"Thanks to the guys at Positech Games - a UK based independent developer - darkzero got hands on with the beta release of their latest PC game, Gratuitous Tank Battles. The name Gratuitous might stand out for you if you’re a PC gamer. Their last title was Gratuitous Space Battles, a real-time strategy game where pre-battle planning was the key to successfully destroying the opposite team, as you had no interaction with the units once the battle had begun. It was an interesting take on the genre and made for some spectacular space battles that you could just sit and watch in all their glory."
This week, the Humble Sale has gone back to selling video games, with the titles up for grabs coming from strategy developer Positech Games.
Eskimo Press: "Gratuitous Tank Battles is a tower-defense/RTS hybrid thing set in a world where World War I never ended. Tanks are used alongside mechs and laser riflemen against missile batteries and laser cannons. Sounds cool, right?"
Today the expansion The Western Front for UK indie Gratuitous Tank Battles is available. It's an "alternate-history" tower-defense game involving plenty of tanks which just got a lot more WW2 themed.
The plot of Gratuitous Tank Battles is that the first World War kinda never ended, but got lasers! Now The Western Front pushes it into WW2 as Yanks face the Krauts in Europe through 8 missions.
