Throughout the game, you battle with all the staple Gears of War Locust enemies, as well as a few new ones that complement the strategy experience.
Sliding into cover, in fact, gives you a few more meters of movement per action point to play with, which can help set up flanking maneuvers.

Enemy mobs all take their turns simultaneously and relatively quickly, restricting how much time you have to wait between turns.

You can reduce the number of statistics and hit chances on-screen, and give it a more arcade feel if you so prefer. Gears Tactics does a fair bit to let you tailor your UI.
