Well, how do I describe this one? It’s a Rogue-lite/roguelike City-Builder Action Tank Defence Tower defence game. Phew.
This is again a game I stumbled upon from a random Instagram Reels video. The gameplay is quite unique, but might be too simple/repetetive for some? Mind you, I’ve only played the Demo with just a couple of levels, but the potential is really here. What I can tell from the Demo is that the city building is solid and the controls and the Tank Mechanics is butter smooth! Wow! It reminds me somewhat of those Tank io games or something(If my memory serves). Just with more substance since you rescue people and build a city! As well as upgrade your weapons ina rogue-like manner! This game is on my Personal Wishlist for sure! Looking forward to a thorough gameplay test closer to release. Tha graphics are cute and good looking!
Current release date: Q1 2026
