Tank Maniacs

Tank Maniacs is a local multiplayer combat game for one to four players. In a post-apocalyptic world, the Showrunner stages battles between infamous veterans and exotic warrior creatures in arenas built to entertain the remaining population. You drive unusual tanks and try to eliminate the competition while environmental hazards and powerful upgrades can quickly change the fight.

The Showrunner's arena

After the Post-Nuclear War, most of the population is gone. A brilliant man known as the Showrunner created Tank Maniacs as entertainment for the survivors. He keeps the fighters aboard his city-sized zeppelin, which contains a fully functioning tank factory, until they are ready to compete.

The pilots battle in peculiar arenas from across the Post-Nuclear world, including places the audience may never be able to visit. Eight levels have distinct features, and their challenges vary.

Modes and multiplayer

You can play free-for-all or team-based combat with friends, or take on unforgiving AI bots. The game has four modes, with team-based variations. Multiplayer is local; Steam Remote Play Together lets you play online with friends who do not own the game.

Tanks and fighters

There are 11 tanks, each with unusual gameplay mechanics, including the Thanksgiving “Turkey Tank,” and 12 characters. Learning how the tanks work and getting to know the maps can help you succeed in the arena.

Audience participation

Dynamic commentary accompanies the matches. Twitch integration lets viewers vote on in-game events through a Twitch extension, helping or disrupting the players on the battlefield. Viewers can take part from desktop or mobile.
