Our take on Tanks vs Aliens
The store page gives substantial space to the 2152 crisis and its named characters, but the playable scope is presented more briefly: 30 levels, 7 modes, 8 tank classes, combat, credits, and upgrades. The narrative framing is clearer than the differences between those modes.
What is Tanks vs Aliens?
Set in 2152, this real-time strategy and base-defense game follows a tank pilot responding to an alien-organism outbreak.
Autonomous military vehicles have gone out of control after an asteroid strike, and the pilot works with RobX to contain the crisis. The campaign includes 30 levels and 7 game modes. Players choose among 8 tank classes, destroy enemy tanks and bases, collect credits, and upgrade their vehicles. The story also involves the artificial intelligence K. O. R. B. , the RobX corporation, and Rogan, a creature connected to the outbreak. Progress depends on using different strategies to pursue high results while freeing towns and cities from the attacking machines.
