What is Fallout Tactics (Series)?

Fallout Tactics is a tactical role-playing video game developed by Micro Forté and published by Interplay Entertainment in 2001. It is the third video game to be set in the Fallout universe, following Fallout and Fallout 2, utilizing turn-based combat and focusing on squad tactics and strategy rather than role-playing elements.

The game takes place in the American Midwest in the year 2197 in an alternate timeline diverging from the main Fallout canon after the events of Fallout 2. The player takes control of a squad of the Midwestern chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel as they battle raiders, super mutants, robots, and other threats in the wasteland. Gameplay involves managing a squad of unique soldiers with customizable skills and gear, engaging in isometric turn-based battles across over 40 environments.

The game received fairly positive reviews upon release, with critics praising the setting and tactical combat while criticizing the amount of bugs present. An indirect sequel, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, continued the new gameplay direction to mixed reception before the series returned to its role-playing roots with Fallout 3.
