A multiplayer game where you control a tank in space and try to annihilate your friends? On paper it sounds excellent and gladly in practise, it’s superb fun! https://youtu.be/qOKjFYV8LRU Your objective is to kill the guy inside your opponent’s tanks. This is done by first destroying the tank and then trying to shoot the ejected pilot before he can land back on a planet and respawn a new tank. There's a variety of ways to die which keeps things fresh e.g. tank fire, bombs, being rammed by a fast flying tank, being off screen too long, impact to a planet/sun, etc. There are a number of weapons at your disposal with more planned and it sounds like there may be possible load out choices in the future. Main things to consider currently is that the full early-access version is local multiplayer only, but the steam beta version which is easily accessible is online multiplayer. This seems to be coming along really well and I've been playing games with friends with no problems at a...

It's been 18 months since a dev has posted a thing about this game. It will be forever unfinished. Too bad. It was a good concept.
Unfortunately seems to be abandoned, and due to some issues with the game detecting my controllers I haven`t even been able to really play it. I have however seen some footage of the game; it seems pretty fun if you can get it to work. Wouldn`t recommend you try though, as even if you get it working I doubt it would be much fun for more than an hour or so.
This game is really fun, but there is no way to play against random opponents online. The game advertises a "matchmaking" feature, but there is none. I talked one of my friends into trying it out during the free weekend and we had a lot of fun, but if we are limited to invite-only or playing against bots then I cannot recommend this game.
So this game has me all sorts of happy. It's like combining Worms with the mechanics from Angry Birds in Space, and all of that in real time! Upgrades are awesome, and this game delivers. I'm pretty sure they are making more of them, but the ones they have right now provide enough fun to keep me going. I've been playing a ton of this. The bots are getting smarter, and online multiplayer is on the horizon. I've been giving a ton of feedback and the devs are incredibly accessible, but know that they have a vision for this game and they're going to see it through. The art is fantastic, the sounds are awesome, and the music is great. It's a great party game with a bunch of big moments that have you talking about it for days. Thanks for the great fun! I can't wait to see how this game grows.
I can't recommend this game in the current state that it is in. It's got many bugs, very little gameplay variation, no online support, and in general it just feels like it is way too early to be released for early access. It's too early and I hate that this has become a trend in PC gaming. This game is STILL in early access??????
It's too difficult to control, too hectic, and everything is too small when playing on a TV. Unfortunately, just not fun enough because of these reasons. Needs some more work, but devs seems absent unfortunately.
Fun little game, with lovely (albeit limited) physical shooting mechanism and great looks, but I can't recommend it at the moment. Mainly because there's no "real" online multiplayer, you can only play with people locally or online with those in your friends list - no lobby and no self-hosted games. If you have 3 friends who want to play often, it could be fun, but for me I am too busy due to life/work, so I just want to jump into a match sometimes. Therefore I could just play a match against bots, which felt unsatisfying. Other problems imo: - controls feel a bit clunky sometimes, but are generally fine. - Not enough power ups & difference in weapons. - The automatic zoom is annoying and broken, manual zoom would be much better. Some user reported that he get's killed because the camera zoomed in and therefore he was out of the match area (which kills you after 3 sec). - No ability to rebind keys, set mouse-sensitivity etc. - Game menu controls are clunky. - No timer for your ...
Pros: Incoming, watch your heads! ................ BOOM! Cons: [h1]Your attention please : this is Early Access Game[/h1]
