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.
