Tactical - Games

In gaming, 'tactical' refers to mechanics demanding deliberate, moment-to-moment decision-making. It emphasizes positioning, resource management, and anticipating opponent moves over pure reflexes. This manifests in turn-based strategy, real-time tactics, or shooters with slow, methodical pacing. Core elements include line-of-sight, cover systems, action points, and fog of war. The concept symbolizes a cerebral challenge where victory is earned through foresight and adaptation, rewarding patience and strategic depth over brute force.
