Panzer Dragoon
,

The first feedback is already very warm.

be

Gears Tactics

Already released on PC,
Gears Tactics
had received a very warm welcome when it was released.
This tactical RPG is in line with an

, with strategy game mechanics, turn-based and a good dose of skill.
While it doesn't look like a next-gen game,

remains a top-flight title, which also belongs to one of console's most beloved franchises.
