Tank Tactics is a tank shooter with puzzle elements and nifty game mechanics. You play a tank operator that is fighting his way through evil autonomous corporate tanks. You collect weapons on the way and you can combine them to build your own flavor of tank.
Originally Tank Tactics started as a dream by Programmer Eric Smith. His vision was to create a game in which you can blow things up in a hundred different fun ways. He went and found a web based team to help improve his game and publish it. With a German music, Dutch graphics and level design 3 years in the making Tank Tactics is here to serve you some war!
In our story a massive amount of investments into autonomous, self-operating weapons and tanks left the global balance of power in detrimental chaos. Maliciously programmed machines have grown rampant and it is up to you to fight the soulless machines to once again restore world reign to humanity. Futuristic technology allows you to upload your consciousness to a tank’s computer and use it as an extension of your body.
Play this feature-rich, balls to the walls tank shooter that will tickle you blue! 24 months in the making and we are proud to present: Tank Tactics

Lots of Levels: Over 100 levels packed with action and intriguing puzzles!
Combinable Weapons: Any two weapons can be linked together to create more powerful, and more devastating weapons.
Gravity Wells: Gravity wells interact with all the bullets in the room like a black hole, either by pushing them away or pulling them in.

Smart AI: The bad guys in Tank Tactics actively avoid the bullets you shoot at them as well as shoot them out
of the air. In addition to that they also calculate trajectories to hit
the player when hiding behind obstacles.

Tank Tactics has its own character. It’s a flavor of awesome that can only be described as ‘find the best way to blow stuff up’. We were inspired by arcade and console games such as
