Gratuitous Tank Battles Demo

[Jun 13, 2012, 10:28 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Gratuitous Tank Battles Website now offers a playable demo for this RTS/tower defense hybrid follow-up to Gratuitous Space Battles. There are no details on what this sample of the game includes, so here's a reminder of what the game itself involves:

Gratuitous Tank Battles is the spiritual successor to indie hit 'Gratuitous Space Battles', the 'hands-off' battle simulation set in a universe at perpetual war. GTB is set in an alternate earth history where World War I never ends, and Axis fights Allies across Europe in the year 2114 complete with a mix of Tanks, Infantry and futuristic mechs.

Tower defense is really starting to feel tired and overdone now. I'll give this a fair shot as I do with all indies though. It may surprise me. What with his talk about wanting to break through the $10 indie "barrier" I actually expected his next game to be more ambitious. Anyway, from what I've seen of videos he's added stuff to this game, he's got a good tower defense game, and I want it, but not at $20.

I've played the demo and I am liking it. One problem I've had with the demo however is it freezes if I try to exit or click on buy. I've had to Alt+Ctrl+Del out of it and then close unresponsive application.
The problem with that is the demo does not save my progress/unlocks.

Does anyone else have this problem?
I am running W7-64

Runs a lot better than I expected. I don't know if I could comprehend the game enough to seriously enjoy it though.

As soon as this hits a decent steam sale, I'll pick it up. It looks like a fun tower defense game with lots of features. I like that it offers being able to play either side.
