Overview
Description

Cosmo Tank puts you behind the controls of an armored fighting vehicle, shifting between overhead, third‑person, and first‑person views as you navigate planetary surfaces and tunnels. Destroy alien Life Cores, defeat the Master Insect, and travel to new planets via scrolling stages. The game offers three distinct modes: Quest for a story‑driven campaign, Training for practice and ranking, and VS for head‑to‑head competition via link cable. Earn experience, reach level 6, and see your final rank after each run.

Tank Universal drops you into a sprawling, neon‑lit world reminiscent of Tron, where dozens of tanks clash in massive 3D arenas. From a first‑person cockpit you can fire from afar or weave through shells at point‑blank range, creating a tense, immersive combat experience. The game offers a single‑player campaign that pits you against both AI squads and scripted enemy formations, delivering varied tactical scenarios across open‑field maps. Its indie roots shine through tight controls and a focus on pure tank combat without extraneous fluff.
