About This Game Gratuitous Tank Battles (GTB) is a unique hybrid of tower-defense, strategy, simulation and RTS. Set in an alternate history timeline where World War I never ends, you are the commander of allied forces fighting right up to the year 2114, where Mechs and lasers are used alongside tanks and rifles. The war continues across Europe, with the allied commanders still locked into the optimistic patriotism of the 1900s.A tower-defense game where you can play as the attacker has been done before, but GTB lets you play the same maps as attacker OR defender, and even lets you save out your attack as a recording to defend against. An online-challenge system lets you upload your custom maps and custom units and attacks for other players to fight against. Speaking of custom units, GTB doesn't have simple pre-built units, but allows you to build them from individual components, and even design the appearance and colors of every single unit. An unlocks system gradually reveals more modules, abilities and unit 'hulls' to experiment with.GTB also features an integrated map editor that lets you trivially change and tweak existing maps, or create entirely new ones, and the process of sharing these custom maps with friends is built right into the game. Combine it with Steam achievements, community, cloud support and more, and you should be kept busy fighting over Europe for another two hundred years./>Key Features Alternate History Tower Defense: Fight a 200 year war to save Europe Play as attacker or defender on any map, even custom ones Fight with Infantry, Tanks, Turrets and Mechs Optional Adaptive AI adjusts to your play style and tactics for endless variety Customizable units allow you to design your own personal army Built-in level editor makes creating a new map a breeze Save out your attack and play against it as the defender Online map and challenge-sharing system allows you to fight your friends armies 6d5b4406ea Title: Gratuitous Tank BattlesGenre: Indie, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Positech GamesPublisher:Positech GamesRelease Date: 17 May, 2012 Gratuitous Tank Battles Download Compressed File Currently plagued with odd steam problems now, but otherwise, still playable when you create a desktop shortcut instead. The unit customization is fun, the unlocks system still rewards you when you lose, and the combat is very frantic and fun when you have the right setup. Tis' a shame that I'm not a tower defense junkie, and I personally found it somewhat boring after a while. Not a bad game, but I hope they provide good support, additional game modes, and some DLC in the future.6\/10 because I'm a tsundere sex symbol.. I love it. And for everyone who hates it just because it's different from Gratuitous Space Battles, and base your argument on hating it on that, go away. It's simply part of the same series of games, but that doesn't mean it can't be different. Just because it's different from the last game doesn't mean it's horrible. In fact, I love it. The customization aspect of both games is great, the mechanics from both games are solid, the graphics aren't the best, but I like the art style. It seems that many people hate that it's a Tower Defense, or maybe hate the asymmetric gameplay. Personally, I like both games and have both installed.. Yeah I dunno, I liked space battles, but this one is whack. There was a certain mission I just couldn't get past no matter what outfit I tried. Maybe I'm just \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665.In any case, it's a bit more involving than space battles, in the sense that you need to build turrets or send out waves of guys in real time.But somehow it's just not as satisfying. Maybe the ship porn of space battles really knocked it up to the 'playable' category.. Gratuitious Space Battles is awesome, this game is not really worth playing though.. Gratuitous Tank Battles can be an incredibly fun and rewarding game. Remember the fun it was to build your own custom ships on games like Master of Orion? GTB is a tower defense game that's like that for every single unit or turret. From the smallest cheap gun to the big strongholds, from inexpensive recruit infantry to heavily shielded mechs.Designing the units is simple, but the management of new and older designs can be a little busywork. But this kind of complexity that usually lacks on modern games is very welcomed.The very fact that this games plays as both a traditional tower defense game and an inverted tower defense game is a testimony to its flexibility. It's a robust selection of units with great variation of strategies you can use to beat the enemy.At least for me, the fact that you can design, customize and name every unit in the field adds to the enjoyment and creates a very fun experience when your guys are winning a battle. It's just most interesting when that tank unit you built to be fast and strong barely makes it to the finish line.Building units is not everything, and the battles are intense and complex.Apart from the built-in campaign, you can edit your own scenarios, and upload and download challenges from other users.If you like Tower Defense games or games with customization, this is a very good choice.
