About Gears of War 4
Gears of War 4 is a third-person shooter, a follower of Gears of War 3, set 25 years after its events. The game combines classic shooter mechanics with tactical elements and changing weather conditions that directly affect the gameplay.
The story is set on Sera planet where humanity survives one threat after another. The peace reached after the war with Locust didn’t last for long. The Coalition, the ruling force, is confronted by Outsiders who claim the current order to be a military dictatorship. You take on the role of J.D. Fenix, Marcus Fenix’s son as he joins Outsiders and helps them in their struggle.
In its core Gears of War 4 is a position shooter with a cover system and quick shifting to melee combat. The number of enemies, their specifications and upgraded AI bring tactical elements to the game, as you need to plan your strategy during fights. The campaign rotates intense battles, kind of tower defense missions and exploration, making the action dynamic and involving.
