Steel Crew

Steel Crew is a tank-versus-tank combat game where you crew a tank with up to two friends and fight in 4-on-4 tank battles. Each tank has a detailed interior, and its crew works together in three roles: driver, gunner and commander.

Crew the tank

The driver handles the tank’s manual gearbox and can see its current health. Their view is limited, so they often rely on the commander for directions. Driving with the hatch open improves the driver’s view and helps them spot other tanks, but leaves them vulnerable to machine-gun fire.

The gunner operates the main gun and coaxial machine gun. They have a periscope and a magnified scope, but their view is limited and they may need help from the driver and commander to find targets. With motion controllers, aiming uses separate cranks for elevation and traverse, plus a lever for powered traverse, which is faster but less precise.

The commander has no direct control over the tank, but can see the surrounding area. They are the only crew member with a map showing their position, friendly tanks, and capture points with their current status. With the hatch open, they can use a monocular to spot enemy tanks, though they are then vulnerable to machine-gun fire. Commanders can also call in airstrikes and coordinate attacks by talking to other commanders on their team.

Play in VR or on screens

Steel Crew is designed with VR as its focus, but also supports gamepads and mouse and keyboard, both in VR and on traditional screens.
