Four-player tank brawler "Treadnauts" recently entered early access on Feb. 3.
Alongside its Steam debut, the developers — Topstitch Games —– also decided to bring in a new in-game battle mode in the form of flying tank battles.
According to PC Gamer, the latest addition involves tanks that can run up walls, strap on jetpacks, and take off into the air. It is a bouncy and action-packed release that adds a certain oomph and level of chaos to the already action-oriented tank game. The release also helps make battles a lot more volatile, with players now able to jump and dodge their enemy's attacks. Whether or not this will play out well in the game competitive mode is yet to be seen.
Despite only being available for a few days, "Treadnauts" has received mostly positive reviews on Steam. Most of the comments on game distribution website Steam commended the game for its graphics, art style, and in-game controls. Many also pointed out that the new flying tanks did a lot to make battles and gameplay feel a lot more lively and exciting for everyone involved.
Despite its early access status "Treadnauts" offers a handful of things for players to do. The game currently has four playable zones (each with their own unique mechanics and objects), the couch-competitive mode for two to three players, online competitive mode, single-player target practice, different levels for players to tackle, and a lot of items that help shake things up in-game.
The game is currently available for purchase on Steam for 10 percent less, and the official synopsis reads:
"Treadnauts launches 4-player tank brawls into the sky. Drive up all the walls! Rocket jump onto the roof! Disrespect your friends by squashing them like tiny bugs! Shoot bullets out of the air! Move with style!"
"Treadnauts" is the perfect game for those looking for a tank brawler with an interesting physics engine. The game does not rely merely on shooting, but on accuracy and strategy as well.
