The rest of the squad can be used as cannon fodder if you wish, but that type of thinking won’t get you very far very fast. If this character dies, it’s game over. Playing as one of several pre-generated characters or creating your own custom persona. You will lead a squad of up to six soldiers through a series of 20 massive missions. As an initiate in the Brotherhood of Steel, your clan is dedicated to restoring the world to its former technological brilliance by any means necessary. As I recall, it gets a bit off the rails over the final mission or two because the high-end power armor and weapons are grossly overpowered, but I had fun with that too: I suffered as a half-naked wastelander with a sharp stick at the beginning of the game, and so at the end of the game, it's payback time.If you’re familiar with the two Fallout role-playing games, Tactics actually takes place in the time period between these two games. As a concept, it misses what makes Fallout great-the open-ended roleplaying in an often surprising world-but the combat simulation is quite good, and it does follow a coherent (and, by comparison, compact) story from start to finish. It's not an RPG, but rather a squad-based tactical game in the Fallout world. I actually prefer the darker tone of the first Fallout, but in terms of scale and variety, Fallout 2 cannot be beat.įallout Tactics is the black sheep in the group, but in all honesty I think it deserves better than it got. Fallout 2 is particularly notorious for this-this Reddit thread really cuts to the heart of the matter, and thankfully also has some helpful pointers-but trust me, once you're through the Temple of Trials, the game will not disappoint. They're definitely products of their era, that being the late '90s, a time when videogames demanded that players work for their success. Fallout 1 and 2 are rightfully famous as groundbreaking post-apocalypse RPGs: Dark, violent, funny in spots, and-fair warning-not the easiest games in the world to get into at first.
