Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is a tactical role-playing game set in the Fallout universe. Unlike the latest installments in the series, which are known for their open-world exploration and real-time gameplay, the game shifts focus to squad-based tactical combat.
The game takes place in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the United States, specifically in the Midwest, and is set in the early years following the events of Fallout 2. Players lead a group of soldiers from the Brotherhood of Steel, a faction dedicated to preserving technology and protecting humanity from mutated threats.
Gameplay emphasizes strategy, as players must manage a squad of characters, each with unique abilities and traits. The tactical battles employ a turn-based system, allowing players to plan their moves carefully. Players can customize their characters with various skills, weapons, and equipment, making each playthrough potentially different.
The narrative involves a mix of missions that require players to tackle challenges such as rescuing captives, engaging in skirmishes with hostile factions, and exploring the ruined remnants of civilization. While it features a darker and grittier tone typical of the Fallout series, Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is distinct for its focus on military tactics and strategy.
