn't, so I won't. Maybe you will?

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! :)
