TankHead Rolls Out

TankHead is now available, and this Windows vehicular combat roguelite has set up its beachhead exclusively on the Epic Games Store. This puts the player behind the joystick in control of a drone tank doing battle in an inhospitable environment (we'll just have to trust Alpha Channel that this is fictional and they're not pulling an Ender's Game on us). Check out the Launch Trailer for a look and wrap your tankhead around the description:
Embark on a thrilling journey as Whitaker, piloting a drone-controlled tank through the desolate ECA. Battle fierce enemies, scavenge valuable parts, and fight to survive in this fast-paced sci-fi world, as you strive to reach the mysterious Highpoint.

As Whitaker your goal is to fight to reach Highpoint, to do that you must traverse the ECA – an area where humans cannot survive. Whitaker must project his mind into a Needle, a robust drone capable of surviving in the harsh conditions of the ECA – and of piloting your Tank. Use your Needle and Tank to combat the vehicles and creatures of the ECA to reach Highpoint.

Explore the ECA a world torn apart by war and a mysterious cataclysmic event that left it uninhabitable by humans. Where humans must “tele-project” their minds into drones in order to survive and pillage the remains of a once great society.

Your vehicle of choice is a Light Tank; capable of moving quickly and delivering devastating damage to your enemies and the reactive world around you. Your tank can be equipped with various weapons, armor, wheels, motors and abilities to customize your gameplay.

Use a variety of weaponry to dismantle your enemies, blow off parts, to get a clear shot at their vulnerable weak points to deliver decisive blows. Defeated enemies leave behind their remaining parts for you to salvage or steal. Take what you need, scrap the rest. Use everything to survive.
