BattleTanx — About this game
A civil war has left rival tribes fighting over America's ruins, and Griffin joins the conflict to find his missing love. Story mode assigns your tank and mission as the campaign advances, rewarding completed stages with passwords. Battle Mode lets you choose a vehicle and level for a quick attempt or practice. Fast Mototanks, balanced M1A1s and armoured Goliaths offer different trade-offs. Read each briefing: destroying enemies, reaching a destination or collecting mission items can require a different route through the streets.
