Although it did not earn the critical acclaim of its predecessors, Fallout and Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics was well received and scored generally favorable reviews, such as 85% from PC Gamer. The upgraded combat system was often applauded, even if the computer AI would typically not react until shot at by the human player. The major criticisms of Fallout Tactics were its linearity compared to previous Fallout games and its emphasis on combat over open-ended role-playing. Several bugs involving vehicles in the game were never fixed and were potentially frustrating. Unlike Fallout and Fallout 2, most levels of the game are essentially gauntlet levels where one kills everything in order to win. Since this is a very combat-centric game, there is exceedingly little conversation interaction with non-player characters on the maps.

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks.
