Gears of War is a third person shooter game series, with an over-the-shoulder style camera that follows the action up close.

The story follows a group of war heroes who are fighting to protect humanity from hordes of aliens.

The series focuses on using cover to tactically engage the enemy in battle to avoid taking damage. While behind cover, the player can fire blindly, throw grenades, or aim away from cover and fire.

The player can regenerate their health by staying out of harm’s way for a short while.

If a player is incapacitated, they can be ‘revived’ by another teammate within a certain time limit.
