Special Tactics Reviews

This game is okay if you have a friend or two to play against with Though I have to warn you that the developer is a bit lazy and he is currently taking a break from programming =( so don't expect any new updates and other fancy stuff But this is a damn good strategy game, go for it if you are really into strategy games

Not a bad game, essentially it's a cross between Doorkickers and Frozen Synapse, while also having incredibly simple controls. Now, the game is a mobile port, but it's solid. There's only a handful of different gamemodes, but only a 'Search and Destroy' style gamemode for playing against other players. Gameplay wise, it's a perfect blend of fast paced action while still retaining some tactical knowledge. It's not 'turn-based' in a the typical fashion. Each 'turn' is five seconds, where you and your enemy both make their respective moves at the same time. Each planning phase lasts about a minute, enough time to think and a little to adjust yourself. As in your squad of course. All in all, I'd give the game a 7~8, 8 might sound generous and would definitely be 8, but the playerbase is small now. When you do find a player though, this game is a blast, I'd recommend playing with friends.

Nice mix of thought and action- and tough! Gives your small unit tactics skills a good workout..

Cool game and all though, Playing agaisnt players with silenced gear is no fun, Information is limited where Silenced players usually leave no trace if you were camera was not the specific place you were getting shot from, Will be taking my money back for now, Might buy the game in the future, Suggestions: With the small community playing the game, At least set some balancing in terms of equipment, I just started the game played through some campaing missions then played multiplayer matches where I was matched up with silvers who had full silenced gear. Feels like the enemy is hacking when he can get his/her soldiers behind my lines in 2 turns,

This game is really interesting, it take back the principles of a good tactic game with the elements of CS. The parts multiplayers will never be alike because the composition of the team of your enemy will almost never be the same. And we have an active developer it's perfect for this game which is a promoter.Nothing is overpowed all classe have him désaventages. It's a good game.

Can't figure out why this game has possitive reviews. The movement and combat mechanics are clunky and awkward. The animations are stiff and these "tactical" characters unload an entire magazine each turn into an enemy when they attack. Door Kickers and Breach & Clear already did everything this game does but better.

My Personal Rating for this game: 8/10 Special Tactics is an amazingly in-depth game. Looking at it head on may not seem like the best thing to do but when you go into the gameplay more, you'll find every decision you make can and will change the outcome of each single player mission. The tutorial paves a fantastic route for new players to get into the game. Game Engine wise, it will and CAN play on almost EVERY system (unless you're playing on a really crappy potato machine) The game has many different mechanics from grenade deployment, boosters (this are free every round. No IAPs), movement, vision tracking and more. The mechanics may look simple but you will slowly and gradually get used to it and find out you can do a lot of more complicated plan adjustment. Multiplayer seems to be dead at least from my standpoint The game itself does not look great and may disappoint some of you guys out there (I know I am a bit disappointed at the graphics). It is priced at a cheap $10.50 but till now, I don't feel like I have my full money's worth just yet. This is probably due to me playing a lot of value based games instead of this. Yes, I paid the full price in case anyone was wondering.

I don't leave many negative reviews, but this game hurts to play. I absolutely love tactics games, and I loved Door Kickers (the game this one is trying to be like), but I can not recommend Special Tactics at all. Please just save up the money and purchase Door Kickers if you are looking for a game like this, they did it way better. I hadn't tryed the multiplayer mode yet, and maybe that's where it shines, but the single player campaign is very unbalanced and just isn't fun.

This game is quite fun for being in early access and I would say it's quite worth the money. Pros: -The game has a very good tutorial, which makes it easy to learn -It has a pretty fun campaign -The multiplayer is also quite fun and even more fun if you play with a friend. -No lag / connection issues in multiplayer so far Cons: -You can't type whatever you'd like to say in multiplayer. (There's a box where you choose phrases to say) That's pretty much the only con I've found so far.

This game was a good idea, but still feels like it should be in early access. Would recommend if it was updated to show things like better line of sight, and was more clear on what areas are walls and what aren't. The AI sometimes does very stupid things. Get the game on sale for at least 60% off in its current condition of today.
