Strategy version of one of the most popular RPG series, Fallout, once again takes us to the post-apocalyptic world of the future. This time around, we become a member of the Brotherhood of Steel – a technologically advanced group with the aim of rebuilding the war-torn world. The goal of the player is to find long-forgotten technologies which will enable the Brotherhood to destroy dangerous enemies.

We are guided towards our goal by missions composed of specific tasks to be performed using our tactical skills. In the single player campaign, we can control a party made up of up to six characters which then can be used in multiplayer mode. The party increase their skills and gain new traits thanks to the experience gained on the battlefields.

We have a big arsenal at our disposal, starting with pistols and ending with rocket launchers, thanks to which we shall vanquish our enemies. Moreover, the combat is not limited to fighting on foot for we can use armed vehicles, both small, one-person jeeps and even six-person armored transporters. The vehicles also serve as equipment storage. The multiplayer mode in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel for PC is meant for the maximum of 18 players which can control 36 party in total.
