Q: How many years before the first Gears of War does the game take place?
A: Gears Tactics takes place 12 years before the first Gears of War game.
Q: Why is Gabe Diaz's mission considered desperate?
A: Gabe Diaz's mission is considered desperate because the Locust Horde poses a monstrous threat, and with the government in disarray, his squad represents humanity's last hope for survival.
Q: What kind of combat system does the game use?
A: Gears Tactics uses a uniquely brutal turn-based tactical combat system.
Q: What is the main threat that the game's characters are facing?
A: The main threat facing the characters in Gears Tactics is the Locust Horde, monstrous creatures who are rising from underground and attacking cities.
Q: Can you play the game online with other players?
A: This game offers a multiplayer feature.
A: More turn based combat instead RTS style like Halo Wars. I would definitely recommend it.
Q: Is this a battle game, story game, or both?
A: It's a battle game but not like you expect. You can't just run out shooting your opponents. You have to choose where on the map they move and who you're trying to kill. You only get a certain amount of tries before it's the other teams turn. It's really not fun if you're used to regular Gears.

Explore multiple haunted mansions with Luigi and his ghost-hunting Poltergust 5000. Progress through diverse missions to retrieve the missing shards of the Dark Moon scattered across several distinct haunted mansions, each with their own puzzles to solve and ghosts to capture. Use your superpowered ghost-hunting tool, the Poltergust 5000, to suck up ghosts (and window curtains) and blow air to search every nook and cranny of the chilling-yet-charming mansions. This spooky fun adventure, originally released for the Nintendo 3DS system, is now visually enhanced in HD on the Nintendo Switch system. Friendly ghosts turned fiendish—sounds like a job for Luigi! The Dark Moon that hangs over Evershade Valley seems to have a calming effect on the ghosts that reside there. The quirky Professor E. Gadd has been studying the friendly spirits. But when the Dark Moon suddenly breaks apart and falls into the valley below, the once-friendly ghosts become hostile. Luigi must stumble into action and summon his courage to restore the Dark Moon to its rightful place in the sky. Tackle the ScareScraper together. You and up to three players can team up to take on the challenges of the ScareScraper, a haunted building teeming with ghosts and challenges not found in the main adventure. Recruit your fellow ghost hunters to scale the terrifying tower locally or online.
