The lower the rating, the less tonnage that the engine can handle. Engine: The engine determines the maximum loadout for the vehicle.Different chassis offer different levels of protection and speed (FAVs will offer less protection but the highest speed, whereas main battle tanks will offer the highest degree of defense at a lower mobility). This is the outer casing that holds everything together.
Vehicle parts are categorized into several different categories: Furthermore, money can be spent to modify each part of the tank, e.g., to increase the amount of ammunition which a given weapon carries (again at the cost of a further weight increase). As such, a balance must be struck, since every unit of weight not used for weaponry can be used to add additional armor tiles. Each item includes a weight value, with the tank's engine only able to drive a certain total amount of weight. Players select and purchase primary guns (referred as MAIN-limited in ammunition), secondary guns (referred as SUB or Sub Gun-unlimited ammunition) and special-purpose weaponry (referred as SE or Special Equipment-very limited in ammunition). The tanks can not only be equipped, but also customized on a very sophisticated level. While the different tank models are generally similar in practice, they each have slightly different innate characteristics. Nonetheless, most of the tanks are more traditional, such as a German Panzer, or two anti-aircraft tanks. These include a fire truck (complete with ladder) and a bus.
While the game uses the term "tank" to refer to all such vehicles, several of them are not actually tanks. There are a total of 15 tanks in the game. When not in combat, one additional tank can be towed and used to store spare parts or used as a spare vehicle. This provides an additional layer of defense, in that characters can exit the tank and continue to fight if the tank becomes inoperable. While fighting from within a tank, characters use the on-board weapons instead of their hand weapons, and suffer damage to the tank, rather than to their person. Although certain weapons are clearly intended to be used against certain foes, characters cannot change arms or armor during combat.Īll of the characters, with the exception of the dogs, can be placed within tanks to further improve their combat performance. As a result, skills are not necessarily as attractive as in other such games. While characters do have some skills which can be used during combat, these cost money to use (rather than using a separate mana/skill point pool) and often cannot be used when within a tank. For the remaining characters, players choose among a limited number of actions.
Any canine member of the party acts on his or her own, automatically attacking foes at random. Such hostile locations are relatively small, with much of their complexity being due to their maze-like nature (and the lack of an auto-mapping feature).Ĭombat is individually turn-based, utilizing a staggered initiative system (e.g., characters on foot are faster than those in tanks). The "dungeons" in the title are usually caves or abandoned buildings. Within towns, players can rest, repair vehicles, sell items, and other typical activities. Players travel between points of interest on an overworld map, during which point in time they can be attacked by randomly encountered foes. The game mechanics are similar to that of most role-playing video games.
