Special Tactics is unfortunately as middle-of-the-road as is achievable. Not knowing what you can achieve in a single turn really drags it down from being a fun experience, and it’s a little frustrating that one small change could really elevate it. Ardent tactics fans might glean something out of Special Tactics online component, but unfortunately there’s nothing here to suggest this is in any way a must play.

If you’re fanatically into this particular genre, you’ll probably find Special Tactics challenging in a different way, but not necessarily one of the better games. If you've never played a top-down tactical game, I don’t think this is the one you should dive in with.

Although limited to a handful of maps and even fewer different modes to choose from, it nevertheless endures with the endlessly tense moments of defending your team as they defuse a bomb, or the paranoia inherent with checking every corner as you lead a hostage to safety. A tactical core beats at the heart of Special Tactics then, it’s just a shame that there wasn’t more content built around it to make it feel truly special.
