Feb. 2025

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.

It's vulgar, it's trashy, it's corny, and I f**ing love it One of my all time favorites. Favorites in order - Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics then Fallout 1. I own it on disc but wanted to get it for my Steam account as well. I've played through the game about a dozen times. I probably revisit it every year when the weather starts to cool off. If you're a fan of these turn-based strategy games, you'll probably love this one! HOWEVER, this game also offers CTB mode, which is continuous turn-based, meaning you still have action point usage but running doesn't cost AP, and the battle happens in real-time as opposed to you and the enemy having individual turns. I prefer to play this game in CTB but sometimes strategy requires switching to turn-based, which can easily be done in game. The game has a mix of real life weapons and unique weapons, and a small but cool variety of armor so you can do a bit of customization with your team. You basically use them the exact same way as you would use your main character. 100% recommend, and goes on sale pretty frequently. Don't miss out on this gem!

Oct. 2024

Highly underrated, a very well-designed tactical strategy game set in the Fallout universe, and a great combination of RPG and micro-management RTS elements, it's more like a Fallout version of Men of War/Call to Arms. But the Steam version seems to have some problems when you launch the game, the GoG version doesn't have such issues. If you can't launch the game, try these steps below: 1.Hit the Play button from the Steam launcher as normal. 2.Select Play Windowed (Workaround for Windows 8) 3.Select Play from menu launcher. 4.Install this feature if you don't have DirectPlay. 5.Select Options from the title menu. 6.Select the Display tab in the top middle. 7.Select Default in the bottom left. 8.Select Done. 9.Select Exit. 10.Run as normal from the Steam launcher.

Fallout Tactics is a clunky old RTS that's a blast to play when it works. Pro tip: Run the game in Option 3 "Windows 8" mode. Click the default box in the games graphics settings. Restart the game in Option 1. You can now play fullscreen on windows 11. Here's how to enable the bonus "Springfield" mission. 2001 On disc DLC. Find the file BOS.CFG in the games directory and change {misc.bonusMission} = {false} to true.

April 2024

Fun and quite a bit more involved tactically than you might think, even if you know the episodes and maps you still have to make the right moves to get through in one piece. Super throw-back as far as graphics, but graphics don't make game play, and this is a fun game to play, especially if you came up on the early iterations of Fallout (I remember playing the free mini-level demo like a dozen times before the game even game out,....I'm old, but so what, been playing since pong and ain't gonna stop now, lol)
