The mod was originally released in 2012, and is currently at version 1.3. FOT Redux is a wide-ranging modification of Fallout Tactics, and the mod's basic goal is to make the game more fun. Yet the game has many strengths as well- an easy to use game editor for end-users, good artwork using tile-based pre-rendered backgrounds, an engine that supports turn-based tactical combat, and an interesting setting which provides fertile ground for exploring narratives in the military science-fiction and post-apocalyptic genres.įallout Tactics Redux was the first published attempt to make pervasive, fundamental revisions and improvements of the original game's single-player campaign experience, and remains the only fully developed major effort to offer comprehensive reforms. The game quickly became notorious for many issues of poor quality and design- the development cycle was rushed, there was little playtesting by developers to expose glaring defects, and in overall design the game seems to have been made by folks not particularly knowledgeable about the sort of gameplay experiences players seek in tactical combat games. Nearly fifteen years ago, the game Fallout Tactics was released by Microforte and Interplay.
