About

Uncommon Tanks

Features
Read full description

Uncommon Tanks is a pixel-art artillery duel: aim, adjust for wind, and fire. Climb a forty-duel ladder across four theatres, each one capped by a commander who fights in phases, shedding armor as the duel wears on. Choose a hull — each carries a signature ability that never costs you a shot — and build an arsenal of shells, homing rounds, and battlefield-altering ordnance. The ground is not scenery: every blast reshapes the terrain it lands on, and what you dig out stays dug out. FEATURES - Classic artillery duels: angle, power, and wind, with a real flight path - Forty duels across four theatres, each ending in a commander fight - Six hulls, each with its own signature ability and playstyle - A destructible battlefield: craters, chain reactions, and standing hazards that spread - An arsenal of ordnance to unlock and carry into battle - Daily challenges and achievements to chase - Online play: turn-based duels through Game Center Angle. Power. Wind. Fire.
