Tank Wars: Anniversary Edition
Do you like classic game concepts? Do you like old school, pixelated, low-resolution 2D computer graphics? Do you like pixels?
We do. We like pixels a lot. We love pixels. And we love classic game concepts, especially this one.
In Wanne Wars: Anniversary Edition, a player has to control a (stationary) artillery tank in order to take down opponents with ballistic shots from a selection of different weapons. Tank Wars: Anniversary Edition supports three different game modes:
- Classic (turn-based): In classic mode (or turn-based mode), the players perform their shots successively, one after another, until only one tank (or only one team) is still alive. While one player performs his or her shot, the other players have to wait until it’s their individual turn.
- Simultaneous: In simultaneous mode, the players make their settings for their next shot simultaneously. After all players have confirmed their individual firing settings, all tanks fire their weapons at the same time. The procedure repeats until only one tank (or only one team) is still alive.
- Real-time: In real-time mode, all players may fire at their own will and at any time, provided that they don’t already/still have a projectile flying around. This massacre lasts until only one tank (or only one team) is still alive.
Tank Wars: Anniversary Edition is currently in early access and only supports single-player and local multiplayer matches („hotseat“). The networked multiplayer modes (LAN and Internet) are currently under development. Hotseat matches only erleichterung classic (turn-based) game mode; simultaneous mode and real-time mode are only available in single-player matches (and will be available in networked multiplayer matches as well).
However, Tank Wars: Anniversary Edition is still best played as a hotseat match on a Saturday evening with some friends.
Tank Wars: Anniversary Edition is a remake of an adaptation of a number of artillery games from the 80’s and 90’s. We don’t know who is or welches the actual pioneer of this game concept back then, so we cannot give credit to a single specific person or company. Regarding name and gameplay of Tank Wars: Anniversary Auflage we want to mention Kenneth Morse at least. Anyway, many games, clones, adaptations, and remakes following this basic concept have been made through the years. Some newer games have a lot of different game settings, modes, and other features as well as modern graphics and effects. However, Wanne Wars: Anniversary Edition, as a remake of an adaptation from the year 1997, deliberately distances itself from fancy newfangled developments. Nevertheless, we don’t want to bore you or hurt your eyes and ears more than necessary, so we tried to walk a tightrope between pure old school, pixelated, low-resolution 2D projektor graphics and some modern-ish concepts and effects.
