The use of Fallout Tactics to name the game in articles is recommended to avoid confusion.įallout Tactics has gameplay similar to real-time strategy games. The game focuses on squad-based combat and introduces near real-time combat, called 'continuous turn-based' by the developers. Unlike the previous two Fallout games, Fallout Tactics emphasizes tactical combat and strategy, not roleplaying. Players are not able to respond to non-player characters, but they can still trade and gamble. Instead of towns, Fallout Tactics centers around Brotherhood bunkers and missions. The bunkers serve as a central point for the Brotherhood, and players can obtain the services of quartermasters, mechanics, personnel yeomen, and medics. Characters from completed missions occasionally visit the bunkers.Īfter receiving a mission briefing from the general in charge of the bunker, the player's squad can then move to the area where the mission will take place. Among these locations are towns, factories, military encampments, or even a Vault.
