Some of the powerups grant defensive advantages, such as shield, cloak or radar. (Or in multiplayer, each faction gets one or more beginning powerups). Along with this are powerups littered around the stage. “Powerup”Įvery tank comes with their basic gun. POWERUPS: This is another part of the game that really shinned for me.
However, while it lasts, it is a nice diversion.
These sections helped with the lives if you ever needed them since lives were easy to get here. I remember when using cheats you frankly had to self-destruct (press All C buttons at once) to end. Eventually they peaked at a difficulty, though it was very difficult to go on forever. This was always fun to do, since the waves got progressively harder. In between a set amount of campaign missions, usually at the end of each cleared “theme” you are given a mini-game where you control your Tracked Goliath tank and must hold off an unlimited amount of enemy tanks rushing you in waves. Still, it is usually very possible to build up a boatload of lives over the course of the game so you are never cursing for losing halfway through the game. The life aspect is a little bit annoying though since this was a home console game never actually released in an arcade, and there are a couple of levels that seriously wish to drain you of your lives. Collecting enough of these points will reward you with an extra life. But this simplicity is what makes BattleTanx easy to pickup and play, and strangely addictive.Ĭontinuing with the arcade feel, you gain points for picking up powerups and destroying enemy tanks.
The game never gets any more complicated than this. Also, point A to point B navigation missions are included. This includes clearing all the enemies on the stage, or bringing all the “Queen Lords” AKA, the flags, back to your base. IE, you have a short goal per mission, and must do it. CAMPAIGN: First of all this game reminds me of those Coin-op arcade games, and plays similarly to it.
