This setting is the default, and it allows all characters to move simultaneously with the expenditure of action points for all endeavors other than running and walking. Continuous turn-based play is an exciting alternative to the other options, but at the same time it eliminates a lot of the game's tactical element in favor of manual dexterity and mastering the keyboard hotkeys. Thankfully, you can switch back and forth between gameplay modes at any time. Everything is drawn with highly-detailed 2D tiles, albeit with some Direct3D support. The musical score is about what you'd expect to be playing behind scenes of nuclear devastation, though the tunes are perhaps a little too depressing for the action-oriented gameplay.
Atmospheric sounds are well-done but sparse.
It would be nice to hear a little more of the wasteland, if that's possible. A Worthy Effort Fallout Tactics is worthy of its name, even if it isn't the true successor to the series that many have been hoping for. It offers even veterans of tactical gaming a smart challenge that they certainly won't beat overnight. The only real flaw is that continuous turn-based mode leaves a little to be desired. It's simply too frenetic in spots for some tastes.
