As someone who adores Fallout 1 & 2, I decided to give Fallout Tactics a try, it is also my first experience in playing a real time squad strategy game. Just to be upfront, if you are expecting this game play or be anything like the first two games, THIS IS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL. This game honestly was challenging at first to get into, but once you get past the first 2-3 missions, you fall into a rhythm that works for this game. It is considerably slower than FO 1 & 2 in terms of gameplay, and it asks you to do a lot of thinking, but it rewards you for being able be cleaver about how you approach combat, giving you a lot of agency o how to pick your fights. This game still features things from the OG games like S.P.E.C.I.A.L (but across your whole squad), an overworld map to traverse and have random encounters in, and a story that while is still not officially cannon (according to Emile Pagilarulo, but at this point who takes his opinion seriously anymore), still features the iconic Ron Pearman narration, and still has an interesting overarching story in of itself that tells a unique perspective of how the Brotherhood of Steel operates. Unfortunately, this game is old. And from other reviews I have seen on the product page, it may be a coinflip if it works. I would recommend, if it does not launch for you on a Steam copy, you refund it and pick it up on GOG where there may be additional patches that will help it work on modern systems. The game is worth a try if you love the Fallout universe, and if you have played everything else and want to try something new.

It’s okay I guess, I personally enjoyed it. The most important thing you should know is that it’s *very* different from the other games. It barely has any of the rpg elements. Heck, you can’t even speak with any of the NPCs (you can interact with them but can’t respond), and there isn’t a speech skill. But the gameplay itself is fine for the most part. It’s basically Jagged Alliance but simpler and with a Fallout coat of paint. In terms of mods you only really have Redux and Equilibrium, which improve the gameplay, make the game harder, add new quests, etc. If you’re experiencing technical issues and/or crashes then install DDrawCompat. Overall I recommend atleast trying Fallout Tactics. It’s not great but it’s not the worst thing ever.

Every grand plan crumbles with the first gunshot — and this game never lets you forget it.

fallout but instead of killing one guy endlessly you kill four guys endlessly

Tactics is often hailed as one of the worse Fallout games but it's really not. It's one of the times that they decided to do something different with the IP and I frankly think it worked rather well. Instead of really being an RPG it's a turn based squad strategy game with the Fallout elements all there. I played it when it first came out and I've always had a soft spot for it. They took several parts from this game and used them in later Fallout entries also. I think if you like Fallout, you'll like this.
