More about Gears Tactics

Key features include customizable squads with upgraded skills and loot, aggressive turn-based battles, massive boss fights, and new content like Jack's 20+ skills. The game emphasizes immersive storytelling, survival, and strategic leadership in a post-apocalyptic setting.
