Rogue Tanks

Rogue Tanks is a top-down tank combat game for 1 to 4 players. In the campaign, you fight through 20 randomly selected rooms drawn from 54 hand-crafted levels. Defeat every enemy in a room to choose an upgrade for your tank, and complete special challenge rooms and other missions during each run.

Campaign and upgrades

You can play the campaign alone or locally with up to three other players. Special bosses include 4-directional, lob-shot and homing missile tanks; defeating them unlocks them as playable tanks. Each of the four tanks fires differently, and you can customize their appearance with 35 skins.

After clearing a room, choose an upgrade to improve your tank. Options include increasing movement or bullet speed, reducing reload time, adding bounce to shots, reinforcing armor and increasing bullet capacity. In co-op, you can choose to revive a fallen ally instead of taking an upgrade.

Game modes

All modes support up to four local players. Campaign and Survivor support 1 to 4 players, while Battle and Race support 2 to 4.

• Campaign: Fight through 20 randomly chosen rooms from the 54-level pool, completing missions and taking upgrades as you go.
• Survivor: Choose any level unlocked in the campaign and survive for as long as possible with any tank. Earn an upgrade at each enemy-defeat milestone as the difficulty and enemy count rise over time. The game records your best time and most enemies defeated for each level.
• Battle: Fight other players, earning a point for each tank you defeat and choosing an upgrade when you are defeated. End the match by reaching a chosen point total or by having the most points when the timer expires; you can set the point total or match time.
• Race: Race to four points placed randomly around the map to complete each lap while fighting endless enemy waves. Choose the map, number of laps and enemy intensity.

Levels and records

The game has four environments: desert, forest, metal and space. You can turn friendly fire on or off to adjust how much players must cooperate, and toggle the timer to practice speedrunning.

There are 36 missions, including challenges that require campaign runs with special conditions, such as using a specific tank or never choosing a particular upgrade. In co-op, each player can pursue different missions. The game saves campaign records for each tank type, including best time, shots fired and damage taken, as well as individual records for Survivor, Battle and Race.
