Tankenstein is a 3rd person ARPG where the player controls a dishevelled tank in a post apocalyptic wasteland looking for new parts to survive and upgrade itself. All of the other tanks in the scrapyard have the same goal, which makes them hostile in this survival of the fittest arena.

About

Fight through a wasteland filled with rogue AI tanks that seek your destruction. Use clever strategies to destroy them before they destroy you, then lay claim to their parts to build the ultimate vehicle of destruction.
Featuring an in depth damage and projectile system, you will be rewarded for precise shooting and learning your opponents weak spots.
Trawl the wasteland for the scrap of the old world, and fight through hazardous environments to find the tools you need to survive and give yourself an edge in every battle.

Mix and match increasingly powerful gear scavenged from the wasteland to build a Franken-tank of looted parts. Separately upgrade your CPU by cannibalising the mind of your opponents to gain the ultimate edge in the final survival of the fittest.

The wasteland is a procedurally generated world of devastated environments. Each new biome provides a unique challenge for your vehicle. Master each to maintain the strategic advantage at all times.

Fight difficult bosses that challenge your build and tactics to become the dominant AI in the wasteland.

love this game. its gorgeous to play :)
I get some world of tanks lite in this game. RNG parts make it fun to loot. Rogue lite makes it so that the runs make you better each time. Hope more is added for bosses (only one type as of right now) and hopefully we can pain our tanks with decals or something like that. Double thumbs up.
I enjoyed the pretty straight forward gameplay. Pretty short learning curve. It is on the slower pace of things but if you appreciate tanks you understand why its slower paced. If you dive headfirst into a battle and get surrounded, you'll pretty much get pounded. A slower tactical playstyle goes a long way in the early game when gear is under-leveled. There is an overall upgrade system which I enjoy. Make it so I don't have to scrounge for mid gear every run and once fully upgraded you'd start out as strong as possible. Re-playability is there for sure. Making it in my rotation of rougelites for sure
So simple, yet so much fun. Collect parts, shoot tanks, steal their parts. Repeat until you have the tank of your dreams. Or are killed by the tank of your nightmares.
honestly quite a bit of fun. tried this on my steam deck and couldnt get the buttons to remap so i could use the scan ability. other than that it works fine on a regular pc
Definitely one of the better tank games out there now a days, as a guy that used to play war thunder and loves his roguelites/roguelikes this is up my ally 100%, combat is engaging and strategic while also being fair and balanced. plus you got that satisfying itch that only rogueslikes/roguelites seem to do well which is watching your little tank in this case turn into a massive land boat with a cannon. 100% recommend to tank lovers! here is what i'd love to see in the future for this game. ENDLESS MODE! the map is really big but there is still borders on the map, if a endless mode was introduced where the game just gets harder, harder, and harder the farther you go while also rewarding you with unique parts, that would be a HUGE plus. maybe this could be a unlockable end game mode the torrents in the bases could be a tad bit weaker health wise or let them take damage from blast radius damage, sometimes those direct hits on those little guys are more annoying than fun to clear out. also AI could be reworked when engaging a battle already going on, seems like if you engage in a battle already happening then the 2 AI tanks stop fighting each other and just go after you, make it where long range engagement in this scenario is less likely to trigger them both going after you. other than that i'm enjoying my time with this game! these 3 hours will rack up to the high double digits quick for me.
BEST TANK GAME EVER TRYED, after been held hostage in War Thunder and World of Tanks for thousens of hours. This game is a hiden gem! Such a great concept for a tank game. I'm finally free!!! <3
FREAKING AWESOME
God awful balance, I thought jokes were supposed to be funny, but this game is just outright bad, people glazing the ♥♥♥♥ out of apparently don't play actual games. There is no way that this game could be even considered good when you compare it to literally any other tank game out there, for ♥♥♥♥'s sake, a funny little tank game that came out in 2002 has better gameplay than this game does. "Upgrade your REM core." Why should I have to get some stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ upgrade to make the game even playable? In what world is that what makes or breaks the game? Why do I have to spend 15 hours just so I don't get randomly one shot by another tank that I am fighting? I say randomly because at least four out of the ten runs I've done have been to an enemy tank destroying my turret, subsequently some how dealing another set of damage to my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hull and killing me instantaneously without any counterplay. Absolutely awful.
