About game
Stuck in a dull meeting or waiting for your coffee to brew, you probably crave some instant action to clear your head. Battlezone hits the spot by putting you behind the controls of a heavy combat tank in hostile territory. You navigate the arena to blast through relentless waves of enemies while keeping a sharp eye on your radar. Every fifth wave brings a massive boss encounter that tests your tactical reflexes and precision aiming. Scrapping fallen foes earns you currency to beef up your armor and firepower back at the hangar. Tactical maneuvering allows you to dash away from incoming artillery fire when the battlefield becomes too crowded. Deciding when to retreat remains vital because you lose precious salvage if your tank goes down during a fight. Jump into this retro arcade tank shooter right now in your browser without any annoying downloads.
