How it plays
How does Tank Force play?
The game uses a top-down view. Players move tanks through maze-like battlefields, destroy enemy vehicles, collect weapon upgrades, and protect the base represented by an eagle emblem.
Stages contain destructible blocks, obstacles, enemy spawn points, and varied terrain. The main objective is to eliminate the required enemy forces and survive each battle. Up to four players can cooperate on compatible cabinets, with progression continuing through increasingly difficult stages and stronger opponents.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Tank Force?
Keep moving instead of firing from one exposed position, and use blocks as temporary cover. Clear nearby threats before advancing toward distant enemy spawn points.
Protect the base as a priority. Collect weapon items when the route is safe, but do not cross open ground solely to obtain an upgrade. In multiplayer, divide the field so players are not blocking one another's movement or leaving the base undefended.
Before you begin
What should you know before playing?
- 1
Watch the base as carefully as your own tank; an enemy reaching it can end the battle.
- 2
Use destructible terrain to create safer firing lanes and retreat routes.
- 3
In cooperative play, spread out and cover separate approaches.
